3 Prepare eld-supplied copper pipes.
4 Select clean copper pipes. Make sure there is no dust and
moisture inside.
5 As the new refrigerant (R410A) is adopted, the refrigerant
oil has been also changed, which tends to be a󰀨ected by
foreign matters such as moisture, oxide lm, fat. Perform the
installation work with care not to enter moisture, dust or old
refrigerant into the refrigerant cycle, otherwise the parts such
as expansion valve bite foreign matter and the operation
may be unavailable.
6 Use a pipe cutter to avoid a grind swarf generation for the
pipe cutting work. (Do not use a saw or a grind stone to cut
pipes.) Blow the inside of the pipes with nitrogen or dry air,
to remove any dust or foreign materials before connecting
pipes.
