5 Preparation Prevailing wind direction When there are no smaller room divisions: Air outlet 5.2.3 Securing safety against refrigerant leaks About safety against refrigerant leaks The installer and system specialist shall secure safety against leakage according to local regulations or standards. The following standards may be applicable if local regulations are not available.
5 Preparation Item Description Piping diameter Must comply with requirements. See "5.3.2 Refrigerant piping requirements" on Piping material page 12. Piping length and height difference Piping insulation If deteriorated, must be replaced. Must comply with requirements. See "6.6 To insulate the refrigerant piping" on page 21. Welded connections Must be checked for gas leaks.
5 Preparation When selecting an expansion valve for the load according to the D~F/d~f: Piping between piping branching and technical information of the expansion valve manufacturer, take into indoor unit account the subcooling ratio (K) for the liquid refrigerant in the table Use the same diameters as the connections (liquid, gas) on the below.
6 Installation The operation switch is located in the switchbox (see illustration ▪ Finishing the indoor installation. below). INFORMATION For installation of the indoor unit (mounting the indoor unit, connecting the refrigerant piping to the indoor unit, connecting the electrical wiring to the indoor unit …), see the installation manual of the indoor unit.
6 Installation 6.3.3 To provide the installation structure 6.3.5 To prevent the outdoor unit from falling over Check the strength and level of the installation ground so that the unit will not cause any operating vibration or noise. In case the unit is installed in places where strong wind can tilt the unit, take following measure: Fix the unit securely by means of foundation bolts in accordance with the foundation drawing.
