1. Check the type of refrigerant used in the system to be serviced. Refrigerant Type Multi air conditioner for building application CITY MULTI TLMU, YLMU series:R410A 2. Check the symptoms exhibited by the unit to be serviced. Refer to this service handbook for symptoms relating to the refrigerant cycle.
Refrigerant Recovery Equipment Refrigerant recovery May be used if compatible with R410A. 3. Tools and materials that are used with R22 or R407C that may also be used with R410A Tools/Materials Notes Vacuum Pump with a Check Valve Vacuum drying...
Select piping materials that meet the requirements set forth in ASTM B280. 4. Thickness and refrigerant type indicated on the piping materials Ask the pipe manufacturer for the symbols indicated on the piping material for new refrigerant (R410A). 5. Flare processing Select piping materials that meet the requirements set forth in ASTM.
[1-2 Handling and Characteristics of Piping Materials, Refrigerant, and Refrigerant Oil ] 1-2-2 Storage of Piping Materials 1. Storage location Store the pipes to be used indoors. (Warehouse at site or owner's warehouse) If they are left outdoors, dust, dirt, or moisture may infiltrate and contaminate the pipe. 2.
2. Refrigerant composition R410A is a pseudo-azeotropic HFC blend and can almost be handled the same way as a single refrigerant, such as R22. To be safe, however, draw out the refrigerant from the cylinder in the liquid phase. If the refrigerant in the gaseous phase is drawn out, the composition of the remaining refrigerant will change and become unsuitable for use.
Refrigerating machine oil Mineral oil R407C Ester oil R410A Ester oil 2. Effects of contaminants Refrigerating machine oil used in the HFC system must be handled with special care to keep contaminants out. The table below shows the effect of contaminants in the refrigerating machine oil on the refrigeration cycle.
[1-3 Working with Refrigerant Piping ] Working with Refrigerant Piping 1-3-1 Pipe Brazing No changes have been made in the brazing procedures. Perform brazing with special care to keep foreign objects (such as oxide scale, water, and dust) out of the refrigerant system. Example: Inside the brazed connection Use of no inert gas during brazing Use of inert gas during brazing...
[1-3 Working with Refrigerant Piping ] 1-3-2 Air Tightness Test No changes have been made in the detection method. Note that a refrigerant leak detector for R22 will not detect an R410A leak.

[1-3 Working with Refrigerant Piping ] 1-3-3 Vacuum Drying (Photo1) 15010H (Photo2) 14010 Recommended vacuum gauge: ROBINAIR 14010 Thermistor Vacuum Gauge 1. Vacuum pump with a reverse-flow check valve (Photo1) To prevent the vacuum pump oil from flowing into the refrigerant circuit during power OFF or power failure, use a vacuum pump with a reverse-flow check valve.
1. Reasons R410A is a pseudo-azeotropic HFC blend (boiling point R32=-52°C[-62°F], R125=-49°C[-52°F]) and can almost be handled the same way as a single refrigerant, such as R22. To be safe, however, draw out the refrigerant from the cylinder in the liquid phase.
[1-4 Precautions for Wiring ] Precautions for Wiring Control boxes house high-voltage and high-temperature electrical parts. They may still remain energized or hot after the power is turned off. When opening or closing the front cover of the control box, keep out of contact with the internal parts. Before inspecting the inside of the control box, turn off the power, leave the unit turned off for at least 10 minutes, and check that the voltage of the electrolytic capacitor (inverter main circuit) has dropped to 20 VDC or less.
Page 23
[1-4 Precautions for Wiring ] 2) Check the wires are securely fastened to the screw terminals. Screw the screws straight down so as not to damage the screw threads. Hold the two round terminals back to back to ensure that the screw will screw down straight. After tightening the screw, mark a line through the screw head, washer, and terminals with a permanent marker.

[2-2 Types and Maximum Allowable Length of Cables ] Types and maximum allowable length of cables Control lines are categorized into 2 types: transmission line and remote controller line. Use the appropriate type of cables and observe the maximum allowable length specified for a given system. If a given system has a long transmission line or if a noise source is located near the unit, place the unit away from the noise source to reduce noise interference.
[2-3 Switch Settings ] Switch Settings 1. Switch setting The necessary switch settings depend on system configuration. Before performing wiring work, refer to the following page(s).
