2.
Flaring the pipe end.
1) Cut the pipe end with a pipe cutter.
2) Remove burrs with the cut surface facing downward
so that the chips do not enter the pipe.
3) Put the flare nut on the pipe.
4) Flare the pipe.
5) Check that the flaring is properly made.
WARNING
1) Do not use mineral oil on flared part.
2) Prevent mineral oil from getting into the system as this would reduce the lifetime of the units.
3) Never use piping which has been used for previous installations. Only use parts which are delivered with the unit.
4) Do never install a drier to this R410A unit in order to guarantee its lifetime.
5) The drying material may dissolve and damage the system.
6) Incomplete flaring may cause refrigerant gas leakage.
3.
Refrigerant piping.
1) Align the centres of both flares and tighten the flare nuts 3 or 4 turns by
hand. Then tighten them fully with the torque wrenches.
• Use torque wrenches when tightening the flare nuts to prevent damage
to the flare nuts and escaping gas.
2) To prevent gas leakage, apply refrigeration machine oil on both inner and
outer surfaces of the flare. (Use refrigeration oil for R410A)
3-1. Caution on piping handling.
1) Protect the open end of the pipe against dust and moisture.
2) All pipe bends should be as gentle as possible. Use a pipe bender
for bending.
(Bending radius should be 30 to 40mm or larger.)
3-2. Selection of copper and heat insulation materials.
• When using commercial copper pipes and fittings, observe the following:
1) Insulation material: Polyethylene foam
Heat transfer rate: 0.041 to 0.052W/mK (0.035 to 0.045kcal/mh°C)
Refrigerant gas pipe’s surface temperature reaches 110°C max.
Choose heat insulation materials that will withstand this temperature.
2) Be sure to insulate both the gas and liquid piping and to provide insulation
dimensions as below.
3) Use separate thermal insulation pipes for gas and liquid refrigerant pipes.
