Safety Pre autions
Pre autions for Handling Units for Use with R410A
Do not use the existing refrigerant piping
The old refrigerant and refrigerator oil in the existing piping
ontain a large amount of hlorine, whi h will ause the
refrigerator oil in the new unit to deteriorate.
R410A is a high-pressure refrigerant, and the use of the
existing piping may result in bursting.
Keep the inner and outer surfa es of the pipes lean and
free of ontaminants su h as sulfur, oxides, dust/dirt shaving
parti les,oils,and moisture.
Contaminants inside the refrigerant piping will ause the
refrigerant oil to deteriorate.
Use a va uum pump with a reverse-flow he k valve.
If other types of valves are used, the va uum pump oil will
flow ba k into the refrigerant y le and ause the refrigerator
oil to deteriorate.
Do not use the following tools that have been used with the
onventional refrigerants. Prepare tools that are for ex lusive
use with R410A.
(Gauge manifold, harging hose, gas leak dete tor,
reverse-flow he k valve, refrigerant harge base,va uum
gauge, and refrigerant re overy equipment.)
If refrigerant and/or refrigerant oil left on these tools are
mixed in with R410, or if water is mixed with R410A, it will
ause the refrigerant to deteriorate.
Sin e R410A does not ontain hlorine, gas-leak dete tors
for onventional refrigerators will not work.
Store the piping to be used during installation indoors, and
keep both ends of the piping sealed until immediately before
brazing.(keep elbows and other joints wrapped in plasti .)
If dust, dirt, or water enters the refrigerant y le, it may
ause the oil in the unit to deteriorate or may ause the
ompressor to malfun tion.
A large amount of mineral oil will ause the refrigerating
ma hine oil to deteriorate.
Use a small amount of ester oil, ether oil, or alkylbenzene
to oat flares and flange onne tions.
Use liquid refrigerant to harge the system.
Charge the unit with gas refrigerant will ause the refrigerant
in the ylinder to hange its omposition and will lead to
a drop in performan e
Do not use a harging ylinder.
The use of harging ylinder will hange the omposition
of the refrigerant and lead to power loss.
Exer ise spe ial are when handling the tools.
An introdu tion of foreign obje ts su h as dust, dirt or
water into the refrigerant y le will ause the refrigerating
ma hine oil to deteriorate.
Only use R410A refrigerant.
The use of refrigerants ontaining hlorine(i.e. R22) will
ause the refrigerant to deteriorate.
Before Installing the Unit
Do not install the unit in a pla e where there is a possibility
of flammable gas leak.
Leaked gas a umulated around the unit may start a fire.
Do not use the unit to preserve food, animals, plants, artifa ts,
or for other spe ial purposes.
The unit is not designed to provide adepuate onditions
to preserve the quality of these items.
Do not use the unit in an unusual environment
The use of the unit in the presen e of a large amount of
oil, steam, a id, alkaline solvents or spe ial types of sprays
may lead to a remarkable drop in performan e and/or
malfun tion and presents a risk of ele tri sho k, smoke,
or fire.
The presen e of organi solvents, orroded gas (su h as
ammonia,sulfur ompounds,and a id may ause gas or
water leak.)
When installing the unit in a hospital, take ne essary measures
against noise.
High-frequen y medi al equipment may interfere with the
normal operation of the air onditioning unit or the air
onditioning unit may interfere with the normal operation
of the medi al equipment
When humidity level ex eeds 80% or when the drainage
system is logged, indoor units may drip water.
Installation of a entralized drainage system for the outdoor
unit may also need to be onsidered to prevent water drips
from the outdoor units.
Do not pla e the unit on or over things that may not get wet.
