Remove the suction pipe and discharge pipe from
compressor.
?
N O T E
• Compressor piping are connected by brazing. MAKE SURE that any
flammable material is not around before heating with burner for the oil
inside the piping may flame up.
• Do not expose the refrigerant cycle to the atmosphere for a long
period to avoid moisture or dust into the cycle. Be sure to replace the
compressor immediately after removing. Seal the suction and discharge
pipes when the refrigerant cycle is left unattached for a long period.
• Remove the cap of new compressor right before the replacement.
Before mounting the compressor seal the suction and discharge pipes
with a tape to protect the compressor from dust. Remove the tape
when blazing the pipe.
• For piping at reassembling ensure that the compressor terminal
numbers and wiring mark band codes are matched. Incorrect wiring
numbers may result in inverse rotation and damage of the compressor.

N O T E
Be sure to separate the blazing burner flame sufficiently from the wires and electrical components around the brazed part in order to
avoid burning.
When replacing the compressor, the brazed material used for connecting the compressor and refrigerant pipes can
drop into the pipes and get sucked into the compressor, causing a compressor failure. To avoid this, take the following
points into account when replacing the compressor:
a.
File away brazing material remaining on the end of the refrigerant pipes.
!
C A U T I O N
Be careful to avoid filed brazing material entering into the pipes.
b.
Insert the pipes fully in to prevent brazing material from entering them.

c.
Refer to the table for the recommended amount of brazing material. If using more brazing material than the
recommended amount, it may drop into the pipes.

C A U T I O N
When brazing the pipes, prevent oxidized scale formation by nitrogen substitution.
