[Installation]
1. Prepare to install the compressor.
¶ Remove the crankcase heater.
¶ Remove the compressor. Nuts with washers
¶ Install the new compressor. Install it in the same status that the old compressor was originally in.
¶ Remove the stoppers over the outlet and intake ports of the new compressor.
¶ Install the crankcase heater.
¶ Mount the oil sensor onto the new compressor.
¶ Mount the flare nuts and other parts which were removed from the new compressor onto the failed compressor.
2. Install the compressor in the outdoor unit. (Be absolutely sure to check the compressor’s model number.)
3. Shape the pipes and insert them into the welded areas.
4. Replace the air inside the pipes with nitrogen. (If the pipes have not been inserted, discharge a small amount of the
nitrogen while using a burner to apply heat to them, and insert. Use wet cloths or other suitable materials to cool off
the surrounding pipes.)
5. Braze with silver (in two places: discharge pipe and suction pipe). Braze with copper (in one place).
Remove the paint, oil and other foreign matter from the silver brazing areas. Failure to do this may cause leaks.
6. Close valve V9 and open valve V6, and inspect for leaks. (Keep the pressure within the 1.27 to 1.47 MPa (13-15
kg/cm
2
) range in order to protect the low-pressure switch.) (Ref. Fig. A)
Under no circumstances must the pressure exceed 1.47 MPa (15 kg/cm
2
).
7. Close valve V6 and open valve V9, and prepare for establishing a vacuum. (Ref. Fig. A)
8. In the silver brazing areas, remove the flux, and touch up the paint-work.
Be absolutely sure to attach the discharge sensor.
