Preparation of tools and installation parts

Preparation of installation

2

Flaring the pipes

To insert the flare nuts, mounted on the con-

nection parts of both indoor and outdoor unit,

onto the copper pipes.

3

Pipe bending

To insert the flare nuts, mounted on the con-

nection parts of both indoor and outdoor unit,

onto the copper pipes.

4

Connection of installation parts (elbows,

socket etc)

To reduce the flow resistance of refrigerant.

5

Tighten the flare nut (outdoor)

Connection of long piping

6

Blowing the pipings

Connecting the pipings of the outdoor unit.

7

Tighten the flare nut (indoor)

To remove dust and scale in working.

8

Check a gas-leakage of the connecting part of

the pipings.

Connecting the pipings of the indoor unit.

9

Vacuum drying of the piping and indoor unit

10

Open the 3-way (liquid side) and 3-way (gas

side) valves.

The air which contains moisture and which re-

mains in the refrigeration cycle may cause a

malfunction on the compressor

11

Form the pipings

12

Checking the drainage (indoor unit)

To prevent heat loss and sweat

13

Connecting the cable between outdoor and

indoor unit

To ensure if water flow drain hose of indoor

unit.

14

Connecting the main cable to outdoor unit

Preparation of the operating

15

Supply the power to the crankcase heater

(Before the operating the unit)

16

Cooling operation (Use the remote control or

display of the indoor unit)

To prevent the liquid back to the compressor.

(Heat pump only)
