Heat Insulation - Panasonic CS-E10HB4EA Service Manual

11.3.5. HEAT INSULATION

Be sure to perform heat insulation on the drain, liquid and gas piping. Imperfection in heat insulation work leads
to water leakage.
1. Use the heat insulation material for the refrigerant piping which has an excellent heat-resistance (over 120°C).
2. Precautions in high humidity circumstance.
This air conditioner has been tested according to the "JIS Standard Conditions with Mist" and have been confirmed that there
are no faults. However, if it is operated for a long time in high humid atmosphere (dew point temperature: more than 23°C),
water drops are liable to fall. In this case, add heat insulation material according to the following procedure:
• Heat insulation material to be prepared... Adiabatic glass wool with thickness 10 to 20 mm.
• Stick glass wool on all air conditioners that are located in ceiling atmosphere.
• In addition to the normal heat insulation (thickness: more than 8 mm) for refrigerant piping (gas piping: thick piping) and drain
piping, add a further of 10 mm to 30 mm thickness material.
Wall seal
• When the outdoor unit is installed on a higher position than
the indoor unit, install the trap so as not to instill rain water
into the wall by transmitting in piping.
• Stuff the space among piping, the electric wire, and the drain
hose with "Putty" and seal the penetration wall hole.
Make sure that rain water do not instill into the wall.
