Environment-friendly Alternative Refrigerant R410A Environment-friendly Alternative Refrigerant R410A • The refrigerant R410A has the property of higher operating pressure in comparison with R22. Therefore, all materials have the characteristics of higher resisting pressure than R22 ones and this character- istic should be also considered during the installation. R410A is an azeotrope of R32 and R125 mixed at 50:50, so the ozone depletion potential (ODP) of R410A is 0.

Water control Water control Water control • Keep the water temperature between 10~45°C. Other it may cause the breakdown. - Standard water supply temperature is 30°C for Cooling and 20°C for heating. • Properly control the water velocity. Otherwise it may cause the noise, pipe vibration or pipe contraction, expansion according to the temperature.
Page 18
Water control Standard table for water purity control The water may contain many foreign substances and hence may influence the performance and lifetime of the prod- uct due to the corrosion of the condenser and water pipe. (Use water source that complies with the below standard table for water purity control.) If you use water supply other than the tap water to supply the water for the cooling tower, you must do a water quality inspection.

Refrigerant piping installation Refrigerant piping installation WARNING Always use extreme care to prevent the refrigerant gas (R410A) from leakage while using fire or flame. If the refrigerant gas comes in contact with the flame from any source, such as a gas stove, it breaks down and generates a poisonous gas which can cause gas poisoning.

Refrigerant piping system Thermal insulation of refrigerant piping Be sure to give insulation work to refrigerant piping by covering liquid pipe and gas pipe separately with enough thickness heat-resistant polyethylene, so that no gap is observed in the joint between indoor unit and insulating material, and insulating materials themselves.
Leakage test and vacuum Leakage test and vacuum Leak test Leak test should be made by pressurizing nitrogen gas to 3.8 MPa(38.7kgf/cm ). If the pressure does not drop for 24 hours, the system passes the test. If the pressure drops, check where the nitrogen leaks. For the test method, refer to the following figure.
Page 49
Leakage test and vacuum Vacuum Vacuum drying should be made from the service port provided on the outside unit’s service valve to the vacuum pump commonly used for liquid pipe, gas pipe and high/low pressure common pipe. (Make Vacuum from liquid pipe, gas pipe and high/low pressure common pipe with the service valve closed.) * Never perform air purging using refrigerant.
