1-4 Precautions for Handling Refrigerant for Air Conditioner
Environmental Cautions: Air pollution due to gas release
႑
Safety Cautions
If liquid gas is released, then body parts that come into contact with it may experience frostbite/blister/numbness.
If a large amount of gas is released, then suffocation may occur due to lack of oxygen. If the released gas is heated, then noxious
gas may be produced by combustion.
႑
Container Handling Cautions
Do not subject container to physical shock or overheating. (Flowage is possible while moving within the regulated pressure.)
1-5 Precautions for Welding the Air Conditioner Pipe
႑
Dangerous or flammable objects around the pipe must be removed before the welding.
႑
If the refrigerant is kept inside the product or the pipe, then remove the refrigerant prior to welding.
If the welding is carried out while the refrigerant is kept inside, the welding cannot be properly performed. This will also produce
noxious gas that is a health hazard. This leakage will also explode with the refrigerant and oil due to an increase in the refrigerant
pressure, posing a danger to workers.
႑
Please remove the oxide produced inside the pipe during the welding with nitrogen gas.
Using another gas may cause harm to the product or others.
1-6 Precautions for Additional Supplement of Air Conditioner Refrigerant
႑
Precisely calculate the refrigerant by using a scale and S-net, and proceed with the test operation.
Excessive supplement can cause harm to the product since it can cause an inflow of the liquid refrigerant into the compressor.
႑
Do not heat the refrigerant container for a forced injection.
This may cause harm to the product or others since the refrigerant container may burst.
႑
Do not operate the product after removing the product safety pressure switch and sensor.
If the product is blocked inside, then this may cause harm to the product or others due to the excess pressure increase of the
refrigerant gas.
1-7 Other Precautions
႑
There should be no leakage of the pipes after installation. When withdrawing the refrigerant, the compressor should be
stopped before removing the connecting pipe.
If the compressor is operating while the refrigerant pipe is not correctly connected and the service valve is opened, then
air and other substances can enter the pipe. The interior of the refrigerant cycle may then build up excessive high pressure
resulting in explosion and damage.
