R-410A Quick reference guide
specific installation requirements.
•
R-410A refrigerant operates at 50–70% higher pressures than R-22. Ensure that servicing
equipment and replacement components are designed to operate with R-410A.
•
R-410A refrigerant cylinders are rose colored.
•
Recovery cylinder service pressure rating must be 400 psig. DOT 4BA400 or DOT BW400.
•
Recovery equipment must be rated for R-410A.
•
Do not use R-410A service equipment on R-22 systems. All hoses, gages, recovery cylinders,
charging cylinders, and recovery equipment must be dedicated for use on R-410A systems
only.
•
Manifold sets must be at least 700 psig high side and 180 psig low side with 550 psig retard.
•
All hoses must have a service pressure rating of 800 psig.
•
Leak detectors must be designed to detect HFC refrigerants.
•
Systems must be charged with refrigerant. Use a commercial type metering device in the
manifold hose.
•
R-410A can only be used with polyester (POE) type oils.
•
POE type oils rapidly absorb moisture from the atmosphere.
•
Vacuum pumps do not remove moisture from POE type oils.
•
Do not use liquid line driers with a rated working pressure rating less than 600 psig.
•
Do not install suction line driers in the liquid line.
•
A liquid line drier is required on every unit.
•
Do not use an R-22 TXV. If a TXV is to be used, it must be an R-410A TXV.
•
Never open system to atmosphere when under vacuum.
•
If system must be opened for service, evacuate system then break the vacuum with dry
nitrogen, and replace filter driers.
