2.5. New refrigerant Series [R407C]
pipe installation
2.5.1. Procedure
 
    • 
• •  • 
The new refrigerant (R407C) has a different composition to
the previously-used refrigerant (R22), so some contents
and method of pipe installa tion and charging work are
different from before. Care should be taken whencarrying
out this work.
2.5.2. Installation and precautions
2.5.2.1. Before installation
 1. Determine the installa tion division.
 2. Check the refrigerant to be used.
 
    • 
• •  • 
Check that the refrigerant is R407C .
 
    • 
• •  • 
Check that the gauge pressure is at a maximum of 3.3
MPa.
 3. Make a drawing of the Installation.
2.5.2.2. Installation
 1. Install the sleeve and the insert.
 2. Install the indoor unit.
 3. Install the refrigerant piping.
 
    • 
• •  • 
Pipe materials
 
    • 
• •  • 
Refrigerant pipes which were previously used to carry
R22 must not be re-used. If replacing the indoor and
outdoo r units, be sure to replace all refrigerant pipes
also.
 
    • 
• •  • 
Check the pipe thickness.
 
    • 
• •  • 
Clean the inside of the pipes.
 
    • 
• •  • 
W hen storing pipes, seal both ends of the pipes and
store them indoors to prevent water, dust and other
foreign particles from getting inside.
 
    • 
• •  • 
Take care not to let any foreign particles (oxide scales,
water or dirt) get inside the refrigerant lines (same as for
R22).Q

    • 
• •  • 
Pinching method
Close off the ends of the pipes with pliers or similar tool
and seal the openin g by brazing.
 
    • 
• •  • 
Taping method
Wind PVCtape around the ends of the pipes to seal the
openin gs.
 
    • 
• •  • 
Do not work for refrigerant piping on outdoo r on rainy
days.
 
    • 
• •  • 
Seal by brazing.
 
    • 
• •  • 
Be sure to use only a non-oxidizing brazing material.
(Use nitrogen. Anti-oxidants cannot be used.)
 
    • 
• •  • 
W hen brazing pipes together, or when brazing copper
pipes and copper joints, use a brazing material (Bcup-3)
which does not require flux.
 
    • 
• •  • 
Flare processing and ester oil.
 
    • 
• •  • 
Sealing can be improved by applyin g ester oil or mineral
oil (the minimum amoun t necessary) to flares and flange
connections.
 
    • 
• •  • 
Due to the high hygroscopic tenden cy for ester oil, do
not mix or use any other impurities. (This can cause
deterioration of the compressor oil and problems with
the compressor.)
 
    • 
• •  • 
After preparing the refrigerant pipes, close both ends of
the pipes by brazing if not immediately connectingthem.
 
    • 
• •  • 
A torque wrench must be used.
 4. Install the drain pipe.
 5. Install the ducts.
 6. Insulate against heat.
 7. Carry out the electrical work.

							 11. Air-tightness test.
For the final check, there should be no pressure drop when
3.3 MPa is applied for 24 hours.
 12. Vacuum drying.
Vacuum draw time60 min. or more
* Vacuum pump capacity 60 l/min. or higher
 
    • 
• •  • 
Drawing the vacuum will remove any moisture.
 
    • 
• •  • 
The pressure after vacuum drawing should be 755
mmHg or less.
 
    • 
• •  • 
Use a special vacuum pump (with backflow-prevention
mechanism).
 
    • 
• •  • 
Gas must never be used for air purging.
 13. Additio nal refrigerant charging.
 
    • 
• •  • 
Check that refrigerant volume is correct.
 
    • 
• •  • 
Be sure to charge refrigerant in liquid state.
 
    • 
• •  • 
Always charge in liquid state.
When therefrigerant is charged from thecylinde r, the
composition may change greatly (compounds which do
not easily evaporate may remain inside the cylinde r), so
the refrigerant must always be charged in a liquid state.
(It is recommended that a manifo ld with sight glass be
used.)

    • 
• •  • 
Use a special gauge manifo ld and charging hose.
 
    • 
• •  • 
If refrigerant leaks occur, replace all of the refrigerant
(same as for R22).
 
    • 
• •  • 
Note that a R22 leak detector cannot be use to detect
leaks.
 
    • 
• •  • 
Refer to the Installation Instructions include d for the
correct charging amoun t.

    • 
• •  • 
Ventilation of closed rooms
R407C is a non-fla mmable refrigerant with low toxicity ,
but in the gas state its specific gravity is heavier than
that of air, and so if leaks occur in a closed room,
suffoca tion may occur. Toxic gases may also be
generated if it comes into direct contact with flames, so
adequate ventilation must be provided.
