Refilling refrigerant
Check the type of refrigerant to be used on the machine nameplate.
Precautions when adding R410A
Fill from the liquid pipe in liquid form.
R410A is a mixed refrigerant, so adding it in gas form may cause the refrigerant composition to change, preventing normal
operation.
1)
Before filling, check whether the cylinder has a siphon attached or not. (It should have something like “liquid filling siphon
attached” displayed on it.)
Filling a cylinder with an attached siphon
Stand the cylinder upright when filling.
There is a siphon pipe inside, so the cylinder
need not be upside-down to fill with liquid.
Filling other cylinders
Turn the cylinder
upside-down when filling.
•
Be sure to use the R410A tools to ensure pressure and to prevent foreign objects entering.

Refrigerant piping work
7-1. Cautions on pipe handling
•
Protect the open end of the pipe from dust and moisture.
•
All pipe bends should be as gentle as possible. Use a pipe bender for
bending.
7-2. Selection of copper and heat insulation materials
When using commercial copper pipes and fittings, observe the following:
•
Insulation material: Polyethylene foam
Heat transfer rate: 0.041 to 0.052W/mK (0.024 to 0.030Btu/fth°F (0.035
to 0.045kcal/mh°C))
Be sure to use insulation that is designed for use with HVAC Systems.
•
ACR Copper only.
•
Be sure to insulate both the gas and liquid piping and observe the
insulation dimensions as below.
