4. Refrigerant Piping
Use refrigerant R32 in the refrigerant cycle (refer to outdoor nameplate). Do not charge oxygen,
acetylene or other flammable and poisonous gases into the refrigerant cycle when performing a
leakage test or an air-tight test. These type of gases are extremely dangerous and can cause an
explosion. lt is recommended that nitrogen be used for these type of tests.
