2-3. PRECAUTIONS WHEN REUSING EXISTING R22 REFRIGERANT PIPES

(1) Flowchart
• Refer to the fl owchart below to determine if the existing pipes can be used and if it is necessary to use a fi lter dryer.
• If the diameter of the existing pipes is different from the specifi ed diameter, refer to technological data materials to confi rm if
the pipes can be used.
The existing pipe thickness meets specifi ca-
tions and the pipes are not damaged.
▼
Check if the existing air conditioner can operate.
▼
After operating the cooling system for about 30
minutes, do a pump down work.
▼
Disconnect the existing air conditioner from the
pipes.
▼
Attach the new air conditioner
▼
Perform the airtight test, vacuum air purging,
additional refrigerant charging (if necessary),
and gas leak check.

2-4. PRECAUTIONS FOR SALT PROOF TYPE "-BS" MODEL

Although "-BS" model has been designed to be resistant to salt damage, observe the following precautions to maintain the
performance of the unit.
1. Avoid installing the unit in a location where it will be exposed directly to seawater or sea breeze.
2. If the cover panel may become covered with salt, be sure to install the unit in a location where the salt will be washed away by
rainwater. (If a sunshade is installed, rainwater may not clean the panel.)
3. To ensure that water does not collect in the base of the outdoor unit, make sure that the base is level, not at angle. Water
collecting in the base of the outdoor unit could cause rust.
4. If the unit is installed in a coastal area, clean the unit with water regularly to remove any salt build-up.
5. If the unit is damaged during installation or maintenance, be sure to repair it.
6. Be sure to check the condition of the unit regularly.
7. Be sure to install the unit in a location with good drainage.
