EAK TEST AND VACUUM DRYING
The units were checked for leaks by the manufacturer.
After connecting the field piping, perform the following inspections.
1 Preparations
Referring to figure 23 , connect a nitrogen tank, a refrigerant tank
and a vacuum pump to the outdoor unit and perform the
airtightness test and the vacuum drying.
The refrigerant tank and the charge hose connected to the
refrigerant charge port or valve A are needed to perform
refrigerant charging.
2 Airtightness test and vacuum drying
■
Airtightness test:
Pressurize the liquid pipe, the suction gas pipe, the high
pressure/low pressure gas pipe and the equalizer pipe from the
service ports of each stop valve to 4.0 MPa (40 bar) (do not
pressurize more than 4.0 MPa (40 bar)). If the pressure does not
drop within 24 hours, the system passes the test. If the pressure
drops, check where the nitrogen leaks from.
Note 1
When the equiv
alent pipe length betw
een outdoor and indoor units is 90 m or more
, the siz

It is necessar
y to increase the pipe siz
e of the liquid and suction gas pipe if the pipe length betw
een the
first and the final br
anch kit is o
v
er 40 m (reducers m
ust be procured on site).
Increasing the HP/LP gas
pipe siz
e is not allo
w
ed.
■
If the increased liquid pipe siz
e is larger than the pipe siz
e of the main liquid pipe
, then the pipe siz
e of
the main liquid pipe needs to be increased as w

NOTE Make sure to perform airtightness test

ports of the stop valves of the
equalizer pipe, HP/LP gas pipe,
suction gas pipe and liquid pipe. (For
the service port location, refer to the
"Caution" label attached on the front
panel of the outdoor unit.)
■
See "11.3. Stop valve operation procedure" on
page 18 for details on handling the stop valve.
■
To prevent entry of any contamination and to
prevent insufficient pressure resistance, always
use the special tools dedicated for working with
R410A refrigerant.
NOTE Make sure to use nitrogen gas.
