PIPING
WORK
For refrigerant piping of outdoor unit, refer to the installation manual
supplied with the outdoor unit.
Execute heat insulation work completely on both sides of the gas
piping and the liquid piping. Otherwise, this can sometimes result in
water leakage.
Before rigging tubes, check which type of refrigerant is used.
■
Use a pipe cutter and flare suitable for the used refrigerant.
■
To prevent dust, moisture or other foreign matter from infiltrating
the tube, either pinch the end, or cover it with tape.
■
Use copper alloy seamless pipes (ISO 1337).
■
The outdoor unit is charged with refrigerant.
■
To prevent water leakage, execute heat insulation work
completely on both sides of the gas and liquid piping. When
using a heat pump, the temperature of the gas piping can reach
up to approximately 120°C, use insulation which is sufficiently
heat resistant.
■
Be sure to use both a spanner and torque wrench together when
connecting or disconnecting pipes to/from the unit.
■
Do not mix anything other than the specified refrigerant, such as
air, etc..., inside the refrigerant circuit.
■
Refer to
Table 1
for the dimensions of flare nut spaces and the
appropriate tightening torque. (Overtightening may damage the
flare and cause leaks.)
Table 1
■
When connecting the flare nut, coat the flare both inside and
outside with ether oil or ester oil and initially tighten by hand 3 or
4 turns before tightening firmly.
Coat here with ether oil or ester oil
■
If the refrigerant gas leaks during the work, ventilate the area. A
toxic gas is emitted by the refrigerant gas being exposed to a fire.
■
Make sure there is no refrigerant gas leak. A toxic gas may be
released by the refrigerant gas leaking indoor and being
exposed to flames from an area heater, cooking stove, etc.
■
Finally, insulate as shown in the figure below (use the supplied
accessory parts)
Piping insulation procedure
Cautions for brazing
■
Be sure to carry out a nitrogen blow when brazing.
Brazing without carrying out nitrogen replacement or releasing
nitrogen into the piping will create large quantities of oxidized
film on the inside of the pipes, adversely affecting valves and
compressors in the refrigerating system and preventing normal
operation.
■
When brazing while inserting nitrogen into the piping, nitrogen
must be set to 0.02 MPa with a pressure-reducing valve (=just
enough so that it can be felt on the skin).
All field piping must be provided by a licensed refrigeration
technician and must comply with the relevant local and
national codes.

For local insulation, be sure to insulate local piping all
the way into the pipe connections inside the unit.
Exposed piping may cause condensation or may
cause burns when touched.
