WARNING

Provide adequate measures to prevent that the unit can be
used  as  a  shelter  by  small  animals.  Small  animals  that
make contact with electrical parts can cause malfunctions,
smoke or fire.

5.4

Checking the refrigerant piping

5.4.1

About checking the refrigerant piping

Refrigerant piping works are 

finished?

The indoor units, compressor 

unit and/or heat exchanger 

unit were already powered 

ON?

Use procedure:
"Method 2: After power ON".

Finish piping work.

Use procedure:
"Method 1: Before power ON 

(regular method)".

Yes

No

No

Yes

It is very important that all refrigerant piping work is done before the
units  (compressor  unit,  heat  exchanger  unit  or  indoor  units)  are
powered on.

When the units are powered on, the expansion valves will initialise.
This means that they will close. Leak test and vacuum drying of field
piping, heat exchanger unit and indoor units is impossible when this
happens.

Therefore,  there  will  be  explained  2  methods  for  initial  installation,
leak test and vacuum drying.

Method 1: Before power ON

If  the  system  has  not  yet  been  powered  on,  no  special  action  is
required to perform the leak test and the vacuum drying.

Method 2: After power ON

If  the  system  has  already  been  powered  on,  activate  setting  [2‑21]
(refer  to 

"6.1.4  To  access  mode  1  or  2"  on  page  20

).  This  setting

will  open  field  expansion  valves  to  guarantee  a  R410A  piping
pathway  and  make  it  possible  to  perform  the  leak  test  and  the
vacuum drying.

NOTICE

Make sure that the heat exchanger unit and all indoor units
connected to the compressor unit are powered on.

NOTICE

Wait until the compressor unit has finished the initialisation
to apply setting [2‑21].

Leak test and vacuum drying

Checking the refrigerant piping involves:

▪ Checking for any leakages in the refrigerant piping.

▪ Performing  vacuum  drying  to  remove  all  moisture,  air  or  nitrogen

in the refrigerant piping.

If  there  is  a  possibility  of  moisture  being  present  in  the  refrigerant
piping  (for  example,  water  may  have  entered  the  piping),  first  carry
out  the  vacuum  drying  procedure  below  until  all  moisture  has  been
removed.

All piping inside the unit has been factory tested for leaks.

Only  field  installed  refrigerant  piping  needs  to  be  checked.
Therefore,  make  sure  that  all  the  compressor  unit  stop  valves  are
firmly closed before performing leak test or vacuum drying.

NOTICE

Make  sure  that  all  (field  supplied)  field  piping  valves  are
OPEN  (not  compressor  unit  stop  valves!)  before  you  start
leak test and vacuuming.

For  more  information  on  the  state  of  the  valves,  refer  to

"5.4.3 Checking refrigerant piping: Setup" on page 13

.

5.4.2

Checking refrigerant piping: General
guidelines

Connect the vacuum pump through a manifold to the service port of
all  stop  valves  to  increase  efficiency  (refer  to 

"5.4.3  Checking

refrigerant piping: Setup" on page 13

).

NOTICE

Use  a  2-stage  vacuum  pump  with  a  non-return  valve  or  a
solenoid  valve  that  can  evacuate  to  a  gauge  pressure  of
–⁠100.7 kPa (5 Torr absolute).

NOTICE

Make  sure  the  pump  oil  does  not  flow  oppositely  into  the
system while the pump is not working.

NOTICE

Do not purge the air with refrigerants. Use a vacuum pump
to evacuate the installation.

5.4.3

Checking refrigerant piping: Setup

The system contains 2 refrigerant circuits:

Circuit 1:

 Compressor unit → Heat exchanger unit

Circuit 2:

 Compressor unit → Indoor units

You  have  to  check  both  circuits  (leak  test,  vacuuming  drying).  How
to check depends on your available tools:

If you have a

manifold…

Then

With refrigerant line
splitters

You can check both circuits at once. To do
so, connect the manifold via the splitters to
both circuits, and check.

Without refrigerant
line splitters

(takes twice as long)

You have to check the circuits separately. To
do so:

▪ First  connect  the  manifold  to 

circuit  1

,

and check.

▪ Then  connect  the  manifold  to 

circuit  2

,

and check.
