In case of using the existing pipes for R22, be careful with Vacuum pump oil may flow back into refrigerant cycle and the followings.
  • Page 4 [1] Cautions for service (1) Perform service after recovering the refrigerant left in unit completely. (2) Do not release refrigerant in the air. (3) After completing service, charge the cycle with specified amount of refrigerant. (4) When performing service, install a filter drier simultaneously. Be sure to use a filter drier for new refrigerant.
  • Page 5 2-3. CAUTIONS FOR REFRIGERANT PIPING WORK New refrigerant R410A is adopted for replacement inverter series. Although the refrigerant piping work for R410A is same as for R22, exclusive tools are necessary so as not to mix with different kind of refrigerant. Furthermore as the working pressure of R410A is 1.6 times higher than that of R22, their sizes of flared sections and flare nuts are different.

(Max. 100ft, 30m) The refrigerant circuit with LEV (Linear Expansion Valve) and accumulator always control the optimal refrigerant level regardless of the length (100ft, 30m max. and 16ft, 5m min.) of piping. The additional refrigerant charging work during installation often causes problems.
