Step 8 Performing the gas leak test
To identify potential gas leaks on the indoor unit, inspect
the connection area of each refrigerant pipe using a leak
detector for R-410A.
Before recreating the vacuum and recirculating the
refrigerant gas, pressurize the whole system with
nitrogen (using a cylinder with a pressure reducer) at a
pressure above 0.2 MPa, less than 4 MPa (gauge) in order
to immediately detect leaks on the refrigerant fittings.
Made vacuum for 15 minutes and pressurizing system
with nitrogen.
Insulator
Step 9 Insulating the refrigerant pipes
Once you have checked that there are no leaks in the
system, you can insulate the piping and hose.
1 To avoid condensation problems, place Acrylonitrile
Butadien Rubber separately around each refrigerant pipe.
No gap
NBR
NOTE
• Always make the seam of pipes face upwards.
CAUTION
• The insulation has to be produced in full compliance
wirh European regulation EEC / EU 2037 / 2000
requiring the use of sheaths insulation without using
CFC and HCFC gases for health and the environment.
2 Wind insulating tape around the pipes and drain hose
avoiding compressing the insulation too much.
• Be sure to wrap insulation tightly without any gaps.
Liquid side
3 Finish wrapping insulating tape around the rest of the
pipes leading to the outdoor unit.
Gas side
4 The pipes and electrical cables connecting the indoor
unit with the outdoor unit must be fixed to the wall
with suitable ducts.
• Must fit tightly against body without any gap.
• Make sure that all refrigerant connection must be
accessible for easy maintenance and detachment.
• Install the insulation not to get wider and use the
adhesives on the connection part of it to prevent moisture
from entering.
• Wind the refrigerant pipe with insulation tape if it is
exposed to outside sunlight.
• Install the refrigerant pipe respecting that the insulation
does not get thinner on the bent part or hanger of pipe.
• Add the additional insulation if the insulation plate gets
thinner.
