INFORMATION
After opening the stop valve, it is possible that the pressure in the refrigerant piping
does NOT increase. This might be caused by e.g. the closed state of the expansion
valve in the outdoor unit circuit, but does NOT present any problem for correct
operation of the unit.
8.3.5 To insulate the refrigerant piping
After finishing the leak test and vacuum drying, the piping must be insulated. Take
into account the following points:
▪ Be sure to insulate the liquid and gas piping (for all units).
▪ Use heat resistant polyethylene foam which can withstand a temperature of 70°C
for liquid piping and polyethylene foam which can withstand a temperature of
120°C for gas piping.
▪ Reinforce the insulation on the refrigerant piping according to the installation
environment.
NOTICE
It is recommended that the refrigerant piping between indoor and outdoor unit is
installed in a ducting or the refrigerant piping is wrapped with finishing tape.
