(2) Cautions for refrigerant piping work
New refrigerant R32 is adopted for replacement inverter series. Although the refrigerant piping work for R32 is same as for
R22, exclusive tools are necessary so as not to mix with different kind of refrigerant. Furthermore as the working pressure
of R32 is 1.6 times higher than that of R22, their sizes of flared sections and flare nuts are different.
Thickness of pipes
Because the working pressure of R32 is higher compared to R22, be sure to use refrigerant piping with thickness shown
below. (Never use pipes of 0.7 mm or below.)
Dimensions of flare cutting and flare nut
The component molecules in HFC refrigerant are smaller compared to conventional refrigerants. In addition to that, R32
is a refrigerant, which has higher risk of leakage because its working pressure is higher than that of other refrigerants.
Therefore, to enhance airtightness and strength, flare cutting dimension of copper pipe for R32 has been specified sepa-
rately from the dimensions for other refrigerants as shown below. The dimension B of flare nut for R32 also has partly
been changed to increase strength as shown below. Set copper pipe correctly referring to copper pipe flaring dimensions
for R32 below. For 1/2 and 5/8 inch pipes, the dimension B changes.
Use torque wrench corresponding to each dimension.
