Special Precautions for R407C 1) What is new refrigerant R407C? R407C is a zeotropic refrigerant mixture which has zero ozone depletion potential and thus conformed to the Montreal Protocol regulation. It requires Polyol ester oil (POE) oil for its compressor's lubricant. Its refrigerant capacity and performance are about the same as the refrigerant R22.
Page 57
c) Ensure that the compressor is not expose to open air for more than the recommended time specified by its manufacturer (typically less than 10 minutes). Removed the seal-plugs only when the compressor is about to be brazed. d) The system should be thoroughly vacuumed to 1.0 Pa (-700mmHg) or lower. This vacuuming level is more stringent than R22 system so as to ensure no incompressible gas and moisture in the system.
Installation M4AC / MAC080 / 100 / 120 / 150 C/CR 500mm 500mm Safety Precautions Before installing the air conditioner unit, please read the following safety precautions carefully Warning Installation and maintenance should be performed by qualified persons who are familiar with local code and regulation, and experienced with this type of appliance.
Page 59
Caution Please take note of the following important points when installing. • Do not install the unit where leakage of flammable gas may occur. If gas leaks and accumulates around the unit, it may cause fire ignition. Ensure that the drainage piping is connected properly. If the drainage piping is not connected properly, it may cause water leakage which will dampen the furniture.
Page 60
Electrical and Wiring Refer to the wiring diagram provided on the unit when making electrical wiring. Install an isolator (if it is not provided) to prevent electrical shock. Do not ground any electrical equipment to the water piping. Operation of the mini chiller without any fan speed controller (Field supply) is limited to an ambient temperature of 20ºC.
Page 61
WARNING All terminals and connection must be tightened. Avoid any wires from touching the refrigerant pipe. Apply insulation if necessary. Avoid any wires from touching the moving components such as, fan motor, pump & compressor Water Piping System Setup Fill up the water circuit after connecing all the pipes and equipment. Perform leak checks for all connections and joints.
Page 62
Control Operation Guide The unit is equipped with a microprocessor controller board. The microprocessor controller is provided to give temperature control for the system by accurately measuring the ambient temperature, and controlling the water entering and water leaving temperature. The temperature setting in the unit is preset in the factory. It is not recommended to change the setting unless necessary.
Servicing and Maintenance Servicing Servicing or maintenance of these unit must be carried out by experienced personnel with specific training in refrigeration. Repeated check the safety devices and continuous cycling of control components must be analyzed and corrected before being reset. The simple design of the refrigeration circuit totally eliminates potential problems during normal unit operation.
Troubleshooting When any malfunction is occurred, immediately switch off the power supply to the unit, and contact the local dealer, if necessary. Some simple troubleshooting tips are given below: SYMPTOMS POSSIBLE CAUSES REMEDIAL ACTION No power supply. 1. Compressor Check power supply. Fuses blown or automatic circuit break- does not start.
