Installation Of New Refrigerant Air Conditioner - Toshiba MCY-MAP0401HT Installation Manual

1

INSTALLATION OF NEW REFRIGERANT AIR CONDITIONER

This air conditioner adopts the new HFC refrigerant (R410A) which does not deplete the ozone layer.
• R410A refrigerant is apt to be affected by impurity such as water, oxidizing membrane, or oils because the
pressure of R410A refrigerant is higher than that of the former refrigerant by approx. 1.6 times. Accompanied with
adoption of the new refrigerant, refrigerating oil has been also changed. Therefore pay attention so that water,
dust, former refrigerant, or refrigerating oil does not enter into the refrigerating cycle of the new refrigerant air
conditioner during installation work.
• To prevent from mixing of refrigerant or refrigerating oil, the size of charge port of the main unit or connecting
section of installation tool differs from that of the air conditioner for the former refrigerant. Accordingly the
exclusive tools are required for the new refrigerant (R410A) as shown below.
• For connecting pipes, use the new and clean piping materials so that water or dust does not enter.
