2-1. IMPORTANT ITEMS WHEN USING REFRIGERANT R410A

R410A operates at higher pressure and has less solubility with mineral oil than
traditional R22 refrigerant. Therefore, the lubricant and a part of pipe material are different.
Some special tools are necessary.
„ REFRIGERANT PIPING MATERIAL AND WALL THICKNESS
„
It is necessary to use seamless copper tubes for refrigerant use.
Thickness of tubes are shown in table below.
Endurance pressure of the pipe must be 4.2 MPa.
Nominal Diameter (in)
Outside Diameter (mm)
Material
Wall Thickness *3 (mm)
*1: Allowable tensile stress ≥ 33 (N/mm
*2: Allowable tensile stress ≥ 61 (N/mm
*3: Endurance pressure of the pipe must be 4.2 MPa.
Please select the pipe size in accordance with regional standard.

„ TOOLS
„
R410A work requires a number of special tools. Since the tools (with *4 symbol) for R22 work
cannot be used for R410A, prepare them beforehand.
