3.1 Safety Precautions for Installing, Repairing and Moving Units

1. The uni ts hould not be installedin pl aces wi th hi gh en vironmental pH, hi gh v oltage fluctuations, vehicles and ships.

2. Do not touch the fins of the heat exchanger. Improper touch can cause damage or injury.

3. Do not mix any substances except the refrigerant when installing or moving the refrigerant circuit, and donot leave any airin the pipe. If air or ot her substances are mixed in the refrigerant circuit, the system pressure will rise and it will cause compressor explosion.

4. Do not charge the refrigerant other than the specified one when installing or moving the unit. Otherwise, it may cause problems such as poor operation, malfunction, mechanical fault, etc., and even cause major safety accident.

5. When moving or rep airing the unit, be sure to use the pressure gauge. First, perform the cooling oper ation, and then completely close the high pres sure side valve (liquid valve).
   When the pressure gauge reads 0~0.05MPa, completely close the low pressure side valve (air valve), and then immediately stop operation and cut off the power.

6. When recovering the refrigerant, it is necessary to ensure that the connection pipe can be disassembled only after the liquid valve and the air valve are completely closed and the power is tumed off. If disassembling the connection pipe when the power hasn’t been cut off and the compressor still running, the air will be mixed into the system and then the pressure will rise, which will cause compressor explosion.

7. When installing the unit, make sure that the connection pipe is securely connected before tuming on the compressor. If the compressor is turned on bef ore the connection of the connection pipe is completed and the shut-off valve is opened, the air will be mixed into the system and then the pressure will rise, which will cause compressor explosion.

8. Wiring between indoor unit and outdoor unit must be properly connected by adopting the specified electric wires and the terminals should be fixed well and not affected by external forces. Poor connection or fixing may cause a fire accident.

9. No connection is allowed in the middle of the wire. When the length of the connection wire is not enough, please contact the designated service store to re-equip a dedicated electric wire with sufficient length.

3.4 Pipeline Installation and Insulation
3.4.1 Pipeline Installation of Refrigeration System

1. Before welding the pipeline sealing cap, please make sure there’s no refrigerant in pipeline.
   If welding it directly, it may cause unnecessary property damage or personal injury.

2. Conform to the following principles during pipe connection: Connection pipeline should be as short as possible. The height difference between indoor and outdoor units should be as short as possible. Keep number of bends as little as possible. The radius of curvature should be as large as possible.

3. Weld the connection pipes between indoor and outdoor unit. Please strictly conform to the requirements for welding process. Rosin joints and pin holes are not allowable.

4. When laying the pipes, be careful not to deform them. The radius of bending parts should be more than 200mm. The pipes can’t be repeatedly bent or stretched, otherwise the material will get harden. Do not bend or stretch the pipe over three times at the same position.

5. Please use a torque wrench to connect union nut on the indoor unit. See the Fig. 3.4.1 as below.

1. Align the expansion end of copper pipe with the center of threaded joint. Tighten the flare nuts with your hands.
2. Tighten the flare nuts with torque wrench until you hear “click” sound.
3. Use sponge to wrap the connecting pipe and joints without thermal insulation and tie it up with plastic tape.
4. A mounting support for the connection pipe is required.
5. The curvature degree of connection pipe should not be small, otherwise the pipe might crack. Installation personnel should use tube bender when bending the pipe.
6. Don’t forcibly stretch the pi pe j oint, ot herwise indoor c apillary or ot her pipes might be damaged and lead to refrigerant leakage.

3.4.2 Installation of the manifold
The main function of manifold is used to shunt the refrigerant. Pay attention to the following points when installing it:

1. When installing the manifold, it should be as close as possible to the indoor unit to reduce the influence of the indoor unit manifold on the refrigerant distribution.
2. The manifold m ust be m atched wi th t he equi pment. The ot her pro ducts which are not specified by the manufacturer shall not be used.
3. Check the model before installing the manifold. Do not use it incorrectly.

1. Y-type manifold, see in Fig. 3.4.2(a). T- type manifold, See the Fig. 3.4.2(b)

2. Manifold has several pipe sections with different pipe size, which facilitates to match with various copper pipe. Use pipe cutter to cut in the middle of the pipe section with different pipe size. See the Fig. as below.3) Y-type manifold can be installed vertically or horizontally. Confirm the position and then weld the manifold pipe. See Fig. 3.4.4(a). T-type manifold must be installed horizontally with inclination, see the Fig. 3.4.4(b).![ALPICAIR 224 Commercial Air Conditioners

• parts24](https://manuals.plus/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/ALPICAIR-224 -Commercial-Air-Conditioners-parts24.jpg)4) The length of a straight pipe between two manifolds cannot be less than 500 mm.

5. The length of a straight pipe before the main pipe port of the manifold cannot be less than 500 mm.
6. The length of a straight pipe between the branch of the manifold and the IDU cannot be less than 500 mm. 3.4.3 Fixation of Manifold

4. Welding point 3
5. Welding point 2
6. Welding point 1

(2) Suspend the header t o the ceiling, and be s ure to install the T-type manifold so that the outlet pipes are horizontal at the lower side.(3) The branches of the manifold should be parallel and should not be overlapped.
(4) The liquid pipe and t he gas pipe should have the same pipe length and t he same laying circuit.
Since the structure of the manifold is relatively complicated, it must be rigorous and careful for heat preservation to ensure the tight insulation.
3.4.4 Refrigerant Pipe Insulation
(1) Insulation Material Selection

1. Insulation materials should be made of materials that can withstand pipeline temperature:
   For heat pump unit, liquid pipe should bear 70°C or above, and gas pipe should bear 120°C or above. For cooling only unit, both liquid pipe and gas pipe should bear 70°C or above.
   Example: heat -resistant pol yethylene f oam (re sistantt o1 20°C orm ore); f oamed polyethylene (resistant to 100 ‘C or more).
2. When the diameter of the copper pipe is more than or equal to ©15.9mm, the wall thickness of the insulation material is no less than 20mm; when the diameter of the copper pipe is less than 15.9mm, the wall thickness of the insulation material is no less than 15mm.
   (2) Pipeline Wrapping

1. To avoid condensate or water leakage on connecting pipe, the gas pipe and liquid pipe must be wrapped wi th thermal insulating material and adh esive pipe for insulation from the air.
2. Joints at indoor and outdoor units should be wrapped with insulating material and leave no clearance between pipe and wall. See Fig. 3.4.8.
3. When wrapping the tape, the later circle should cover half of the former one. Don’t wrap the tape so tightly, otherwise the insulation effect will be weakened.
4. After wrapping the pipe, adopt sealing material to completely fill the hole.

3.4.5 Support and Protection of Pipelines

1. The s uspended c onnection pi pes s hould be s upported, andt he distance bet ween the supports should not exceed 1m.
2. The outdoor pipeline should be protected against accidental damage. If the pipeline exceeds 1m, a gusset plate must be added to the pipeline.

3.6 Vacuum and Drying of Refrigeration System
3.6.1 Air Tightness Test
(1) Notices

1. The range of test pressure gauge for R410A system should be above 4.5MPa.
2. Record the pressure gauge readings, ambient temperature and test time.
3. Pressure correction: The temperature changes by 1 °C, and the pressure changes by 0.01MPa.
4. The pressure should remain unchanged to be qualified.
5. If it is necessary to maintain pressure for a long time, the pressure should be reduced to 0.5MPa or less. Long periods of high pressure can cause leakage at the weld site and there is safety hazard.
6. Before the air tightness test for the refrigerant pipe is completed, itis not allowed to conduct the insulation and wrapping work for any joints between the welding point and the bell mouth of indoor unit. Please increase pressure from the outdoor side pipes at the same time. It is forbidden to increase pressure from one side pipe:

NOTE!
All welding points can’t be heat-insulated and wrapped until the air tightness test is completed.
(2) Operation procedures for the air tightness test
When leaving the factory, gas pipe, liquid pipe and cut-off valve of outdoor unit have been closed. Please confirm it during installation.
Before the test, a small amount of lubricant oil required by the corresponding system should be smeared at the nut and the end of the pipe. Two wrenches should be used when fixing the nut.
It is not allowed to connect the pipeline of outdoor unit for test during the air tightness test.
The test pressure for R410A system is 4.15MPa. The air tightness test must use nitrogen as the medium and the nitrogen should be dried. Slowly increase the pressure in three steps:
Step 1: slowly increase the pressure to 0.5MPa, stay for 5 m inutes and c onduct the leakage inspection. You may find big leakage;
Step 2: slowly increase the pressure to 1.5MPa, stay for 5 minutes, conduct the air tightness inspection, and you may find small leakage;
Step 3: Slowly increase the pres sure for R410A system to 4.15MPa, stay for 5 m inutes and conduct the strength test. You may find small penetration or blisters. After increasing the pressure to the test pressure, hold the pressure for 24 ho urs, and obs erve whether the pressure drops. If the pressure does not drop, it is qualified.
3.6.2 Vacuum Drying

1. Selection requirements for vacuum pumps.

1. Can’t vacuumize different refrigerant systems with the same vacuum pump.
2. The ultimate vacuum of the vacuum pump should be -0.1Mpa.
3. The air displacement of the vacuum pump should be above 4L/s.
4. The accuracy of the vacuum pump should be above 0.02mmHg.
5. The system vacuum pump must have a check valve.

2. Operation procedures of vacuum drying.

1. Before vacuuming, confirm that the stop valves of gas pipe and liquid pipe are at closed status.
2. Connect the regulating valve and vacuum pump to the inspection joint of the gas pipe valve and liquid pipe valve valves with a filling tube.
3. Vacuumize it for 4 hours, and check if the vacuum degree reaches -0.1MPa or above. If not, there may be a leak. It needs to conduct the leakage test once again. If there is no leak, vacuumize it for another 2 hours.
4. If the vacuum degree cannot be maintained by two times of vacuums, you can confirm that there is water inside the pipeline under the condition that there is no leakage. At this time, the water should be removed by vacuum destruction. The specific method is: fill the pipeline with 0.0SMPa nitrogen gas, vacuumize it for 2 hours, and keep vacuum for 1 hour. If it still can’t reach the vacuum degree of -0.1MPa, repeat this operation until the water is drained.
5. After vacuuming, close the valve of the regulating valve and stop vacuuming for 1 hour. Confirm that the pressure of the regulating valve has not risen.

3. Notices for vacuum drying

1. Vacuumize it from both the gas pipe and liquid at the same time.2) When the vacuum pump is turned off to stop vacuuming, the valve should be closed at first and then cut off the power for the vacuum pump.
2. Keep the vacuum for 2 hours and confirm that the pressure of the vacuum gauge has not risen.

3.7 Additional refrigerant charging
3.7.1 Calculation Method of Adding Refrigerant
Total refrigerant charging amount R= Pipeline charging amount charging amount B of every module.
(1) Pipeline charging amount:
Pipeline charging amount Liquid pipe length x refrigerant charging amount of every 1m liquid pipe

Diameter of liquid pipe (mm)| Ф28.6| Ф25.4| Ф22.2| Ф19.05| Ф15.9| Ф12.7| Ф9.52| Ф6.35
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
kg/m| 0.680| 0.520| 0.350| 0.250| 0.170| 0.110| 0.054| 0.022

(2) ∑ Refrigerant charging amount B of every module

NOTES!

1. Rated capacity configuration rate of indoor unit and outdoor unit C = sum of indoor unit rated cooling capacity / sum of outdoor unit rated cooling capacity.
2. If all indoor units are all fresh air indoor units, the added refrigerant amount for each module B is Okg.
3. If all fresh air indoor units are mixed with the general VRF indoor units, charge the refrigerant according to the refrigerant-charging method of the general indoor unit.

For example:
Outdoor unit consists of one 28kW module and one 45kW module. Five 14kW duct type units are used as indoor units.
IDU/ODU rated capacity collocation ratio C= 14.0*5/ (28.0+45.0) =96%. The quantity of included IDUs is more than 4 sets. Please refer to the above table.
Additional refrigerant quantity B for 28kW module is 2.0 kg.
Additional refrigerant quantity B for 45kw module is 4 kg.
So, ∑ Refrigerant charging amount B of every module=2.0+4=6 kg.
Suppose the Pipeline charging amount Liquid pipe length x refrigerant charging amount of every 1m liquid pipe=20kg.
Total refrigerant charging amount R=20+6=26kg. For example 2:
Outdoor unit is a 45kW module and the indoor unit is a 45kW fresh air unit. The quantity (B) of refrigerant added to this module is Okg.
So, > Refrigerant charging amount B of every module= Okg.
Suppose the Pipeline charging amount Liquid pipe length x refrigerant charging amount of every 1m liquid pipe = 5kg.
Total refrigerant charging amount R = 5+0=5kg.
Modular combination of outdoor unit subjects to combinations that is currently available.
3.7.2 Refrigerant-charging Method
Refrigerant charging for multi VRF unit includes two parts: pre-charging and start-up charging.
(1) Pre-charging of refrigerant.
Step 1: Connect the pipe of high pressure gauge of the pressure gauge to the detection port of liquid pipe, the pipe of low pressure gauge to the detection port of gas pipe valve, and the pipe of intermediate pressure gauge to the vacuum pump. Put through the power for the vacuum pump to conduct the vacuum drying work.
Step 2: Once vacuum drying is completed, close the high pressure gauge valve and t he low pressure gauge valve. Disassemble the intermediate gauge pipe and the vacuum pump connection end, and then connect the refrigerant tank.
Step 3: Properly loosen the pi pe of intermediate gauge an d the connection end of pressure gauge, slightly open the refrigerant tank valve, and empty the pipe of intermediate gauge. After that, retighten the joint and open the refrigerant tank valve.
Step 4: If the refrigerant tank itself does not have a siphon, then the refrigerant tank needs to be inverted and placed on the electronic scale to record the current weight of m1; if the refrigerant tank itself has a siphon, the refrigerant tank should be kept in an upright state, and record the current weight of m1. Step 5: Open the high pressure gauge valve (the low pressure gauge valve remains closed), charge the system with refrigerant, and record the weight change of the refrigerant tank.
Step 6: When refrigerant tank is over and the refrigerant can’t be charged to the system any more, record the current weight of m2.
Step 7: Close the high pressure gauge valve and replace the refrigerant tank.
Step 8: Re-execute “step 3”.
Step 9: Repeat “step 5” and “step 6” to record the weight of m3 before charging refrigerant and the weight of m4 after charging refrigerant.
Step 10: If the refrigerant cannot be c ontinuously charged into the system and the calculated added am ount of refrigerant hasn ot been fullyc hargedi nto the system, record current total pre-charging amount:
m=(m1-m2) +(m3-m4) +…+(mn-1-mn)
Remained refrigerant for start-up charging m’=M-m
“M” is the calculated total required refrigerant-charging volume.
If the amount of pre-charging refrigerant “m” has reached the total added am ount of refrigerant for the system, close the refrigerant tank valve immediately to complete the refrigerant-charging work. Skip to the “step 11”.
Step 11: Complete the refrigerant-charging work and remove the pressure gauge, etc.
(2) Start-up charging of refrigerant.
Step 1: Close the refrigerant tank valve and reconnect the pipe of pressure gauge. Remove the pipe of low pressure gauge from the check port of gas pipe valve and connect it to the low pressure check valve (as shown in the Fig.). Step 2: Fully open the liquid pipe valve and gas pipe valve of each module.
Step 3: Make the complete unit enter into debugging operation by the debugging software or the main board of outdoor unit. (see the debugging part for the specific operation).
Step 4: When it comes to the procedure of charging refrigerant, open the refrigerant tank valve and charge the residual refrigerant “m’”.
Step 5: When all refrigerant has been charged, close the refrigerant tank valve and wait until the automatic debugging for the complete unit is finished.
Step 6: Once debugging is finished, disassemble the pressure gauge, etc., to complete the refrigerant-charging work.
3.7.3 Precautions on Refrigerant Leakage
(1) Personnel related to airc onditioning engi neering des ign and installation operators must abide by the safety requirement for preventing refrigerant leakage specified in local laws and regulations.
(2) Multi VRF unit adopts R410A refrigerant. When the unit is installed in the place where there are people, the refrigerant mustn ot exceed the maximum allowablec oncentration. Otherwise, p eople involved can be stifled by the refrigerant. For ex ample the maximum allowed concentration Ievel of refrigerant to a hum anly space for R410A according to the appropriate European Standard is limited to 0.44 kg/m°.
The maximum am ount of refrigerant(kg)in the system = The volume of the room (m3) xThe maximum allowed concentration level of refrigerant (kg/m?)
Total amount of refrigerant (kg) in the system = Total additional charging amount (kg) + Amount of refrigerant (kg) which is charged before leaving the factory (for the system consisting of multiple modules in parallel, the accumulative charge quantity of modules before leaving the factory is used)
Total amount of refrigerant (kg) in the system s the maximum amount of refrigerant (kg) in the system
(3) When the total amount of refrigerant in the system is more than the maximum amount of refrigerant, the cooling system should be designed again. In this case, the cooling system canal sob es eparatedi ntos everalc oolings ystems wi ths mall capacity, oradd corresponding ventilation measures or alarming display.1. Flow direction for refrigerant leakage.
2. Room for refrigerant leakage. Since the concentration of refrigerant is greater than that of air, pay attention to the spaces where the refrigerant may residue, for example, the basement.
