Refrigerant Pipe Installation - Samsung AM MXVAFC Series Installation Manual

Refrigerant pipe installation

• When installing, make sure there is no leakage . When collecting the refrigerant, stop the compressor first before
removing the connection pipe . If the refrigerant pipe is not properly connected and the compressor works
WARNING
with the service valve open, the pipe inhales the air and it makes the pressure inside of the refrigerant cycle
abnormally high which may lead to explosion and injury .
Refrigerant pipe work
f The length of refrigerant pipe should be as short as possible and the height difference between an indoor and outdoor f
unit should be minimized .
f Piping work must be done within allowable piping length, height difference, and the allowable length after branching . f
f The pressure of the R-410A is high . Use only certified refrigerant pipe and follow the installation method . f
f After installing the pipes, calculate the total length of the pipe to check if additional refrigerant is needed . When you need f
to charge the additional refrigerant, make sure to use R-410A refrigerant .
f Use clean refrigerant pipe and there shouldn't be any harmful ion, oxide, dust, iron content or moisture inside pipe .
f
f Use tools and accessories that fit on R-410A only .

Compatibility with conventional tool
Compatible
Exclusive ether oil, ester oil, alkali benzene oil or synthetic oil
Compatible
Need exclusive one to prevent mixture of R-22 refrigerant oil use and
also the measurement is not available due to high pressure
Need exclusive one since there is risk of refrigerant leakage or inflow
of impurities
Compatible (Use products which contain the check valve to prevent
the oil from flowing backward into the outdoor unit . ) Use the one
that can be vacuumed up to -100 . 7 kpa(5Torr) .
