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 condition-
ers.
As 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.
Take sufficient care not to allow water and other contaminations to enter the R410A refrigerant during storage and installa-
tion, since it is more susceptible to contaminations than R22.
For refrigerant piping, use clean, pressure-proof parts/materials specifically designed for R410A. (Refer to 2. Refrigerant pip-
ing.)
Composition change may occur in R410A since it is a mixed refrigerant. When charging, charge liquid refrigerant to prevent
composition change.

Compressor
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 with
each other, refrigeration oil goes back to the compressor
through the lower position oil back hole.

1. Tools dedicated for the air conditioner with R410A refrigerant
The following tools are required for R410A refrigerant. Some R22 tools can be substituted for R410A tools.
R410A tools Can R22 tools
be used? Description
Gauge manifold No R410A has high pressures beyond the measurement range of existing gaug-
es.
Charge hose No Hose material have been changed to improve the pressure resistance.
Gas leak detector No Dedicated for HFC refrigerant.
Torque wrench Yes 1/4 in. and 3/8 in.
No 1/2 in. and 5/8 in.
Flare tool Yes Clamp bar hole has been enlarged to reinforce the spring strength in the tool.
Flare gauge New Provided for flaring work (to be used with R22 flare tool).
Vacuum pump adapter New Provided to prevent the back flow of oil. This adapter enables you to use vac-
uum pumps.
Electronic scale for refrigerant
charging New It is difficult to measure R410A with a charging cylinder because the refriger- ant bubbles due to high pressure and high-speed vaporization
No: Not Substitutable for R410A Yes: Substitutable for R410A
2. Refrigerant piping
Specifications
Use the copper or copper-alloy seamless pipes for refrigerant that meet the following specifications.

Flaring work and flare nut
Flaring work for R410A pipe differs from that for R22 pipe.
For details of flaring work, refer to Installation manual “FLARING WORK”.

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 cir-
cuit.
• 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, capacity 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.
