Check of Density Limit 2. The standards for minimum room volume are as follows. The room in which the air conditioner is to be (1) No partition (shaded portion) installed requires a design that in the event of refrigerant gas leaking out, its density will not exceed a set limit.
Precautions for Installation Using New Refrigerant 1. Care regarding tubing 1-1. Process tubing Material: Use C1220 phosphorous deoxidized copper specified in JIS H3300 “Copper and Copper Alloy Seam- less Pipes and Tubes.” For tubes of ø19.05 or larger, use C1220 T-1/2H material or H material, and do not bend the tubes. Tubing size: Be sure to use the sizes indicated in the table below.
3-2. Use R410A exclusive cylinder only. Valve Single-outlet valve (with siphon tube) Liquid refrigerant should be recharged with the cylinder standing on end as shown. Liquid New refrigerant R410A cannot be used for earlier models. 1. Compressor specifications are different. If recharging a R22 or R407C compressor with R410A, durability will significantly decrease since some of the materials used for compressor parts are...
