5.Refrigerant Piping
Use refrigerant R410A in the refrigerant cycle(refer to outdoor nameplate). Do not
charge oxygen, acetylene or other flammable and poisonous gases into the refrigerant cycle

dangerous and can cause an explosion. It is recommended that compressed air, nitrogen or
refrigerant be used for these types of tests.
