Performing leak test & insulation
Insulation
Once you have checked that there are no leaks in the system,
you can insulate the piping and hose.
1
To avoid condensation problems, place
T13.0 or thicker
Acrylonitrile Butadien Rubber
separately around each
refrigerant pipe.
Note
Always make the seam of pipes face upwards.
2
Wind insulating tape around the pipes and drain hose
avoiding to compress the insulation too much.
3
Finish wrapping insulating tape around the rest of the
pipes leading to the outdoor unit.
4
The pipes and electrical cables connecting the indoor
unit with the outdoor unit must be fixed to the wall with
suitable ducts.
Leak test
LEAK TEST WITH NITROGEN (before opening valves)
In order to detect basic refrigerant leaks, before recreating the
vacuum and recirculating the R410A, it’s responsible of installer
to pressurize the whole system with nitrogen (using a pressure
regulator) at a pressure above 4.1MPa (gauge).
LEAK TEST WITH R410A (after opening valves)
Before opening valves, discharge all the nitrogen into the system
and create vacuum. After opening valves check leaks using a
leak detector for refrigerant R410A.
Discharge all the nitrogen to create a vacuum and
charge the system.
All refrigerant connection must be accessible, in order
to permit either unit maintenance or removing it
completely.
