R-410A QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
Refer to Installation Instructions for specific installation requirements
R-410A refrigerant operates at 50 - 70 percent higher pressures than R-22. Be sure 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 liquid refrigerant. Use a commercial type metering device
in the manifold hose.
R-410A can only be used with POE type oils.
POE type oils rapidly absorb moisture from the atmosphere.
Vacuum pumps will
not
remove moisture from R-410A refrigerant 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 a R-22 TXV. If a TXV is to be used, it must be a R-410A TXV.
Never open system to atmosphere when under a vacuum.
If system must be opened for service, evacuate system then break the vacuum with dry nitrogen
and replace all filter driers.
