Thermal Insulation Of Refrigerant Piping; Installing The Water Stopper; Installing The Sealing Material For Base Leg - Mitsubishi Electric CITY MULTI PQHY-P-TLMU-A1 Manual De Instalación

Because the refrigerant used with the unit is nonazerotropic, it must be
charged in the liquid state. Consequently, when charging the unit with
refrigerant from a cylinder, if the cylinder does not have a siphon pipe,
charge the liquid refrigerant by turning the cylinder upside-down as shown in
Fig.10.3.3. If the cylinder has a siphon pipe like that shown in the picture on
Fig.10.3.3, the liquid refrigerant can be charged with the cylinder standing
accidentally be charged with gas refrigerant, replace all the refrigerant with
new refrigerant. Do not use the refrigerant remaining in the cylinder.

10.4. Thermal insulation of refrigerant
piping
Add insulation to refrigerant piping by covering high-pressure/liquid pipe and
low-pressure/gas pipe separately with enough heat resistant polyethylene, so
that there isn't a gap insulation in the joint between indoor unit and insulation,
etc. Pay special attention to insulation in the ceiling plenum.

Note:
When using polyethylene as the insulation, asphalt shall not be
required.
Do not insulate the electric wires.

* If pipes are located in a high-temperature high-humidity environment, such
chart above.

10.5. Installing the water stopper

Make sure to install the supplied water stopper and sealing material when
providing insulation.
* When using PQRY-P series, install them to only the low-pressure pipe.
* When using PQHY-P series, install them to both liquid pipe and gas pipe.
