12. REFRIGERANT R410A: SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS WHEN SERVICING UNIT 12-1. Characteristics of New Refrigerant R410A 12-1-1. What is New Refrigerant R410A? R410A is a new refrigerant that contains two types of pseudo-non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture. Its refrigeration capacity and energy efficiency are about the same level as the conventional refrigerant, R22. 12-1-2.
Page 54
Tubing precautions Refrigerant R410A is more easily affected by dust or moisture compared with R22, thus be sure to temporarily cover the ends of the tubing with caps or tape prior to installation. Never use 0.7mm-thick copper tubing or tubing which is less than 0.8mm in thickness, since air conditioners with R410A are subject to higher pressure than those using R22 and R407C.
12-3. Tools Specifically for R410A For servicing, use the following tools for R410A Tool Distinction Tool Name Gauge manifold Charging hose Gas leak detector Refrigerant cylinder Charging cylinder Refrigerant recovery unit Vacuum pump with anti-reverse flow (*1) Tools specifically for R410A (Solenoid valve-installed type, which prevents oil from flowing back into the unit when the power is off, is recommended.) Vacuum pump (*2)...can be used if the following adapter is attached.
12-5. In Case of Compressor Malfunction Should the compressor malfunction, be sure to make the switch to a replacement CAUTION compressor as quickly as possible. Use only the tools indicated exclusively for R410A. See "12-3. Tools Specifically for R410A." 12-5-1. Procedure for Replacing Compressor (1) Recovering refrigerant Any remaining refrigerant inside the unit should not be (1) Recover refrigerant...
Page 57
(5) Recharging Configuration and characteristics of cylinders Be sure to charge the specified amount of Valve refrigerant in liquid state using the service port of the wide tube service valve. The proper amount is listed on the unit's nameplate. When the entire amount cannot be charged all at once, charge gradually while operating the unit in Cooling Operation.
12-6. In Case Refrigerant is Leaking Never attempt to charge additional refrigerant when refrigerant has been leaking CAUTION from the unit. Follow the procedure described below to locate points of leaks and carry out repairs, then recharge the refrigerant. (1) Detecting Leaks Use the detector for R410A to locate refrigerant leak points.
12-7. Charging Additional Refrigerant 12-7-1. When Tubes are Extended Observe the proper amount of refrigerant as stated in this service manual or the installation manual that came with the indoor unit. Charge additional refrigerant in liquid state only. Never charge additional refrigerant if refrigerant is leaking from the unit. Follow CAUTION instructions given in "12-6.
