9-5. Piping connections and valve operations

Before heating the brazed sections, remove the gas and oil that are trapped in the pipes.

- Failure to do so may generate fire, resulting in serious injury.

Ventilate the room while servicing the unit.

- If the refrigerant leaks, oxygen deficiency may result. If the leaked refrigerant comes in contact

with a heat source, toxic gas will be generated.

Store pipes indoors, and keep both ends of the pipes sealed until just before making a

flare connection or brazing. (Store elbows and other joints in plastic bags.)

- If dust, dirt, or water enters the refrigerant lines, the refrigerant oil will deteriorate and the

compressor will malfunction.

Keep the service valves closed until refrigerant charging is completed.

- Failure to do so will damage the unit.

Place a wet towel on the service valves before brazing the pipes to keep the temperature of

the valves from rising above 120ºC (248ºF).

- Failure to do so may result in equipment damage.

Keep the flame out of contact with the cables and metal sheet when brazing the pipes.

- Failure to do so may result in burnout or malfunction.

Braze the pipes with a nitrogen purge to avoid oxidation.

- Oxidized flux inside the refrigerant pipes will cause the refrigerant oil to deteriorate and cause

the compressor to malfunction.

9-5-1. Removing the pinched connecting pipes

The unit is shipped with the pinched connecting pipes attached to the high- and low-pressure side service valves to

prevent gas leakage.

Take the following steps ① through ③ to remove the pinched connecting pipes before connecting refrigerant pipes to

the outdoor unit.

① Check that the service valves are fully closed (turned clockwise all the way).

② Remove the gas in the pinched connecting pipes, and drain out all the refrigerant oil. (See Ⓔ below.)

③ Remove the pinched connecting pipes. (See Ⓕ below.)

<A> Refrigerant service valve (high-pressure/brazed)

<B> Refrigerant service valve (low-pressure/brazed)

The unit is shipped with the valve closed. Keep the valve closed while connecting pipes or

evacuating the system. Open the valve upon completion of this work.

Service port

Through the service ports, you can charge refrigerant, remove the gas in the pinched

connecting pipes, or evacuate the system.

Remove the cap before turning the shaft. Put the cap back on upon completion of all work.
