8■English6. Refilling refrigerantCheck the type of refrigerant to be used on the machine nameplate.Precautions when adding R410AFill from the liquid pipe in liquid form.R410A is a mixed refrigerant, so adding it in gas form may cause the refrigerant composition to change, preventing normaloperation.1) Before filling, check whether the cylinder has a siphon attached or not. (It should have something like “liquid filling siphonattached” displayed on it.)Filling a cylinder with an attached siphonStand the cylinder upright when filling.There is a siphon pipe inside, so the cylinderneed not be upside-down to fill with liquid.Filling other cylindersTurn the cylinderupside-down when filling.• Be sure to use the R410A tools to ensure pressure and to prevent foreign objects entering.7. Refrigerant piping work7-1. Cautions on pipe handling• Protect the open end of the pipe from dust and moisture.• All pipe bends should be as gentle as possible. Use a pipe bender forbending.7-2. Selection of copper and heat insulation materialsWhen using commercial copper pipes and fittings, observe the following:• Insulation material: Polyethylene foamHeat transfer rate: 0.041 to 0.052W/mK (0.024 to 0.030Btu/fth°F (0.035to 0.045kcal/mh°C))Be sure to use insulation that is designed for use with HVAC Systems.• ACR Copper only.• Be sure to insulate both the gas and liquid piping and observe theinsulation dimensions as below.WallIf no flare cap isavailable, coverthe flare mouthwith tape to keepdirt and water out.Be sure toplace a cap.RainGas sidePiping sizeO.D. 3/8 inch(9.5mm)O.D. 1/2 inch(12.7mm)O.D. 5/8 inch(15.9mm)O.D. 1/4 inch(6.4mm)1-3/16 inch (30mm)or more1-9/16 inch (40mm)or more1-15/16 inch (50mm)or more1-3/16 inch (30mm)or more0.031 inch (0.8mm)(C1220T-O)0.039 inch (1.0mm)(C1220T-O)0.031 inch (0.8mm)(C1220T-O)I.D. 15/32-19/32 inch(12-15mm)I.D. 9/16-5/8 inch(14-16mm)I.D. 5/8-13/16 inch(16-20mm)I.D. 5/16-13/32 inch(8-10mm)13/32 inch(10mm) Min.Minimum bend radius Piping thickness Thermal insulation size Thermal insulationthicknessLiquid side• Use separate thermal insulation pipes for gas and liquid refrigerant pipes.Gas pipeLiquid pipeGas pipeinsulationLiquid pipeinsulationFinishing tape Drain hoseInter-unit wireEnglish
