conditioners are loaded cannot be sealed. Anti-static measures shall be taken
for the transporting vehicles if necessary. Meanwhile, during the
transporting, loading and unloading of air conditioners, necessary protective
measures shall be taken, to protect the air conditioner from being damaged.
During removal of the compressor or clearing of the compressor oil, it shall
be guaranteed that the compressor is vacuumized to a proper level, to ensure
no residual flammable refrigerant is left inside the lubricating oil. The
vacuumizing shall be completed before the compressor is delivered back to the
manufacturer.
The vacuumizing can only be accelerated by heating the compressor housing through electrical heating. Safety shall be guaranteed when the oil is discharged from the system.

-
R32 is a high-pressure refrigerant, and the use of the existing piping may result in bursting.
Keep the inner and outer surfaces of the pipes clean and free of contaminants such as sulfur, oxides, dust/dirt shaving particles, oils, and moisture. -
Contaminants inside the refrigerant piping will cause the refrigerant oil to deteriorate.
Use a vacuum pump with a reverse-flow check valve.
-
If other types of valves are used, the vacuum pump oil will flow back into the refrigerant cycle and cause the refrigerator oil to deteriorate.
Do not use the following tools that have been used with the conventional refrigerants. Prepare tools that are for exclusive use with R32 (Gauge manifold, charging hose, gas leak detector, reverse-flow check valve, refrigerant charge base, vacuum gauge, and refrigerant recovery equipment.) -
If refrigerant and/or refrigerant oil left on these tools are mixed in with R32 , or if water is mixed with R32, it will cause the refrigerant to deteriorate.
-
Since R32 does not contain chlorine, gas-leak detectors for conventional HFC refrigerants will not work Store the piping to be used during installation indoors, andkeep both ends of the piping sealed until immediately before brazing. (keep elbows and other joints wrapped in plastic.)
-
If dust, dirt, or water enters the refrigerant cycle, it may cause the oil in the unit to deteriorate or may cause the compressor to malfunction.
Use a small amount of ester oil, ether oil, or alkylbenzene to coat flares and flange connections. -
A large amount of mineral oil will cause the refrigerating machine oil to deteriorate.
Use liquid refrigerant to charge the system. -
Charge the unit with gas refrigerant will cause the refrigerant in the cylinder to change its composition and will lead to a dron in performance.
-
Do not use a charging cylinder.
-
The use of charging cylinder will change the composition of the refrigerant and lead to power loss.
Exercise special care when handling the tools. -
An introduction of foreign objects such as dust, dirt or water into the refrigerant cycle will cause the refrigerating machine oil to deteriorate.

Read Before Installation
Items to Be Checked
- Verify the type of refrigerant used by the unit to be serviced. Refrigerant Type: R32
- Check the symptom exhibited by the unit to be serviced. Look in this service handbook for symptoms relating to the refrigerant cycle.
- Be sure to carefully read the safety precautions at the beginning of this document.
- If there is a gas leak or if the remaining refrigerant is exposed to an open flame, a noxious gas hydrofluoric acid may form. Keep workplace well ventilated.
CAUTION
- Install new pipes immediately after removing old ones to keep moisture out of the refrigerant circuit.
- Chloride in some types of refrigerants such as R22 will cause the refrigerating machine oil to deteriorate.
Necessary Tools and Materials
Prepare the following tools and materials necessary for installing and
servicing the unit.
Necessary tools for use with R32 (Adaptability of tools that are for use with
R22 and R407C).
- To be used exclusively with R32 (Not to be used if used with R22 or R407C)
- Tools and materials that may be used with R32 with some restrictions
- Tools and materials that are used with R22 or R407C that can also be used with R32
- Tool and materials that must not used with R32
Tools for R32 must be handled with special care, and keep moisture and dust from entering the cycle.
Piping Materials
Types of Copper Pipes (Reference)
- 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 R32 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.)
- Although it was possible to use type-O for pipes with a size of up to $ 19.05(3/4″) with conventional refrigerants, use type- 1/2H pipes for units that use R32 (Type-O pipes may be used if the pipe size is ®19.05 and the radial thickness is 1.2t.)
- The table shows the standards in Japan. Using this table as a reference, choose pipes that meet the local standards.
Flare Machining (type-O and OL only)
The flare machining dimensions for units that use R32 is larger than those for
units that use R22 in order to increase air tightness.
Flare Machining Dimension(mm)
If a clutch type flare tool is used to machine flares on units that use R32, make the protruding part of the pipe between 1.0 and 1.5mm. Copper pipe gauge for adjusting the length of pipe protrusion is useful.
Flare Nut
Type-2 flare nuts instead of type-1 nuts are used to increase the strength.
The size of some of the flare nuts have also been changed.
Flare nut dimension(mm)
The table shows the standards in Japan. Using this table as a reference, choose pipes that meet the local standards.
Air Tightness Test
No changes from the conventional method. Note that a refrigerant leakage
detector for R22 or R410A cannot detect R32 leakaqe.
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 R32.
- Ensure that R32 is in a liquid state when charging.
Reasons:
- Use of oxygen as the pressurized gas may cause an explosion.
- Charging with R32 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. -
Operating 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
R32 must be in a liquid state when charging.
Reasons:
R32 is a HFC refrigerant (boiling point = -52 C) and can roughly be handled in
the same way as R410A; 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 R32 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 R32 is a simulated azeotropic refrigerant, it can be handled in almost the same mammer 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.
-
Accessories
“Edging” for protection of electrical wires from an opening edge. -
Selection of the place of installation
Select the place of installation satisfying the following conditions and, at the same time, obtain a consent from the client or user.
-
Place where air circulates.
-
Place free from heat radiation from other heat sources.
-
Place where drain water may be discharged.
-
Place where noise and hot air may not disturb the neighborhood.
-
Place where there is not heavy snowfall in the winter time.
-
Place where obstacles do not exist near the air inlet and air outlet .
-
Place where the air outlet may not be exposed to a strong wind.
-
Place surrounded at four sides are not suitable for installation. A 1m or more of overhead space is needed for the unit.
-
Avoid mounting guide-louvers to the place where short-circuit is a possibility.
-
When installing several units, secure sufficient suction space to avoid short circuiting.
Open space requirement around the unit
Note :
-
Fix the parts with screws.
-
Don’t intake the strong wind directly tc the outlet air-flow hole.
-
A one meter distance should be kept from the unit top.
-
Don’t block the surroundings of the unit with sundries.
-
If the outdoor unit is installed in a place that is exposed to the wind, install the unit so that the outlet grid is NOT pointing in the direction of the wind.
-
- Installation of outdoor unit
Fix the unit on the foundation in a proper way according to the condition of the installation place, referring to the following information.
- Give enough room for the concrete foundation to fix by anchor bolts.
- Place the concrete foundation deep enough.
- Installation dimension(Unit:mm)
-
Piping size
- Install the removed flare nuts to the pipes to be connected, then flare the pipes.
Connection of pipes
-
When bending the pipe, be careful not to crush it. To prevent breaking of the pipe, avoid sharp bends.
Bend the pipe with a radius of curvature of 40 mm or over. -
Connecting the pipe of gas side first makes working easier.
-
The connection pipe is specialized for K32.
Be careful that matters, such as wastes of sands,water, etc. shall not enter the pipe.
CAUTION
The standard pipe length is Cm. If the pipe has to be lengthened, the
refrigerant should be charged,according to D g/m. But the charge of
refrigerant must be conducted by professional air conditioner engineer. Before
adding additional refrigerant, perform air purging from the refrigerant pipes
and indoor unit using a vacuum pump,then charge additional refrigerant.
After finishing connection of refrigerant pipe, it shall perform air tightness test.
-
The air tightness test adopts nitrogen tank to give pressure according to the pipe connection mode as the following figure shown.
-
The gas and liquid valve are all in close state. In order to prevent the nitrogen entering the circulation system of outdoor unit, tighten the valve rod before giving pressure (both gas and liquid valve rods).
- Pressurize for over 3 minutes at 0.3MPa (3.0 kg/cm g).
- Pressurize for over 3 minutes at 1.5MPa (15 kg/cm g). A large leakage will be found.
- Pressurize for about 24 hours at 3.0MPa (30 kg/cm’g). A small leakage will be found.
-
Check if the pressure drops
If the pressure does not drop, then pass.
If the pressure drops, then please check the leaking point.
When pressurizing for 24 hours, a variation of 1°C in the ambient temperature will cause a variation of 0.01MPa(0.1kg/cm’g) in pressure. It shall be corrected during test. -
Checking the leaking point
In 1) to 3) steps, if the pressure drops, check the leakage in each joint by listening, touching and using soap water etc. to identify the leaking point. After confirming the leaking point, welding it again or tighten the nut tightly again.
Piping vavuum method: to use vacuum pump
-
Detach the service port’s cap of 3-way valve, the valve rod’s cap for 2-way valve and 3-way valves, and connect the service port into the projection of charge hose (low) for gaugemanifold. Then connect the projection of charge hose (center) for gaugemanifold into vacuum pump.
-
Open the handle at low in gaugemanifold, and operate vacuum pump. If the scale-moves of gause (low) reach vacuum condition in a moment, check the step 1 again.
-
Vacuumize for over 15min. check the level gauge which should read – 0.1MPa (-76 cm Hg) at low pressure side. After the completion of evacuation, close the handle ‘Lo’ in the vacuum pump. Check the condition of the scale and hold it for 1-2min. If the scale-moves back in spite of tightening, make flaring work again, then return to the beginning of the step 3.
-
Open the valve for the 2-way valve to an angle of anticlockwise 90 degree.
After 6 seconds, close the 2-way valve and make the inspection of gas leakge. -
No gas leakage? In case of gas leakage, tighten parts of pipe connection. If leakage stops, then proceed the step 6. If it does not stop gas leakage, discharge whole refrigerants from the service port. After flaring work again, fill up prescribed refrigerant from the gas cylinder.
-
Detach the charge hose from the service port, open 2-way valve and 3-way.
Turn the valve rod anticlockwise until hitting lightly. -
To prevent the gas leakage, turn the service ports cap, the valve rodis cap for 2-way valve and 3-way’s a little more than the point where the torque increases suddenly.
CAUTION:
If the refrigerant of the air conditioner leaks, it is necessary to make
all the refrigerant out. Evacuate first, then charge the liquid refrigerant
into air conditioner according to the amount marked on the nameplate.
