2-3-1. Necessary tools
In Air to Water Heat Pump using R410A, the service port diameter of packed valve of the outdoor unit is changed
to prevent mixing of other refrigerant. To reinforce the pressure resistance, flare dimensions and opposite side
dimensions of flare nut (For Ø 12.7 copper pipe) of the refrigerant piping are lengthened.
Because the refrigerating machine oil is changed, mixing of oil may generate sludge, clog capillary, or cause other
problems. Accordingly, the tools to be used include:
•
tools dedicated for R410A (Those that cannot be used for the conventional refrigerant, R22)
• tools dedicated for R410A, but can be also used for the conventional refrigerant, R22
• tools that can be used for the conventional refrigerant, R22.
The following table shows the tools dedicated for R410A and their interchangeability.
Tools dedicated for R410A (The following tools must be for R410A)
Tools whose specifications are changed for R410A and their interchangeability
* (Note 1) Flaring for R410A by using the conventional flare tool requires projection margin adjustment. This
adjustment requires copper pipe gauge or other instrument.
* (Note 2) A charging cylinder for R410A is currently under development.
General tools (Conventional tools are available)
In addition to the above dedicated tools, the following equipment also available for R22 is necessary as the general
tools.
Also prepare the following equipment for other work methods or run check.
