Cautions for units utilizing refrigerant R410A
1-2. CAUTIONS RELATED TO NEW REFRIGERANT
1-1. ALWAYS OBSERVE FOR SAFETY
Before obtaining access to terminal, all supply circuits must be disconnected.
Charge refrigerant from liquid phase of gas cylinder.
If the refrigerant is charged from gas phase, composition change may occur in refrigerant and the efficiency
will be lowered.
Do not use refrigerant other than R410A.
If other refrigerant (R22 etc.) is used, chlorine in refrigerant can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil etc.
Use a vacuum pump with a reverse flow check valve.
Vacuum pump oil may flow back into refrigerant cycle and that can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil etc.
Use the following tools specifically designed for use with R410A refrigerant.
The following tools are necessary to use R410A refrigerant.
Handle tools with care.
If dirt, dust or moisture enters into refrigerant cycle, that can cause deterioration of refrigerant oil or malfunction
of compressor.
Do not use a charging cylinder.
If a charging cylinder is used, the composition of refrigerant will change and the efficiency will be lowered.
Electronic refrigerant
charging scale
Vacuum pump adaptor
Gauge manifold
Torque wrench
Gas leak detector
Charge hose
Tools for R410A
Ventilate the room if refrigerant leaks during operation. If refrigerant comes into contact with
a flame, poisonous gases will be released.
Preparation before the repair service.
• Prepare the proper tools.
• Prepare the proper protectors.
• Provide adequate ventilation.
• After stopping the operation of the air conditioner, turn off the power-supply beaker.
• Discharge the condenser before the work involving the electric parts.
Precautions during the repair service.
• Do not perform the work involving the electric parts with wet hands.
• Do not pour water into the electric parts.
• Do not touch the refrigerant.
• Do not touch the hot or cold areas in the refrigerating cycle.
• When the repair or the inspection of the circuit needs to be done without turning off the power,
exercise great caution not to touch the live parts.
