Vacuum Mode; Thermal Insulation Of Refrigerant Piping - LG Multi V IV PRHR041 Installation Manual

22
WARNING
!
Use a vacuum pump or Inert(nitrogen) gas when doing leakage test
or air purge. Do not compress air or Oxygen and do not use Flamma-
ble gases. Otherwise, it may cause fire or explosion.
- There is the risk of death, injury, fire or explosion.
NOTE
!
Always add an appropriate amount of refrigerant. (For the refrigerant addi-
tional charge)
Too much or too little refrigerant will cause trouble.
To use the Vacuum Mode (If the Vacuum mode is set, all valves of Indoor
units and Outdoor units will be opened.)
WARNING
!
When installing and moving the air conditioner to another site,
recharge after perfect evacuation.
- If a different refrigerant or air is mixed with the original refriger-
ant, the refrigerant cycle may malfunction and the unit may be
damaged.

Thermal insulation of refrigerant piping

Be sure to give insulation work to refrigerant piping by covering liquid
pipe and gas pipe separately with enough thickness heat-resistant poly-
ethylene, so that no gap is observed in the joint between indoor unit
and insulating material, and insulating materials themselves. When in-
sulation work is insufficient, there is a possibility of condensation drip,
etc. Pay special attention to insulation work to ceiling plenum.

NOTE
!
When using polyethylene cover as covering material, asphalt roof-
ing shall not be required.
