3-4-2. Notes on corrosion
1. Water quality
It is important to check the water quality beforehand. See table below (Circulating water/Makeup Water Quality
Standards).

Reference items
Reference : Guideline of Water Quality for Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Equipment. (JRA GL02E-1994)
2. Debris in the water
Sand, pebbles, suspended solids, and corrosion products in water can damage the metal pipe and heat exchang-
er on the HBC controller and may cause corrosion. When installing, prevent debris from entering the water. If
there is debris in the water, perform debris removal operation after test run by cleaning the strainers inside the
HBC controller. (Refer to other sections for how to perform a test run.)
3. Connecting pipes made of different materials
Connecting pipes used for HBC controller and indoor unit are copper alloy pipes. If steel pipes are connected to
the pipes, the contact surface will corrode. Do not use steel pipes to avoid corrosion.
4. Residual air
Residual air in the pipe results in water pump malfunction, noise, or water pipe corrosion in the water circuit. En-
sure air is purged before use. (Refer to other sections for how to perform air vent operation.)
