2. REFRIGERANT R410A This air conditioner adopts the new refrigerant HFC (5) After completion of installation work, check to (R410A) which does not damage the ozone layer. make sure that there is no refrigeration gas leakage. The working pressure of the new refrigerant R410A is 1,6 times higher than conventional refrigerant If the refrigerant gas leaks into the room, coming (R22).

2-3. Tools 2-3-1. Required Tools The service port diameter of packed valve of the outdoor unit in the air conditioner using R410A is changed to prevent mixing of other refrigerant. To reinforce the pressure-resisting strength, flare processing dimensions and opposite side dimension of flare nut (For Ø12,7 copper pipe) of the refrigerant piping are lengthened.
2-4. Recharging of Refrigerant When it is necessary to recharge refrigerant, charge the specified amount of new refrigerant according to the following steps. Recover the refrigerant, and check no refrigerant remains in the equipment. When the compound gauge’s pointer has indicated –0,1 Mpa (–76 cmHg), place the handle Low in the fully closed position, and turn off the vacuum pump’s Connect the charge hose to packed valve service...

Be sure to make setting so that liquid can be charged. When using a cylinder equipped with a siphon, liquid can be charged without turning it upside down. It is necessary for charging refrigerant under condition of liquid because R410A is mixed type of refrigerant. Accordingly, when charging refrigerant from the refrigerant cylinder to the equipment, charge it turning the cylinder upside down if cylinder is not equipped with siphon.
