Refilling the refrigerant
Check the type of refrigerant to be used on the machine nameplate.
Fill from the gas pipe in liquid form.

Refrigerant piping work
7-1 Cautions on pipe 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.
7-2 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 for gas and liquid refrigerant pipes.
NOTE
Piping and other pressure-containing parts shall comply with the applicable legislation and shall be
suitable for the used refrigerant. Use phosphoric acid deoxidised seamless copper for refrigerant.

NOTE
National implementation of EU regulation on certain fluorinated greenhouse gases may require to provide the appropriate official national language on the unit.
Therefore an additional multilingual fluorinated greenhouse gases label is supplied with the unit. Sticking instructions are illustrated on the backside of that label.
NOTICE
In Europe, the
greenhouse gas emissions
of the total refrigerant charge in the system (expressed as tonnes CO
2
-equivalent)
is used to determine the maintenance intervals. Follow the applicable legislation.
Formula to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions:
GWP value of the refrigerant × Total refrigerant charge [in kg] / 1000
Use the GWP value mentioned on the refrigerant charge label. This GWP value is based on the 4th IPCC
Assessment
Report. The GWP value mentioned in the manual might be outdated (i.e., based on the 3rd IPCC Assessment Report).
