MAINTENANCE
7. MAINTENANCE
The unit should be periodically inspected
according to the same items as those described in
the paragraph entitled "Test Running". In order to
ensure dependable operation and long life, the
following additional items should be given
particular attention.
Components
Compressor –No maintenance work is required
for hermetic compressors, if the cycle remains
sealed.
Air-Cooled Condenser –Inspect the condenser
and remove any accumulated dirt from the coil at
regular intervals. Other obstacles such as growing
grass and pieces of paper, which might restrict
airflow, should also be removed.
Electrical Equipment –Always pay careful
attention to working voltage, amperage and phase
balance. Check for faulty contact caused by
loosened terminal connections, oxidized contacts,
foreign matter, and others.
Control and Protective Devices –Do not
readjust the setting in the field unless the setting is
maintained at a point other than the point listed in
Table 3.
Field-Supplied Filter –Inspect for accumulated
dirt on the filter. Exchange or clean the filter if
required. The inspection interval may be
determined by the operating conditions for each
installation site.
Condensate Drain Pan and Drain Line –Inspect
and/or clean the condensate drain line at least
twice a year.
Evaporator Fan –Check for a loosened fan belt
and abnormal sounds.
Lubrication
Compressor –The compressors are charged at
the factory with the correct oil and the compressor
nameplate. It is not necessary to add oil, if the
cycle remains sealed.
Refrigerant Cycle
Strainer –Check for clogging after the time when
the cycle is opened.
Refrigerant Re-Charge –When the cycle requires
re-charging due to leakage or replacement of parts,
follow the procedures given below for two cases
(refer to Fig.11).
1. Connect a vacuum pump and a low-pressure
compound gauge to the high-pressure check
joint at the compressor discharge side, and
completely evacuate the cycle.
●
R410A is non-azeotrope refrigerant.
Therefore, when the refrigerant leaks,
its component’s weight percentage will
change. Instead of recharging
refrigerant, we should process the
system all over again.
●
When charging R410A refrigerant, be
sure the refrigerant being charged is in
its liquid state.
●
Too much or insufficient charging of
refrigerant will lead to compressor
failure.
●
Keep the refrigerant charging error at
about
±
0.1 kg.

▲CAUTION
2. Connect a charging cylinder to the check joint
illustrated in the figure, and charge refrigerant
in the cycle by weighing the charging cylinder.
Proper refrigerant charge is specified on the
unit nameplate or given in the figure.
3. Be sure to conduct the leakage
detection work.
Fan Motors and Bearings –All fan motors and
the evaporator fan shaft bearings are
pre-lubricated. Lubrication is not required.
