New Refrigerant Air Conditioner Installation
• THIS AIR CONDITIONER ADOPTS THE NEW HFC REFRIGERANT (R410A) WHICH DOES NOT
DESTROY OZONE LAYER.
R410A refrigerant is apt to be affected by impurities such as water, oxidizing membrane, and oils because
the working pressure of R410A refrigerant is approx. 1.6 times of refrigerant R22. Accompanied with the
adoption of the new refrigerant, the refrigeration machine oil has also been changed. Therefore, during
installation work, be sure that water, dust, former refrigerant, or refrigeration machine oil does not enter into
the new type refrigerant R410A air conditioner circuit.
To prevent mixing of refrigerant or refrigerating machine oil, the sizes of connecting sections of charging port
on main unit and installation tools are different from those used for the conventional refrigerant units.
Accordingly, special tools are required for the new refrigerant (R410A) units. For connecting pipes, use new
and clean piping materials with high pressure fittings made for R410A only, so that water and/or dust does
not enter. Moreover, do not use the existing piping because there are some problems with pressure fittings
and possible impurities in existing piping.
