2 Flaring work and flare nut
Flaring work for R410A pipe differs from that for R22 pipe.
For details of flaring work, refer to Installation manual “FLARING WORK”.
3.Refrigerantion oil
Apply the special refrigeration oil (accessories: packed with indoor unit) to the flare and the union seat surfaces.
4.Air purge
• Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
Take care not to discharge refrigerant into the atmosphere during installation, reinstallation, or repairs to the refrigerant
circuit.
• Use the vacuum pump for air purging for the purpose of environmental protection.
5.Additional charge
For additional charging, charge the refrigerant from liquid phase of the gas cylinder.
If the refrigerant is charged from the gas phase, composition change may occur in the refrigerant inside the cylinder and the
outdoor unit. In this case, ability of the refrigerating cycle decreases or normal operation can be impossible. However,
charging the liquid refrigerant all at once may cause the compressor to be locked. Thus, charge the refrigerant slowly.
2.Refrigerant piping
1 Specifications
Use the refrigerant pipes that meet the following specifications.
• Use a copper pipe or a copper-alloy seamless pipe with a thickness of 0.8 mm (6.35, 9.52, 12.7), 1.0 mm (15.88).
Never use any pipe with a thickness less than 0.8 mm (6.35, 9.52, 12.7), 1.0 mm (15.88), as the pressure resistance is
insufficient.
