SAFETY PRECAUTION
1
Cautions for using with the outdoor unit which adopts R407C refrigerant.
· Do not use the existing refrigerant piping.
-The old refrigerant and lubricant in the existing piping contains a large amount of chlorine which may cause the lubricant
deterioration of the new unit.
· Use “low residual oil piping”.
-If there is a large amount of residual oil (hydraulic oil, etc.) inside the piping and joints, deterioration of the lubricant will result.
· Store the piping to be used during installation indoors with keep both ends sealed until just before brazing.
(Store elbows and other joints in a plastic bag.)
-If dust, dirt, or water enters the refrigerant cycle, deterioration of the oil and compressor trouble may result.
· Use ESTR , ETHER or HAB as the lubricant to coat flares and flange connection parts.
Use liquid refrigerant to seal the system.
-If gas refrigerant is used to seal the system, the composition of the refrigerant in the cylinder will change and performance
may drop.
· Do not use a refrigerant other than R407C.
-If another refrigerant (R22, etc.) is used, the chlorine in the refrigerant may cause the lubricant deterioration.
· Use a vacuum pump with a reverse flow check valve.
-The vacuum pump oil may flow back into the refrigerant cycle and cause the lubricant deterioration.
