Installation of Outdoor Units
9-6 Air tight test and vacuum drying
The units were checked for leaks by the manufacturer.
Confirm that the valves are firmly closed before Air tight test or vac-
uum drying.
To prevent entry of any impurities and ensure sufficient pressure
resistance, always use the special tools dedicated for R410A.
•
Air tight test:
Make sure to use nitrogen gas.
(For the service port location, refer to the
“Caution” label attached on the front panel
[right] of the outside unit.)
(Refer to figure)

[Caution] Label
Pressurize the liquid and gas pipes to 550
psi (do not pressurize more than 550 psi). If
the pressure does not drop within 24 hours,
the system passes the test. If the pressure drops, check where the
nitrogen leaks from.
•
Vacuum drying:
Use a vacuum pump which can evacuate to
–14.6 psi.
1.
Evacuate the system from the liquid and gas pipes by using a
vacuum pump for more than 2 hours and bring the system to
–14.6 psi or less. After keeping the system under that condition
for more than 1 hour, check if the vacuum gauge rises or not. If
it rises, the system may either contain moisture inside or have
leaks.
2.
Following should be executed if there is a possibility of mois-
ture remaining inside the pipe (if piping work is carried out dur-
ing the raining season or over a long period of time rainwater
may enter the pipe during work).
After evacuating the system for 2 hours, pressurize the system
to 7.25 psi (vacuum break) with nitrogen gas and evacuate the
system again using the vacuum pump for 1 hour to –14.6 psi or
less (vacuum drying). If the system cannot be evacuated to –
14.6 psi within 2 hours, repeat the operation of vacuum break
and vacuum drying.
Then, after leaving the system in vacuum for 1 hour, confirm
that the vacuum gauge does not rise.
NOTE
Make sure to perform air tight test and vacuum drying using the ser-
vice ports of the stop valve shown in the table below.
9-7 Pipe insulation
After finishing the leak test and vacuum drying, the piping must be
insulated. Take into account the following points:
• Make sure to insulate the connection piping and refrigerant branch
kits entirely.
• Be sure to insulate the liquid-side, suction gas-side and discharge
gas-side piping for the inter-unit piping and the refrigerant branch
kits.
Not insulating them may cause leaking. Be sure to use insulation
that is designed for use with HVAC Systems.
• If you think the humidity around the cooling piping might exceed
86 °F and RH80%, reinforce the insulation on the cooling piping (at
least 13/16” thick). Condensation might form on the surface of the
insulation.
• If there is a possibility that condensation on the stop valve might
drip down into the indoor unit through gaps in the insulation and
piping because the outside unit is located higher than the indoor
unit, etc., this must be prevented by caulking the connections, etc.
WARNING
• Be sure to insulate connection piping, as touching them can
cause burns.
9-8 Checking of device and installation conditions
Be sure to check the followings.
1.
Make sure there is no faulty power wiring or loosing of a nut.
See “
8. FIELD WIRING
”.
2.
Make sure there is no faulty transmission wiring or loosing of a nut.
See “
8. FIELD WIRING
”.
3.
Make sure there is no faulty refrigerant piping.
See “
9. REFRIGERANT PIPING
”.
4.
Make sure piping size is correct.
See “
9-1 Selection of piping material
”.
5.
Make sure insulation work is done.
See “
9-7 Pipe insulation
”.
6.
Make sure insulation resistance of main power circuit is not dete-
riorated.
Using a megatester for 500V, check that the insulation resistance
of 2M
or more is attained by applying a voltage of 500V DC
between power terminals and earth. Never use the megatester for
the transmission wiring (between outside and indoor unit, outside
and COOL/HEAT selector and etc.).
9-9 Additional refrigerant charge
WARNING
• To avoid injury always use protective gloves and eye protection
when charging refrigerant.
•
To avoid injury do not charge with unsuitable substances. Use only
the appropriate refrigerant.
NOTE
•
Refrigerant cannot be charged until field wiring has been com-
pleted.
Refrigerant may only be charged after performing the leak test
and the vacuum drying (see above).
When charging a system, care shall be taken that its maximum
permissible charge is never exceeded, in view of the danger of
liquid hammer.
Refrigerant containers shall be opened slowly.
TO AVOID COMPRESSOR BREAKDOWN. DO NOT CHARGE THE
REFRIGERANT MORE THAN THE SPECIFED AMOUNT TO RAISE
THE CONDENSING PRESSURE.
• This outside unit is factory charged with refrigerant and depending
on pipe sizes and pipe lengths some systems require additional
charging of refrigerant.
• Determine the amount of refrigerant to be added by referring to the
table, write it down on the included “Added Refrigerant” plate and
attach it to the rear side of the front cover.
Note: refer to the example of connection for the amount to be added.
Additional refrigerant charge procedure (1)-normally
• Charge the refrigerant to the liquid pipe in its liquid state. Since
R410A is a mixed refrigerant, its composition changes if charged
in a state of gas and normal system operation would no longer be
assured.
• Make sure to use installation tools you exclusively use on R410A
installations to withstand the pressure and to prevent foreign mate-
rials from mixing into the system.
