Cautions for flare connection
Please refer to the table for the dimensions for processing flares
and for the tightening torques. (Too much tightening will end up
in splitting of the flare.)

When connecting the flare nut, apply refrigerating machine oil to
the flare (inside and outside) and first screw the nut 3 or 4 turns
by hand.
Application of refrigerant oil
(for R-407C ether or ester oil should be used)
After completing the installation, carry out a gas leak inspection
of the piping connections with nitrogen and such.
Cautions for necessity of a trap
Since there is fear of the oil held inside the riser piping flowing back
into the compressor when stopped and causing liquid compression
phenomenon, or cases of deterioration of oil return, it will be
necessary to provide a trap at an appropriate place in the riser gas
piping.
Trap installation spacing.
A Outdoor unit
B Indoor unit
C Gas piping
D Liquid piping
E Oiltrap
H Install trap at each difference in height of 15 m.
A trap is not necessary when the outdoor unit is installed in a
higher position than the indoor unit.
Cautions for brazing
Be sure to carry out a nitrogen blow when brazing.
Brazing without carrying out nitrogen replacement or releasing
nitrogen into the piping will create large quantities of oxidized
film on the inside of the pipes, adversely affecting valves and
compressors in the refrigerating system and preventing normal
operation.
When brazing while inserting nitrogen into the piping, nitrogen
must be set to 0.02 MPa with a pressure-reducing valve (=just
enough so that it can be felt on the skin).

VACUATING
Do not purge the air with refrigerants. Use a vacuum pump to
vacuum the installation. No additional refrigerant is provided for
air purging.
Pipes inside the units were checked for leaks by the
manufacturer. The refrigerant pipes fit on site are to be checked
for leaks by the installer.
Confirm that the valves are firmly closed before leak test or
vacuuming.
Set up for vacuuming and leak test:
R=0.4~0.8
A Pair system
B Simultaneous operation system
1 Pressure gauge
2 Nitrogen
3 Refrigerant
4 Weighing machine
5 Vacuum pump
6 Stop valve
7 Main pipe
8 Branched pipes
9 Pipe branching kit (optional)
Procedure for leak test
Leak test must satisfy EN378-2.
Evacuate the pipes and check vacuum
1
increase for 1 minute.)
2 Break the vacuum with a minimum of 2 bar of nitrogen. (Never
pressurize more than 3.3 MPa.)
3 Conduct leak test by applying soap water, etc. to the connecting
part of the pipes.
4 Discharge nitrogen.
5 Evacuate and check vacuum again
6 If vacuum gauge does no longer rise, the stop valves can be
openend.
(1) Use a vacuum pump which can evacuate to –100.7 kPa
(5 Torr, –755 mmHg).
Evacuate the system from the liquid and gas pipes by using
a vacuum pump for more than 2 hours and bring the system
to –100.7 kPa. After keeping the system under that condition
for more than one hour, check if the vacuum gauge rises or
not. If it rises, the system may either contain moisture inside
or have leaks.
Following should be executed if there is a possibility of
moisture remaining in the pipe (if piping work is carried out
during the raining season or over a long period of time,
rainwater may enter the pipe during work).
After evacuating the system for 2 hours, pressurize the
system to 0.05 MPa (vacuum break) with nitrogen gas and
evacuate the system again using the vacuum pump for
1 hour to –100.7 kPa (vacuum drying). If the system
cannot be evacuated to –100.7 kPa within 2 hours, repeat
the operation of vacuum break and vacuum drying. Then
after leaving the system in vacuum for 1 hour, confirm that
the vacuum gauge does not rise.
