MULTI

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 contami-

nate the interior with dust, moisture, etc. See Table 18 for care of piping.

Dry

Clean

Airtight

Principles

No moisture should be inside the piping.

No dust should be inside the piping.

No leaks should occur.

Problems

Caused

- 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 ensure the vacuum holds at

that level for 24 hours

- 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.

Moisture

Dust

Leaks
