and gas leak check.
4.7. Precautions when reusing existing R22 refrigerant pipes
• Refer to the flowchart below to determine if the existing pipes can be used and if it is necessary to use a filter dryer.
• If the diameter of the existing pipes is different from the specified diameter, refer to technological data materials to confirm if the pipes can be used.
Measure the existing pipe thickness and
check for damage.
The existing pipe thickness meets specifica
-
tions and the pipes are not damaged.
Check if the existing air conditioner can operate.
After operating the cooling system for about 30
minutes, do a pump down work.
Disconnect the existing air conditioner from the
pipes.
Attach the new air conditioner
Test run
* Refer to 7..
The existing pipes cannot be reused.
Use new pipes.
* If the existing air conditioner cannot operate, use
a refrigerant recovery device to collect the refrigerant.
* In case existing pipes were used for gas or oil
heat pump systems, be sure to clean the pipes.
The existing pipe thickness does not meet
specifications or the pipes are damaged.
