Piping installation

Preparing refrigerant piping

Piping and joints of a split system shall be made with permanent joints when inside an occupied space except joints directly connecting the piping to the indoor units. The piping and other pressure-containing parts shall be suitable for the refrigerant. Use phosphoric acid deoxidized seamless copper for refrigerant

Refrigerant piping diameter

Pipe outer diameter (mm)

Liquid piping| Gas piping
Ø6.4| Ø9.5

Refrigerant piping material

• Piping material: Phosphoric acid deoxidised seamless copper.
• Flare connections: Only use annealed material.
• Piping temper grade and thickness
  Outer diameter (Ø)| Temper grade| Thickness (t) (a)|
  ---|---|---|---
  6.4 mm (1/4″)| Annealed (O)| ≥0.8 mm| Ø

t

9.5 mm (3/8″)| Annealed (O)

Refrigerant piping insulation

• Use polyethylene foam as insulation material:
• with a heat transfer rate between 0.041 and 0.052 W/mK (0.035 and 0.045 kcal/mh°C)
• with a heat resistance of at least 120°C
• Insulation thickness
  Pipe outer diameter (Ø p )| Insulation inner diameter (Ø i )| Insulation thickness (t)
  ---|---|---
  6.4 mm (1/4″)| 8~10 mm| ≥10 mm
  9.5 mm (3/8″)| 10~14 mm| ≥13 mm

If the temperature is higher than 30°C and the humidity is higher than RH 80%, the thickness of the insulation materials should be at least 20 mm to prevent condensation on the surface of the insulation.

Refrigerant piping length and height difference

Connecting the refrigerant piping

• No brazing or welding on site for units with R32 refrigerant charge during shipment.
• During the installation of the refrigeration system, joining of parts with at least one part charged shall be performed taking into account the following requirements: inside occupied spaces, non-permanent joints are NOT allowed for R32 refrigerant except for site made joints directly connecting the indoor unit to piping. Site-made joints directly connecting piping to indoor units shall be of non-permanent type.

To connect the refrigerant piping to the outdoor unit

• Piping length. Keep field piping as short as possible.
• Piping protection. Protect the field piping against physical damage.

NOTICE

• Use the flare nut fixed to the unit.
• To prevent gas leakage, apply refrigeration oil ONLY to the inside of the flare. Use refrigeration oil for R32 (FW68DA).
•  Do NOT reuse joints

Connect the liquid refrigerant connection from the indoor unit to the liquid stop valve of the outdoor unit.

• Liquid stop valve
• Gas stop valve
• Service port

Checking the refrigerant piping

• ALWAYS use a recommended bubble test solution from your wholesaler.
• NEVER use soap water:
• Soap water may cause cracking of components, such as flare nuts or stop valve caps.
• Soap water may contain salt, which absorbs moisture that will freeze when the piping gets cold.
• Soap water contains ammonia which may lead to corrosion of flared joints (between the brass flare nut and the copper flare).
• Charge the system with nitrogen gas up to a gauge pressure of at least 200 kPa (2 bar). It is recommended to pressurize to 3000 kPa (30 bar) in order to detect small leaks.
• Check for leaks by applying the bubble test solution to all connections.
• Discharge all nitrogen gas.

To perform vacuum drying

• Vacuum the system until the pressure on the manifold indicates −0.1 MPa (−1 bar).
• Leave as-is for 4-5 minutes and check the pressure:
  If the pressure…| Then…
  ---|---
  Does not change| There is no moisture in the system. This procedure is finished.
  Increases| There is moisture in the system. Go to the next step.
• Vacuum the system for at least 2 hours to a manifold pressure of −0.1 MPa (−1 bar).
• After turning the pump OFF, check the pressure for at least 1 hour.
• If you do NOT reach the target vacuum or CAN NOT maintain the vacuum for 1 hour, do the following:
• Check for leaks again.
• Perform vacuum drying again.

Charging refrigerant

• This product contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Do NOT vent gases into the atmosphere. Refrigerant type: R32 Global warming potential (GWP) value: 675
• The refrigerant inside the unit is mildly flammable, but normally does NOT leak. If the refrigerant leaks in the room and comes in contact with fire from a burner, a heater, or a cooker, this may result in fire, or the formation of a harmful gas.
• Turn OFF any combustible heating devices, ventilate the room, and contact the dealer where you purchased the unit.
• Do NOT use the unit until a service person confirms that the part from which the refrigerant leaked has been repaired.

To determine the additional refrigerant amount

R=Additional charge (kg) (rounded in units of 0.01 kg)

To determine the complete recharge amount

INFORMATION
If a complete recharge is necessary, the total refrigerant charge is the factory refrigerant charge (see unit name plate) + the determined additional amount.

To charge additional refrigerant

• Only use R32 as refrigerant. Other substances may cause explosions and accidents.
• R32 contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Its global warming potential (GWP) value is 675. Do NOT vent these gases into the atmosphere.
• When charging refrigerant, ALWAYS use protective gloves and safety glasses

Prerequisite: Before charging refrigerant, make sure the refrigerant piping is connected and checked (leak test and vacuum drying).

• Connect the refrigerant cylinder to the service port.
• Charge the additional refrigerant amount.
• Open the gas stop valve

To fix the fluorinated greenhouse gases label

Fill in the label as follows:

• If a multilingual fluorinated greenhouse gases label is delivered with the unit (see accessories), peel off the applicable language and stick it on top of a.
• Factory refrigerant charge: see unit name plate
• Additional refrigerant amount charged
• Total refrigerant charge
• Quantity of fluorinated greenhouse gases of the total refrigerant charge expressed as tonnes CO2 equivalent.
• GWP = Global warming potential

NOTICE
Applicable legislation on fluorinated greenhouse gases requires that the refrigerant charge of the unit is indicated both in weight and CO2 equivalent. Formula to calculate the quantity in CO2 equivalent tonnes: GWP value of the refrigerant × total refrigerant charge [in kg] / 1000 Use the GWP value mentioned on the refrigerant charge label.
