A drainage ditch should be provided to allow drainage of condensate that may form » on the heat exchangers when the units are running in heating mode. The drainage should ensure that condensate is directed away from roadways and footpaths, especially in locations where the climate is such that condensate may freeze.
Refrigerant Piping Design Design Considerations Refrigerant piping design should take account of the following considerations: The amount of brazing required should be kept to a minimum. » On the two inside sides of the first indoor branch joint the system should, as far »...

expansion and shrinkage of the refrigerant piping. Piping should therefore not be fixed too tightly, otherwise stress concentrations may occur in the piping, with the potential for rupturing. Brazing Care must be taken to prevent oxide forming on the inside of copper piping during brazing.

Figure 5.5 Flowing nitrogen from shorter side during brazing Piping orientation during brazing Brazing should be conducted downwards or horizontally to avoid filler leakage. Figure 5.6 Piping orientation during brazing Piping overlap during brazing The table below specifies the minimum permissible piping overlap and the range of permissible gap sizes for brazed joints on piping of different diameters.

9. Once flushing is complete, seal all openings to prevent dust and moisture from entering. Figure 5.8 Pipe flushing using nitrogen liquid pipe gas pipe Outdoor unit Indoor unit A Gas tightness test 5.7.1 Purpose To prevent faults caused by refrigerant leakage, a gas tightness test should be performed before system commissioning.

(temperature at observation – temperature at pressurization) x 0.01MPa. Compare the observed pressure with the adjusted reference pressure. If they are the same, the piping has passed the gastightness test. If the observed pressure is lower than the adjusted reference pressure, the piping has a micro leakage. If the leakage is detected, refer to 5.7.3 “Leak detection”.

system would cause abnormal operation, whilst particles of oxidized copper can cause compressor damage. The presence of non-condensable gases in the system would lead to pressure fluctuations and poor heat exchange performance. Vacuum drying also provides additional leak detection (in addition to the gas tightness test).
After vacuum drying, keep the blue and red hoses connected to the pressure gauge » and to the outdoor unit stop valves, in preparation for refrigerant charging (see Chapter 8 “Charging Refrigerant”). Figure 5.10 Vacuum drying Drain Piping* * If the MISTRAL MDX is only used in heating mode, a condensation drain is not necessary.

Figure 6.2 Drain piping joints – correct and incorrect configurations Branch drain piping should join main drain piping from the top, as shown in Figure » 6.3. Recommended support/hanger spacing is 0.8 – 1.0m for horizontal piping and 1.5 – 2.0m for vertical piping. Each vertical section should be fitted with at least two supports.

considerations: A downward sloping section should immediately follow the vertically rising section » adjacent to the unit, otherwise a water pump error will occur. Refer to Figure 6.6. Air vents should not be installed on vertically rising sections of drain piping, »...
Water flow test (natural drainage test) Slowly fill the drainage pan of each indoor unit with at least 600ml of water through » the inspection port and check that the water is discharged through the outlet of the drain piping.

7.1.4 Installation of piping insulation With the exception of joint insulation, insulation should be applied to piping before fixing the piping in place.

Ducting Insulation Suitable insulation should be added to ducting in according with all applicable » legislation. Charging Refrigerant Calculating Additional Refrigerant Charge The additional refrigerant charge required depends on the lengths and diameters of the outdoor and indoor liquid pipes. The table below shows the additional refrigerant charge required per meter of equivalent pipe length for different diameters of pipe.
After vacuum drying (see Part 5.8 “Vacuum Drying”), the blue and red pressure » gauge hoses should still be connected to the pressure gauge and to the master unit stop valves. Connect the yellow hose from the pressure gauge to the R410A refrigerant tank. »...
parallel. However, the communication wiring should not be bound together with the refrigerant piping or power wiring. To prevent signal interference, the power wiring and communication wiring should not be run in the same conduit. If the power supply is less than 10A, a separation of at least 300mm between power wiring and communication wiring conduits should be maintained;...
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.
Commissioning 11.1 Pre-commissioning Checks Before turning on the power to the indoor and outdoor units, ensure the following: 1. All indoor and outdoor refrigeration piping and communication wiring has been connected to the correct refrigeration system and the system to which each indoor and outdoor unit belongs is clearly marked on each unit or recorded in some other suitable place.
