Removal of Distributor
Procedure
Warning
Be sure to wait for 10 minutes or more after turning off all power supplies
before disassembling work.
Step
Procedure
Points
Before working, make sure
that the refrigerant gas is
empty in the circuit.
Be sure to apply nitrogen
replacement when heating
up the brazed part.
Warning
Be careful not to burn yourself
with the pipes and other parts
that are heated by the gas
brazing machine.
Warning
If the refrigerant gas leaks
during work, immediately
ventilate the room. (If the
refrigerant gas is exposed to
flames, toxic gas may be
generated.)
Caution
For global environment
protection, do not discharge
the refrigerant gas in the
atmosphere. Make sure to
collect all the refrigerant gas.
Cautions for restoration
1. Restore the piping by non-
oxidation brazing.
2. It is required to prevent the
carbonization of the oil inside
the four-way valve and the
deterioration of the gaskets
affected by heat. Keep below
248°F(120°C). Wrap the four-
way valve with wet cloth and
provide water so that the cloth
does not dry.
In case of difficulty with gas
brazing machine
1. Disconnect the brazed part
where is easy to disconnect
and restore.
2. Cut pipes on the main unit
with a tube cutter in order to
make it easy to disconnect.
1
Remove the putty.
2
Heat up and disconnect
the 5 brazed parts to
remove the distributor.
Note:
Do not use a metal saw for
cutting pipes or sawdust will
enter the circuit.
When withdrawing the pipes,
be careful not to pinch them
firmly with pliers. The pipes
may get deformed.
Provide a protective sheet or
a steel plate so that the
brazing flame cannot
influence peripheries.
