Piping Materials and Handling

Pipes used for the refrigerant piping system must include the specified thickness, and the
interior must be clean.
While handling and storing, do not bend or damage the pipes, and take care not to
contaminate the interior with dust, moisture, etc.

Clean

Airtight

No moisture should be inside the piping.

No dust should be inside the piping.

No leaks should occur.

Possible
Problems

- Significant hydrolysis of refrigerant oil.

- Refrigerant oil degradation.

- Poor insulation of the compressor.

- System does not operate properly.

- EEVs, capillary tubes are clogged.

- Refrigerant oil degradation.

- Poor insulation of the compressor.

- System does not operate properly.

- EEVs and capillary tubes become

clogged.

- Refrigerant gas leaks / shortages.

- Refrigerant oil degradation.

- Poor insulation of the compressor.

- System does not operate properly.

Solutions

- Remove moisture from the piping.

- Piping ends should remain capped until

connections are complete.

- Do not install piping on a rainy day.

- Connect piping properly at the unit’s side.

- Remove caps only after the piping is

cut, the burrs are removed, and after

passing the piping through the walls.

- Evacuate system to a minimum of 500

microns and insure the vacuum holds at

that level for 1 hour.

- Remove dust from the piping.

- Piping ends should remain capped until

connections are complete.

- Connect piping properly at the side of

the unit.

- Remove caps only after the piping is cut

and burrs are removed.

- Retain the cap on the piping when

passing it through walls, etc.

- Test system for air tightness.

- Perform brazing procedures that comply

with all applicable standards.

- Perform flaring procedures that comply

with all applicable standards.

- Perform flanging procedures that

comply with all applicable standards.

- Ensure that refrigerant lines are pressure

tested to 550 psig and hold for 24 hours.

Moisture

Dust

Leaks

Keep Pipes Capped While Storing.

Keep refrigerant pipe dry, clean, and airtight.
