GENERAL INFORMATION Specific features (1) A new refrigerant, R410A, which causes no damage to the earth’s ozone layer, is used. R410A is a pseudoazeotropic refrigerant, so there is little formation of separate vapor and liquid layers, and it is possible to add refrigerant on-site. (2) Less refrigerant charge amount due to use of double phase refrigerant flow system.
2.2 Range of usage & limitations Models 151, 201, 251 models 301~601 models Item Indoor return air temperature (Upper, lower limits) Refer to the selection chart Outdoor air temperature (Upper, lower limits) Indoor unit atmosphere (behind ceiling) Dew point temperature: 28˚C or less, relative humidity: 80% or less temperature and humidity Refrigerant line (one way) length Max.

MAINTENANCE DATA 6.1 Servicing (1) Evacuation The evacuation is a procedure to purge impurities, such as noncondensable gas, air, moisture from the refrigerant equipment by using a vacuum pump. Since the refrigerant R410A is very insoluble in water, even a small amount of moisture left in the refriger- ant equipment will freeze, causing what is called ice clogging.
(2) Refrigerant charging After the evacuation shown in the above, change the connection of the charge hose A to the refrigerant cylinder. Purge air from the charge hose A . First loosen the connecting portion of the charge hose at the gauge manifold side and open valve 3 for a few seconds, and then immediately retighten it after observing that gas has blown out from loosened connecting portion.
