INFORMATION FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER WITH R410A REFRIGERANT
• This room air conditioner adopts HFC refrigerant (R410A) which never destroys the ozone layer.
• Pay particular attention to the following points, though the basic installation procedure is same as that for R22 air
conditioners.
1As R410A has working pressure approximate 1.6 times as high as that of R22, some special tools and piping parts/
materials are required. Refer to the table below.
2Take sufficient care not to allow water and other contaminations to enter the R410A refrigerant during storage and
installation, since it is more susceptible to contaminations than R22.
3For refrigerant piping, use clean, pressure-proof parts/materials specifically designed for R410A. (Refer to 2. Refrigerant
piping.)
4Composition change may occur in R410A since it is a mixed refrigerant. When charging, charge liquid refrigerant to prevent
composition change.

New Specification Current Specification
The incompatible refrigeration oil easily separates from
refrigerant and is in the upper layer inside the suction muffler.
Raising position of the oil back hole enables to back the
refrigeration oil of the upper layer to flow back to the
compressor.
Since refrigerant and refrigeration oil are compatible each,
refrigeration oil goes back to the compressor through the
lower position oil back hole.

R410A has high pressures beyond the measurement range of existing
gauges.
Hose material have been changed to improve the pressure resistance.
Dedicated for HFC refrigerant.

Description
Clamp bar hole has been enlarged to reinforce the spring strength in the tool.
Provided for flaring work (to be used with R22 flare tool).
Provided to prevent the back flow of oil. This adapter enables you to use
vacuum pumps.
It is difficult to measure R410Awith a charging cylinder because the
refrigerant bubbles due to high pressure and high-speed vaporization

3.Refrigerant oil
Apply the special refrigeration oil (accessories: packed with indoor unit) to the flare and the union seat surfaces.
4.Air purge
• Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
Take care not to discharge refrigerant into the atmosphere during installation, reinstallation, or repairs to the refrigerant
circuit.
• Use the vacuum pump for air purging for the purpose of environmental protection.
5.Additional charge
For additional charging, charge the refrigerant from liquid phase of the gas cylinder.
If the refrigerant is charged from the gas phase, composition change may occur in the refrigerant inside the cylinder and the
outdoor unit. In this case, ability of the refrigeration cycle decreases or normal operation can be impossible. However,
charging the liquid refrigerant all at once may cause the compressor to be locked. Thus, charge the refrigerant slowly.
