R454b 60Hz 20 SEER Universal Outdoor Series Technical Manual 5.Insulation Work 5.1 Insulation material and thickness 5.1.1. Insulation material Insulation material should adopt the material which is able to endure the pipe’s temperature: no less than 70℃ in the high-pressure side, no less than 120℃ in the low-pressure side(For the cooling type machine, no requirements at the low-pressure side.) Example: Heat pump type----Heat-resistant Polyethylene foam (withstand above 120℃) Cooling only type----Polyethylene foam (withstand above 100℃)
Page 58
R454b 60Hz 20 SEER Universal Outdoor Series Technical Manual For construction convenience, before laying pipes, use insulation material to insulate the pipes to be deal with, at the same time, at two ends of the pipe, remain some length not to be insulated, in order to be welded and check the leakage after laying the pipes.
R454b 60Hz 20 SEER Universal Outdoor Series Technical Manual 6.Test Operation (1) The test operation must be carried out after the entire installation has been completed. (2) Please confirm the following points before the test operation. The indoor unit and outdoor unit are installed properly. Tubing and wiring are correctly completed.
