6 Air purging

Airtight Test

After completing the refrigerant piping work, perform an airtight test. Connect a nitrogen gas cylinder and pressurize the pipes with nitrogen gas as follows to conduct the airtight test.

Low pressure gauge

High pressure gauge

Charge port

VL VH Gauge manifold

CAUTION
Never use oxygen, flammable gas, or noxious gas for the airtight test.

Pressure reducing valve

Nitrogen gas

Gas leak check
Step 1….Pressurize to 0.5 MPa (5 kg/cm2G) for 5 minutes or longer. Step 2….Pressurize to 1.5 MPa (15 kg/cm2G) for 5 minutes or longer. Major leaks can be discovered. Step 3….Pressurize to 4.15 MPa (42 kg/cm2G) for 24 hours. ……………. Micro leaks can be discovered. (However, note that when the ambient temperature differs during pressurization and after 24 hours, the pressure will change by approximately 0.01 MPa (0.1 kg/cm2G) per 1°C, so this should be compensated.)
If the pressure drops in steps 1 through 3, check the connections for leakage. Check for leaks with foaming liquid, etc., take steps to fix the leaks such as brazing the pipes again and tightening the flare nuts, and then perform the airtight test again.

• After the airtight test is completed, evacuate the nitrogen gas.

Air purge
With respect to the preservation of the terrestrial environment, adopt “Vacuum pump” to purge air (Evacuate air in the connecting pipes) when installing the unit. Do not discharge the refrigerant gas to the
atmosphere to preserve the terrestrial environment. Use a vacuum pump to discharge the air (nitrogen,
etc.) that remains in the set. If air remains, the capacity may decrease.
For the vacuum pump, be sure to use one with a backflow preventer so that the oil in the pump does not backflow into the pipe of the air conditioner when the pump stops. (If oil in the vacuum pump is put in an air conditioner including R32, it may cause trouble with the refrigeration cycle.)

Close Handle Low completely.
Turn OFF the vacuum pump.
Leave the vacuum pump as it is for 1 or 2 minutes, and check that the indicator of the compound pressure gauge
does not return.

Open the valve stem or valve handle fully. (First, at liquid side, then gas side)
Disconnect the charge hose from the charge port.
Tighten the valve and caps of the charge port securely.
1: Use the vacuum pump, vacuum pump adapter, and gauge manifold correctly referring to the manuals supplied with each tool before using them. Check that the vacuum pump oil is filled up to the specified line of the oil gauge.
2: When air is not charged, check again whether the connecting port of the discharge hose, which has a projection to push the valve core, is firmly connected to the charge port.

Pump down process
1. Turn off the Air Conditioner system. 2. Connect the charge hose from the manifold valve
to the service port of the packed valve at gas side. 3. Turn on the Air Conditioner system in cooling
operation more than 10 minutes. 4. Check the operating pressure of the system should
be normal value. (Ref. with product specification) 5. Release the valve rod cap of both service valves. 6. Use the Hexagon wrench to turning the valve rod of Liquid side fully close. (*Make sure no entering air into the system) 7. Continue operate Air Conditioner system until and the gauge of manifold dropped into the range of 0.5 – 0 kgf/cm2 8. Use the Hexagon wrench to turning the valve rod of Gas side fully close. And turn off the Air Conditioner system immediately thereafter. 9. Remove the gauge manifold from the service port of the packed valve. 10. Securely tighten the valve rod cap to the both service valves.

How to open the valve
Fully open the valves of the outdoor unit. (First fully open the valve on the liquid side, and then fully open the valve on the gas side.) Do not open or close the valves when the ambient
temperature is -20°C or less. Doing so may damage the valve O-rings and result in refrigerant leakage.
Liquid side
Open the valve with a 4 mm hexagon wrench. Gas side Open the valve with a 5 mm hexagon wrench.
Valve handling precautions Open the valve stem until it strikes the stopper.

• Securely tighten the cap with a torque wrench.

Gas leak inspection
Use a leak detector manufactured specially for HFC refrigerant (R32, R410A, R134a, etc.) to perform the R32 gas leak inspection.

• Leak detectors for conventional HCFC refrigerant (R22, etc.) cannot be used, as the sensitivity drops to approximately 1/40 when used for HFC refrigerant.
  · R32 has a high working pressure, so failure to perform the installation work properly may result in gas leaks such as when the pressure rises during operation. Be sure to perform leak tests on the piping connections.

Outdoor unit inspection locations

Insulating the Pipes
· The temperatures at both the liquid side and gas side will be low during cooling so in order to prevent condensation, be sure to insulate the pipes at both of these sides.
· Insulate the pipes separately for the liquid side and gas side.
· Insulate the branch pipes by following the instructions in the installation manual provided with the branch pipe kit.

REQUIREMENT
Be sure to use an insulating material which can withstand temperatures above 120°C for the gas side pipe since this pipe will become very hot during heating operations.

8 Earthing
WARNING
Be sure to connect the earth wire. (grounding work) Incomplete grounding may cause an electric shock.
Connect the earth wire properly following applicable technical standards. Connecting the earth wire is essential to preventing electric shock and to reducing noise and electrical charges on the outdoor unit surface due to the high-frequency wave generated by the frequency converter (inverter) in the outdoor unit. If you touch the charged outdoor unit without an earth wire, you may experience an electric shock.
9 Finishing
After the refrigerant pipe, inter-unit wires, and drain pipe have been connected, cover them with finishing tape and clamp them to the wall with off- the-shelf support brackets or their equivalent. Keep the power wires and Indoor / Outdoor connecting wires off the valve on the gas side or pipes that have no heat insulator.
10Test run
Turn on the leakage breaker at least 12 hours before starting a test run to protect the compressor during startup. To protect the compressor, power is supplied from the 380-415 VAC input to the unit to preheat the compressor.
Check the following before starting a test run: That all pipes are connected securely without leaks. That the valve is open. If the compressor is operated with the valve closed, the outdoor unit will become overpressurized, which may damage the compressor or other components. If there is a leak at a connection, air can be sucked in and the internal pressure further increases, which may cause a burst or injury.
Operate the air conditioner in the correct procedure as specified in the Owner’s Manual.
11 Annual maintenance
For an air conditioning system that is operated on a regular basis, cleaning and maintenance of the indoor / outdoor units are strongly recommended. As a general rule, if an indoor unit is operated for about 8 hours daily, the indoor / outdoor units will need to be cleaned at least once every 3 months. This cleaning and maintenance should be carried out by a qualified service person. Failure to clean the indoor / outdoor units regularly will result in poor performance, icing, water leaking and even compressor failure.

12 Air conditioner operating conditions

For proper performance, operate the air conditioner under the following temperature conditions:

Cooling operation Heating operation

Dry bulb temp. Wet bulb temp.

­15 °C to 46 °C ­15 °C to 15 °C

If air conditioner is used outside of the above conditions, safety protection may work.

13 Functions to be implemented locally

Handling existing pipe
When using the existing pipe, carefully check for the following: Wall thickness (within the specified range) Scratches and dents Water, oil, dirt, or dust in the pipe Flare looseness and leakage from welds Deterioration of copper pipe and heat insulator
Cautions for using existing pipe
Do not reuse a flare nut to prevent gas leaks. Replace it with the supplied flare nut and then process it to a flare.
Blow nitrogen gas or use an appropriate means to keep the inside of the pipe clean. If discolored oil or much residue is discharged, wash the pipe.
Check welds, if any, on the pipe for gas leaks.

When the pipe corresponds to any of the following, do not use it. Install a new pipe instead. The pipe has been opened (disconnected from indoor unit or outdoor unit) for a long period. The pipe has been connected to an outdoor unit that does not use refrigerant R32, R410A. The existing pipe must have a wall thickness equal to or larger than the following thicknesses.

Reference outside diameter (mm)
Ø9.5
Ø15.9
Ø19.0

Wall thickness (mm)
0.8 1.0 1.0

Do not use any pipe with a wall thickness less than these thicknesses due to insufficient pressure capacity.

[1] Existing piping
Work instructions
The existing R22 and R410A piping can be reused for our digital inverter R32 product installations.
WARNING
Confirming the existence of scratches or dents on the existing pipes and confirming the reliability of the pipe strength are conventionally referred to the local site. If the specified conditions can be cleared, it is possible to update existing R22 and R410A pipes to those for R32 models.

Basic conditions needed to reuse existing pipes
Check and observe the presence of three conditions in the refrigerant piping works. 1. Dry (There is no moisture inside of the pipes.) 2. Clean (There is no dust inside of the pipes.) 3. Tight (There are no refrigerant leaks.)
Restrictions for use of existing pipes
In the following cases, the existing pipes should not be reused as they are. Clean the existing pipes or exchange them with new pipes. 1. When a scratch or dent is heavy, be sure to use new
pipes for the refrigerant piping works. 2. When the existing pipe thickness is thinner than the
specified “Pipe diameter and thickness,” be sure to use new pipes for the refrigerant piping works. The operating pressure of R32 is high. If there is
a scratch or dent on the pipe or a thinner pipe is used, the pressure strength may be inadequate, which may cause the pipe to break in the worst case. * Pipe diameter and thickness (mm)

R32/ Thickness R410A 0.8
R22

Ø9.5 Ø12.7 Ø15.9 Ø19.0 0.8 0.8 1.0 1.0

In case the pipe diameter is Ø12.7 mm or less and the thickness is less than 0.7 mm, be sure to use new pipes for the refrigerant piping works.
3. When the outdoor unit was left with the pipes disconnected, or the gas leaked from the pipes and the pipes were not repaired and refilled.
There is the possibility of rain water or air, including moisture, entering the pipe.

­ 20 ­

4. When refrigerant cannot be recovered using a refrigerant recovery unit. There is the possibility that a large quantity of dirty oil or moisture remains inside the pipes.
5. When a commercially available dryer is attached to the existing pipes. There is the possibility that copper green rust has been generated.
6. When the existing air conditioner is removed after refrigerant has been recovered. Check if the oil is judged to be clearly different from normal oil. The refrigerator oil is copper rust green in color: There is the possibility that moisture has mixed with the oil and rust has been generated inside the pipe. There is discolored oil, a large quantity of residue, or a bad smell. A large quantity of shiny metal dust or other wear residue can be seen in the refrigerant oil.
7. When the air conditioner has a history of the compressor failing and being replaced. When discolored oil, a large quantity of residue, shiny metal dust, or other wear residue or mixture of foreign matter is observed, trouble will occur.
8. When temporary installation and removal of the air conditioner are repeated such as when leased etc.
9. If the type of refrigerator oil of the existing air conditioner is other than the following oil (Mineral oil), Suniso, Freol-S, MS (Synthetic oil), alkyl benzene (HAB, Barrel-freeze), ester series, PVE only of ether series. The winding-insulation of the compressor may deteriorate.
NOTE The above descriptions are results have been confirmed by our company and represent our views on our air conditioners, but do not guarantee the use of the existing pipes of air conditioners that have adopted R32 in other companies.

Are there scratches or dents on the existing pipes? YES
NO NO
Is it possible to operate the existing air conditioner?

Existing pipes: Cannot be used. Use new pipes.

YES
After the existing air conditioner is operated in cooling mode for approx. 30 minutes or longer,* recover the refrigerant.
Refer to “13 Refrigerant recovery”. For cleaning the pipes and recovering oil
Refrigerant recovery: Pump down method

Nitrogen gas pressure 0.5 MPa

Remove the existing air conditioner from the piping and carry out flushing (nitrogen pressure 0.5 MPa) to remove any remains inside of the pipe.
Was largely discolored oil or a large quantity of remains discharged? (When the oil
deteriorates, the color of the oil changes to a muddy or black color.)
NO

(If there is discharge of remains, it is judged that a large quantity of remains are present.)

YES

Clean the pipes or use new pipes.

Connect the indoor / outdoor units to the existing pipe. Use a flare nut attached to the main unit for the
indoor / outdoor units. (Do not use the flare nut of the existing pipe.) Re- machine the flare machining size to size for R32.
In case that the gas pipe Ø19 mm is used for the outdoor unit of GV110 (4 HP) or higher : (Our R32 model 4 to 5 HP gas pipe size is Ø15.9 mm)

Warnings on refrigerant leakage

Check of concentration limit
The room in which the air conditioner is to be installed requires a design that in the event of refrigerant gas leaking out, its concentration will not exceed a set limit. The refrigerant R32 which is used in the air conditioner is safe, without the toxicity or combustibility of ammonia, and is not restricted by laws to be imposed which protect the ozone layer. However, since it contains more than air, it poses the risk of suffocation if its concentration should rise excessively. Suffocation from leakage of R32 is almost non-existent. If a conditioner system is to be installed in a small room, select a suitable model and installation procedure so that if the refrigerant accidentally leaks out, its concentration does not reach the limit (and in the event of an emergency, measures can be made before injury can occur). In a room where the concentration may exceed the limit, create an opening with adjacent rooms, or install mechanical ventilation combined with a gas leak detection device. The concentration is as given below.

Total amount of refrigerant (kg) Min. volume of the indoor unit installed room (m3)

Concentration limit (kg/m3)

Refrigerant Concentration Limit shall be in accordance with local regulations.
