Pressure Vessel and Safety Device: This air conditioner
is equippedwithahighpressurevesselunderPED(Pres-
sure Equipment Directive). The pressure vessel has
been designed and tested before shipment according to
PED.Also, in order to prevent the system from an abnor-
mal pressure, a high pressure switch, which needs no
eld adjustment, is utilized in the refrigeration system.
Therefore, this air conditioner is protected from abnormal
pressures. However, if abnormally high pressure is ap-
