CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION
PART 1 ENGINEERING INSTALLATION PREPARATION
1 INSTALLATION SAFETY
Personnel and property safety are highly concerned during the entire installation process.
Installation implementation must abide by relevant national safety regulations to ensure personnel and
property safety.
All personnel involved in the installation must attend safety education courses and pass
corresponding safety examinations before installation. Only qualified personnel can attend the
installation. Relevant personnel must be held responsible for any violation of the regulation.
2 IMPORTANCE OF INSTALLATION ENGINEERING
VRF air conditioning systems use refrigerant, instead of other agent, to directly evaporate to carry
out the system heat. High level of pipe cleanness and dryness is required in the system. Since various
pipes need to be prepared and laid out onsite, carelessness or wrong operation during installation may
leave impurities, water, or dust inside refrigerant pipes. If the design fails to meet the requirement,
various problems may occur in the system or even lead to system breakdown.
Problems that usually occur during installation are as follows:
No.
Installation Problem
Dust or impurities enter into the
1
refrigeration system.
Nitrogen is not filled into the
2
refrigerant pipe or insufficient Nitrogen
is filled before welding.
The vacuum degree in the refrigerant
3
pipe is insufficient.
Water enters into the refrigeration
4
system.
The refrigerant pipe specifications do
5
not meet the configuration
requirements.
6
Refrigerant pipe is blocked.
7
Refrigerant pipe exceeds the limit.
8
Incorrect amount of refrigerant is filled.
Pipes are more likely to be blocked; air conditioning performance is
reduced; compressor wear is increased or even hinder the normal
operation of the system and burn the compressor.
Pipes are more likely to be blocked; air conditioning performance is
reduced; compressor wear is increased or even hinder the normal
operation of the system and burn the compressor.
The refrigeration performance is reduced. The system fails to keep normal
operation due to frequent protection measures. When the problem getting
serious, compressor and other major components can be damaged.
Copper plating may appear on the compressor and reduce the
compressor efficiency with abnormal noise generated; failures may occur
in the system due to ice plug.
Smaller configuration specifications can increase the system pipe
resistance and affect the cooling performance; larger configuration
specifications are waste of materials and can also reduce the cooling
performance.
The cooling performance is reduced; in certain cases, it may cause
long-term compressor operating under overheat conditions; the lubricating
effect can be affected and the compressor may be burnt if impurities were
mixed with the lubricating oil.
The loss in pipe is considerable and the unit energy efficiency decreases,
which are harmful for long-term running of the system.
The system cannot correctly control the flow allocation; the compressor
may be operating under over-heating environment or running when the
refrigerant flows back to the compressor.
