TECHNICAL CHANGES INFORMATION FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER WITH R410A REFRIGERANT • This room air conditioner adopts an HFC refrigerant (R410A) which never destroys the ozone layer. • Pay particular attention to the following points, though the basic installation procedure is same as that for R22 conditioners. 1 As R410A has working pressure approximate 1.6 times as high as that of R22, some special tools and piping parts/materials are required.
