PIPING WORK AND REFRIGERANT CHARGE
8.5 VaCUUminG
Connect a manifold gauge and vacuum pump to the check joints.
8.5.1 Basic Method
If the penetration of moisture is suspected, perform "Triple
Evacuation Method" that is described in the next paragraph.
1 Vacuum until the pressure reaches 500 microns (0.5 mmHg)
or Lower for two hours.
2 After vacuum pumping work, stop the vacuum pumping and
leave the gauge for one hour.
3 Check to ensure that the pressure in the vacuum gauge
does not increase.
8.5.2 Triple Evacuation Method
According to the following [Step 1] [Step 2] [Step 3] in order,
conduct vacuum drying work.

Step 1
1 Vacuum until the pressure reaches 2000 microns
(2.0 mmHg).
2 Pressurize with nitrogen up to 0.3 MPaG (50 PSIG) for
15 minutes.
3 Release pressure until reaching the atmosphere level, as low
as 0.03 MPaG (5 PSIG).

Step 2
1 Vacuum until the pressure reaches 1000 microns
(1.0 mmHg).
2 Pressurize with nitrogen up to 0.3 MPaG (50 PSIG) for
15 minutes.
8.6 aDDitional refriGerant CHarGe CalCUlation
Although refrigerant has been charged into this unit in advance, additional refrigerant charge is required according to piping length.
Determine the additional refrigerant quantity according to the following procedure, and charge the system with it.
Record the additional refrigerant quantity to facilitate maintenance and servicing activities thereafter.

4 Tighten the caps of check joint according to the specified
torque after the vacuum drying work.
5 If the pressure inside the gauge does not reach 500 microns,
it is considered that there is gas leakage.
6 Check for any gas leakage once again.
7 If no leakage exists, it might be moisture remains inside the
pipes. Perform "Triple Evacuation Method".
3 Release pressure until reaching the atmosphere level, as low
as 0.03 MPaG (5 PSIG).

Step 3
1 Vacuum until the pressure reaches 500 microns (0.5 mmHg).
2 Stop vacuum pump.
3 Check that the vacuum 500 microns (0.5 mmHG) can
maintain for one hour.

• If tool or measuring instruments come into contact with the refrigerant,
use the tools or the measuring instruments exclusively for R410A.
• Do not perform vacuuming pumping work with valves of the outdoor
units open. Otherwise, the refrigerant charged before shipment may
leak and it may result in failure. If moisture remains inside the pipes,
the compressor may be damaged.
