4.7 Refrigerant Leakage Precautions R410A refrigerant is not flammable in air at temperatures up to 100°C at atmospheric pressure and is generally considered a safe substance to use in air conditioning systems. Nevertheless, precautions should be taken to avoid danger to life in the unlikely event of a major refrigerant leakage.
5 Refrigerant Piping Installation 5.1 Procedure and Principles 5.1.1 Installation procedure Notes for installers Installation of the refrigerant piping system should proceed in the following order: Pipe Pipe brazing and Pipe flushing Vacuum drying Gastightness test Joint insulation insulation installation Note: Pipe flushing should be performed once the brazed connections have been completed with the exception of the final connections to the indoor units.
Page 237
5.2 Storing Copper Piping 5.2.1 Pipe delivery, storage and sealing Notes for installers Ensure that piping does not get bent or deformed during delivery or whilst stored. On construction sites store piping in a designated location. To prevent dust or moisture entering, piping should be kept sealed whilst in storage and until it is about to be connected.
Page 238
5.3.3 Expanding copper piping ends Notes for installers Ends of copper piping can be expanded so that another length of piping can be inserted and the joint brazed. Insert the expanding head of the pipe expander into the pipe. After completing pipe expansion, rotate the copper pipe a few degrees to rectify the straight line mark left by the expanding head.
Page 239
5.3.5 Bending piping Bending copper piping reduces the number of brazed joints required and can improve quality and save material. Notes for installers Piping bending methods Hand bending is suitable for thin copper piping (Ф6. 35mm - Ф12. 7mm). ...
Page 240
5.5 Brazing Care must be taken to prevent oxide forming on the inside of copper piping during brazing. The presence of oxide in a refrigerant system adversely affects the operation of valves and compressors, potentially leading to low efficiency or even compressor failure.
Page 241
… box continued from previous page Piping orientation during brazing Brazing should be conducted downwards or horizontally to avoid filler leakage. Figure 3-5.6: Piping orientation during brazing Piping overlap during brazing Table 3-5.3 specifies the minimum permissible piping overlap and the range of permissible gap sizes for brazed joints on piping of different diameters.
Page 242
5.6 Branch Joints Notes for installers Use U-shaped branch joints as specified on the Figure 3-5.8: Branch joint orientation construction drawings – do not replace U-shaped branch joints with tee joints. U-shaped branching pipe To avoid accumulation of oil in the outdoor units, outdoor branch joints should be installed horizontally and must not A direction view be higher than the outdoor unit refrigerant outlets.
Page 243
5.7 Piping Connections between Outdoor Units The piping connecting the outdoor units should be horizontal and must not be higher than the refrigerant outlets. If necessary, to avoid obstacles the piping may be vertically offset below the outlets. When inserting a vertical offset to avoid an obstacle, the whole outdoor piping should be offset, rather than just the section adjacent to the obstacle.
Page 244
5.8.2 Procedure Notes for installers Warning Only use nitrogen for flushing. Using carbon dioxide risks leaving condensation in the piping. Oxygen, air, refrigerant, flammable gases and toxic gases must not be used for flushing. Use of such gases may result in fire or explosion. Procedure The liquid and gas sides can be flushed simultaneously;...
Page 245
5.9 Gastightness Test 5.9.1 Purpose To prevent faults caused by refrigerant leakage, a gastightness test should be performed before system commissioning.. 5.9.2 Procedure Notes for installers Warning Only dry nitrogen should be used for gastightness testing. Oxygen, air, flammable gases and toxic gases must not be used for gastightness testing.
Page 246
5.9.3 Leak detection Notes for installers The general methods for identifying the source of a leak are as follows: 1. Audio detection: relatively large leaks are audible. 2. Touch detection: place your hand at joints to feel for escaping gas. 3.
Page 247
5.10.2 Procedure Notes for installers During vacuum drying, a vacuum pump is used to lower the pressure in the piping to the extent that any moisture present evaporates. At 5mmHg (755mmHg below typical atmospheric pressure) the boiling point of water is 0°C. Therefore a vacuum pump capable of maintaining a pressure of -756mmHg or lower should be used.
6 Drain Piping 6.1 Design Considerations Drain piping design should take account of the following considerations: Indoor unit condensate drain piping needs to be of sufficient diameter to carry the volume of condensate produced at the indoor units and installed at a slope sufficient to allow drainage. Discharge as close as possible to the indoor units is usually preferable.
Page 249
Figure 3-6.5: Drain piping air vents Vent Air conditioner drain piping should be installed separately from waste, rainwater and other drain piping and should not come into direct contact with the ground. Drain piping diameter should be not less than the indoor units’ drain piping connection. ...

10 Installation in Areas of High Salinity 10.1 Caution Do not install outdoor units where they could be directly exposed to sea air. Corrosion, particularly on the condenser and evaporator fins, could cause product malfunction or inefficient performance. Outdoor units installed in seaside locations should be placed such as to avoid direct exposure to the sea air and additional anticorrosion treatment options should be selected, otherwise the service life of the outdoor units will be seriously affected.
11 Commissioning 11.1 Outdoor Unit Address and Capacity Settings Before running a system for the first time, set each outdoor unit’s address on switch ENC1 on each outdoor unit’s main PCB. Refer to Table 3-11.1. The capacity of each outdoor unit (on switch ENC2 on each outdoor unit’s main PCB) is factory-set and should not need changing.
Page 261
11.4 Commissioning Trial Runs 11.4.1 Commissioning test run of single refrigerant system Once all the pre-commissioning checks in Part 3, 11.3 “Pre-commissioning Checks” have been completed, a test run should be performed as described below and a V6 Series System Commissioning Report (see Part 3, 12 “Appendix to Part 3 – System Commissioning Report”) should be completed as a record of the operating status of the system during commissioning.
