Refrigerant Piping Connection

  • NOTE: For quick-connect models, please refer to the internal machine manual for the installation method of the connecting pipe.
  • The external machine manual does not repeat the instructions.
  • When connecting refrigerant piping, do not let substances or gases other than the specified refrigerant enter the unit.
  • The presence of other gases or substances will lower the unit’s capacity, and can cause abnormally high pressure in the refrigeration cycle. This can cause explosion and injury.

Connection Instructions Refrigerant Piping

  • CAUTION
  • DO NOT install the connecting pipe until both indoor and outdoor units have been installed.
  • Insulate both the gas and liquid piping to prevent water leakage.

Step 1: Cut pipes

When preparing refrigerant pipes, take extra care to cut and flare them properly. This will ensure efficient operation and minimize the need for future maintenance.

  1. Measure the distance between the indoor and outdoor units.
  2. Using a pipe cutter, cut the pipe a little longer than the measured distance.
  3. Make sure that the pipe is cut at a perfect 90° angle.

DO NOT DEFORM PIPE WHILE CUTTING

Be extra careful not to damage, dent, or deform the pipe while cutting. This will drastically reduce the heating efficiency of the unit.

Step 2: Remove burrs.

Burrs can affect the air-tight seal of the refrigerant piping connection. They must be completely removed.

  1. Hold the pipe at a downward angle to prevent burrs from falling into the pipe.
  2. Using a reamer or deburring tool, remove all burrs from the cut section of the pipe.

Step 3: Flare pipe ends

Proper flaring is essential to achieve an airtight seal.

  1. After removing burrs from the cut pipe, seal the ends with PVC tape to prevent foreign materials from entering the pipe.
  2. Sheath the pipe with insulating material.
  3. Place flare nuts on both ends of the pipe.
    • Make sure they are facing in the right direction because you can’t put them on or change their direction after flaring.
  4. Remove PVC tape from the ends of the pipe when ready to perform flaring work.
  5. A clamp flare forms on the end of the pipe. The end of the pipe must extend beyond the flare form.
  6. Place flaring tool onto the form.
  7. Turn the handle of the flaring tool clockwise until the pipe is fully flared. Flare the pipe in accordance with the dimensions.

PIPING EXTENSION BEYOND FLARE FORM

Pipe gauge| Tightening torque| Flare dimension (A) (Unit: inch/mm)| Flare shape
---|---|---|---
Min.| Max.
Ø 6.4| 18-20 N.m {183-204 kgf. cm)| 0.33/8.4| 0.34/8.7|
(Z 9.5| 25-26 N.m {255-265 kgf.cm)| 0.52/13.2| 0.53/13.5
(Z 12.7| 35-36 N.m {357-367 kgf.cm)| 0.64/16.2| 0.65/16.5
(Z 15.9| 45-47 N.m {459-480 kgf.cm)| 0.76/19.2| 0.78/19.7
Ø 19.1| 65-67 N.m (663-683 kgf.cm)| 0.91/23.2| 0.93/23.7
Ø 22| 75-85N.m {765-867 kgf.cm)| 1.04/26.4| 1.06/26.9

Remove the flaring tool and flare form, then inspect the end of the pipe for cracks and even flaring.

Step 4: Connect pipes

Connect the copper pipes to the indoor unit first, then connect it to the outdoor unit. You should first connect the low-pressure pipe, then the high- pressure pipe.

  1. When connecting the flare nuts, apply a thin coat of refrigeration oil to the flared ends of the pipes.
  2. Align the center of the two pipes that you will connect.
  3. Tighten the flare nut as tightly as possible by hand.
  4. Using a spanner, grip the nut on the unit tubing.
  5. While firmly gripping the nut, use a torque wrench to tighten the flare nut according to the torque values in above table.
    • NOTE: Use both a spanner and a torque wrench when connecting or disconnecting pipes to/from the unit.
    • CAUTION
    • Ensure to wrap insulation around the piping.
    • Direct contact with the bare piping may result in burns or frostbite.
    • Make sure the pipe is properly connected.
    • Over tightening may damage the bell mouth and under tightening may lead to leakage.
    • NOTE ON MINIMUM BEND RADIUS Carefully bend the tubing in the middle according to the diagram below. DO NOT bend the tubing more than 90° or more than 3 times.
  6. After connecting the copper pipes to the indoor unit, wrap the power cable, signal cable and the piping together with binding tape.
    • NOTE: DO NOT intertwine signal cable with other wires. While bundling these items together, do not intertwine or cross the signal cable with any other wiring.
  7. Thread this pipeline through the wall and connect it to the outdoor unit.
  8. Insulate all the piping, including the valves of the outdoor unit.
  9. Open the stop valves of the outdoor unit to start the flow of the refrigerant between the indoor and outdoor units.
    • CAUTION Check to make sure there is no refrigerant leak after completing the installation work.
    • If there is a refrigerant leak, ventilate the area immediately and evacuate the system (refer to the Air Evacuation section of this manual).

Air Evacuation

Preparations and Precautions

  • Air and foreign matter in the refrigerant circuit can cause abnormal rises in pressure, which can damage the air conditioner, reduce its efficiency, and cause injury.
  • Use a vacuum pump and manifold gauge to evacuate the refrigerant circuit, removing any non-condensable gas and moisture from the system.
  • Evacuation should be performed upon initial installation and when the unit is relocated.

BEFORE PERFORMING EVACUATION

  • Check to make sure the connective pipes between the indoor and outdoor units are connected properly.
  • Check to make sure all wiring is connected

Evacuation Instructions

Before using a manifold gauge and a vacuum pump, read their operation manuals to make sure you know how to use them properly.

  1. Connect the manifold gauge’s charge hose to the service port on the outdoor unit’s low-pressure valve.
  2. Connect the manifold gauge’s charge hose from to the vacuum pump.
  3. Open the Low-Pressure side of the manifold gauge. Keep the High-Pressure side closed.
  4. Turn on the vacuum pump to evacuate the system
  5. Run the vacuum for at least 15 minutes, or until the Compound Meter reads -76cmHG (-1x105Pa).
  6. Close the manifold gauge’s Low-Pressure valve and turn off the vacuum pump.
  7. Wait for 5 minutes, then check that there has been no change in system pressure.
    • NOTE: If there is no change in system pressure, unscrew the cap from the packed valve (high-pressure valve). If there is a change in system pressure, there may be a gas leak.
  8. Insert a hexagonal wrench into the packed valve (high pressure valve) and open the valve by turning the wrench 1/4 counterclockwise.
    • Listen for gas to exit the system, then close the valve after 5 seconds.
  9. Watch the Pressure Gauge for one minute to make sure that there is no change in pressure. It should read slightly higher than the atmospheric pressure.
  10. Remove the charge hose from the service port.
  11. Using hexagonal wrench, fully open both the high pressure and low pressure valves.
    • OPEN VALVE STEMS GENTLY
    • When opening valve stems, turn the hexagonal wrench until it hits against the stopper. DO NOT try to force the valve to open further.
  12. Tighten valve caps by hand, then tighten it using the proper tool.
    • If the outdoor unit uses all vacuum valves, and the vacuum position is at the main valve, the system is not connected with the indoor unit. The valve must be tightened with a screw nut. Check for gas leaks before operation to prevent leakage.
