• Use pipes that meet the local standards.
Piping Materials/Radial Thickness
Use pipes made of phosphorus deoxidized copper. Since the operation pressure
of the units that use is higher than that of the units for use with R22, use
pipes with
at least the radial thickness specified in the chart below. (Pipes with a
radial thickness of 0.7mm or less may not be used.)

Air Tightness Test
No changes from the conventional method. Note that a refrigerant leakage
detector for R22 or R4 cannot detect leakage .
Items to
be strictly observed
-
Pressurize the equipment with nitrogen up to the design pressure and then judge the equipment’s air tightness, taking
temperature variations into account. -
When investigating leakage locations using a refrigerant, be sure to use
-
Ensure that is in a liquid state when charging.
Reasons
- Use of oxygen as the pressurized gas may cause an explosion.
- Charging with gas will lead the composition of the remaining refrigerant in the cylinder to change and then this refrigerant can not be used.
Vacuuming
-
Vacuum pump with check valve
A vacuum pump with a check valve is required to prevent the vacuum pump oil from flowing back into the refrigerant
circuit when the vacuum pump power is turned off (power failure). It is also possible to attach a check valve to the actual
vacuum pump afterwards. -
Standard degree of vacuum for the vacuum pump
Use a pump which reaches 65Pa or below after 5 minutes of operation.
In addition, be sure to use a vacuum pump that has been properly maintained and oiled using the specified oil. If the
vacuum pump is not properly maintained, the degree of vacuum may be too low. -
Required accuracy of the vacuum gauge
Use a vacuum gauge that can measure up to 650Pa. Do not use a general gauge manifold since it cannot measure a vacuum of 650Pa. -
Evacuating time
Evacuate the equipment for 1 hour after 650Pa has been reached.
After envacuating, leave the equipment for 1 hour and make sure the that vacuum is not lost. -
perating procedure when the vacuum pump is stopped
In order to prevent a backflow of the vacuum pump oil, open the relief valve on the vacuum pump side or loosen the charge hose to drawn in air before stopping operation. The same operating procedure should be used when using a vacuum pump with a check valve.
Charging Refrigerant
must be in a liquid state when charging.
Reasons:
R32 is a refrigerant (boiling point = -52 °C ) and can roughly be handled in
the same way as R however, be sure to fill the refrigerant from the liquid
side, for doing so from the gas side will somewhat change the composition of
the refrigerant in the cylinder.
Note
- In the case of a cylinder with a syphon, liquid is charged without turning the cylinder up side down. Check the
type of cylinder before charging.
Remedies to be taken in case of a refrigerant leak
When refrigerant leaks, additional refrigerant may be charged. {Add the
refrigerant from the liquid side)
Characteristics of the Conventional and the New Refrigerants
- Because is a simulated azeotropic refrigerant, it can be handled in almost the same mummer as a single refrigerant such as R22. Howerver, if the refrigerant is removed in the vapor phase, the composition of the refrigerant in the cylinder will somewhat change.
- Remove the refrigerant in the liquid phase. Additional refrigerant may be added in case of a refrigerant leak.
