ADOPTION OF NEW REFRIGERANT


This Air Conditioner is a new type which adopts a new refrigerant HFC (R410A) instead of the conventional
refrigerant R22 in order to prevent destruction of the ozone layer.

WARNING
Cleaning of the air filter and other parts of the air filter involves dangerous work in high places, so be sure to
have a service person do it. Do not attempt it yourself. The cleaning diagram for the air filter is there for the
service person, and not for the customer.

6. REFRIGERANT R410A
This air conditioner adopts the new refrigerant HFC
(R410A) which does not damage the ozone layer.
The working pressure of the new refrigerant R410A
is 1.6 times higher than conventional refrigerant
(R22). The refrigerating oil is also changed in
accordance with change of refrigerant, so be careful
that water, dust, and existing refrigerant or refrigerating oil are not entered in the refrigerant cycle of the
air conditioner using the new refrigerant during
installation work or servicing time.
The next section describes the precautions for air
conditioner using the new refrigerant. Conforming to
contents of the next section together with the
general cautions included in this manual, perform
the correct and safe work.

6-1. Safety During Installation/Servicing


As R410As pressure is about 1.6 times higher than
that of R22, improper installation/servicing may
cause a serious trouble. By using tools and materials exclusive for R410A, it is necessary to carry out
installation/servicing safely while taking the following
precautions into consideration.
1) Never use refrigerant other than R410A in an air
conditioner which is designed to operate with
R410A.
If other refrigerant than R410A is mixed, pressure
in the refrigeration cycle becomes abnormally
high, and it may cause personal injury, etc. by a
rupture.
2) Confirm the used refrigerant name, and use tools
and materials exclusive for the refrigerant R410A.
The refrigerant name R410A is indicated on the
visible place of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner using R410A as refrigerant. To prevent
mischarging, the diameter of the service port
differs from that of R22.
3) If a refrigeration gas leakage occurs during
installation/servicing, be sure to ventilate fully.
If the refrigerant gas comes into contact with fire,
a poisonous gas may occur.
4) When installing or removing an air conditioner, do
not allow air or moisture to remain in the refrigeration cycle. Otherwise, pressure in the refrigeration cycle may become abnormally high so
that a rupture or personal injury may be caused.
5) After completion of installation work, check to
make sure that there is no refrigeration gas
leakage.
If the refrigerant gas leaks into the room, coming
into contact with fire in the fan-driven heater,
space heater, etc., a poisonous gas may occur.

6) When an air conditioning system charged with a


large volume of refrigerant is installed in a small
room, it is necessary to exercise care so that,
even when refrigerant leaks, its concentration
does not exceed the marginal level.
If the refrigerant gas leakage occurs and its
concentration exceeds the marginal level, an
oxygen starvation accident may result.
7) Be sure to carry out installation or removal
according to the installation manual.
Improper installation may cause refrigeration
trouble, water leakage, electric shock, fire, etc.
8) Unauthorized modifications to the air conditioner
may be dangerous. If a breakdown occurs please
call a qualified air conditioner technician or
electrician.
Improper repairs may result in water leakage,
electric shock and fire, etc.

6-2. Refrigerant Piping Installation


6-2-1. Piping Materials and Joints Used
For the refrigerant piping installation, copper pipes
and joints are mainly used. Copper pipes and joints
suitable for the refrigerant must be chosen and
installed. Furthermore, it is necessary to use clean
copper pipes and joints whose interior surfaces are
less affected by contaminants.
1) Copper Pipes
It is necessary to use seamless copper pipes
which are made of either copper or copper alloy
and it is desirable that the amount of residual oil
is less than 40 mg/10 m. Do not use copper
pipes having a collapsed, deformed or discolored
portion (especially on the interior surface).
Otherwise, the expansion valve or capillary tube
may become blocked with contaminants.
As an air conditioner using R410A incurs pressure higher than when using R22, it is necessary
to choose adequate materials.
Thicknesses of copper pipes used with R410A
are as shown in Table 6-2-1. Never use copper
pipes thinner than 0.8 mm even when it is
available on the market.

2) Joints
For copper pipes, flare joints or socket joints are used. Prior to use, be sure to remove all contaminants.
a) Flare Joints
Flare joints used to connect the copper pipes cannot be used for pipings whose outer diameter exceeds
20 mm. In such a case, socket joints can be used.
Sizes of flare pipe ends, flare joint ends and flare nuts are as shown in Tables 6-2-3 to 6-2-6 below.
b) Socket Joints
Socket joints are such that they are brazed for connections, and used mainly for thick pipings whose
diameter is larger than 20 mm.
Thicknesses of socket joints are as shown in Table 6-2-2.

6-2-2. Processing of Piping Materials


When performing the refrigerant piping installation, care should be taken to ensure that water or dust does not
enter the pipe interior, that no other oil other than lubricating oils used in the installed air conditioner is used,
and that refrigerant does not leak. When using lubricating oils in the piping processing, use such lubricating oils
whose water content has been removed. When stored, be sure to seal the container with an airtight cap or any
other cover.
1) Flare Processing Procedures and Precautions
a) Cutting the Pipe
By means of a pipe cutter, slowly cut the pipe so that it is not deformed.
b) Removing Burrs and Chips
If the flared section has chips or burrs, refrigerant leakage may occur.
Carefully remove all burrs and clean the cut surface before installation.

14

c) Insertion of Flare Nut


d) Flare Processing
Make certain that a clamp bar and copper
pipe have been cleaned.
By means of the clamp bar, perform the flare
processing correctly.
Use either a flare tool for R410A or conventional flare tool.

Flare processing dimensions differ according


to the type of flare tool. When using a conventional flare tool, be sure to secure dimension
A by using a gauge for size adjustment.

2) Flare Connecting Procedures and Precautions


a) Make sure that the flare and union portions do not have any scar or dust, etc.
b) Correctly align the processed flare surface with the union axis.
c) Tighten the flare with designated torque by means of a torque wrench. The tightening torque for R410A is
the same as that for conventional R22. Incidentally, when the torque is weak, the gas leakage may occur.
When it is strong, the flare nut may crack and may be made non-removable. When choosing the tightening
torque, comply with values designated by manufacturers. Table 6-2-7 shows reference values.

Note)
When applying oil to the flare surface, be sure to use oil designated by the manufacturer.
If any other oil is used, the lubricating oils may deteriorate and cause the compressor to burn out.

6-3. Tools
6-3-1. Required Tools
The service port diameter of packed valve of the outdoor unit in the air conditioner using R410A is changed to
prevent mixing of other refrigerant. To reinforce the pressure-resisting strength, flare processing dimensions and
opposite side dimension of flare nut (For 12.7 copper pipe) of the refrigerant piping are lengthened.
The used refrigerating oil is changed, and mixing of oil may cause a trouble such as generation of sludge,
clogging of capillary, etc. Accordingly, the tools to be used are classified into the following three types.
1) Tools exclusive for R410A (Those which cannot be used for conventional refrigerant (R22))
2) Tools exclusive for R410A, but can be also used for conventional refrigerant (R22)
3) Tools commonly used for R410A and for conventional refrigerant (R22)
The table below shows the tools exclusive for R410A and their interchangeability.

6-4. Recharging of Refrigerant


When it is necessary to recharge refrigerant, charge the specified amount of new refrigerant according to the
following steps.
Recover the refrigerant, and check no refrigerant
remains in the equipment.

When the compound gauges pointer has indicated


0.1 Mpa (76 cmHg), place the handle Low in the
fully closed position, and turn off the vacuum pumps
power switch.

Connect the charge hose to packed valve service


port at the outdoor units gas side.

Keep the status as it is for 1 to 2 minutes, and ensure


that the compound gauges pointer does not return.

Connect the charge hose of the vacuum pump


adapter.

Set the refrigerant cylinder to the electronic balance,


connect the connecting hose to the cylinder and the
connecting port of the electronic balance, and charge
liquid refrigerant.

Open fully both packed valves at liquid and gas


sides.

Place the handle of the gauge manifold Low in the


fully opened position, and turn on the vacuum pumps
power switch. Then, evacuating the refrigerant in the
cycle.

(For refrigerant charging, see the figure below.)

Never charge refrigerant exceeding the specified amount.


If the specified amount of refrigerant cannot be charged, charge refrigerant bit by bit in COOL mode.
Do not carry out additional charging.
When additional charging is carried out if refrigerant leaks, the refrigerant composition changes in the
refrigeration cycle, that is characteristics of the air conditioner changes, refrigerant exceeding the
specified amount is charged, and working pressure in the refrigeration cycle becomes abnormally high
pressure, and may cause a rupture or personal injury.

Be sure to make setting so that liquid can be charged.


When using a cylinder equipped with a siphon, liquid can be charged without turning it upside down.
It is necessary for charging refrigerant under condition of liquid because R410A is mixed type of refrigerant.
Accordingly, when charging refrigerant from the refrigerant cylinder to the equipment, charge it turning the
cylinder upside down if cylinder is not equipped with siphon.

6-5. Brazing of Pipes


6-5-1. Materials for Brazing

Phosphor bronze brazing filler tends to react

1) Silver brazing filler


Silver brazing filler is an alloy mainly composed
of silver and copper. It is used to join iron, copper
or copper alloy, and is relatively expensive though
it excels in solderability.

2) Phosphor bronze brazing filler


Phosphor bronze brazing filler is generally used
to join copper or copper alloy.
3) Low temperature brazing filler
Low temperature brazing filler is generally called
solder, and is an alloy of tin and lead. Since it is
weak in adhesive strength, do not use it for
refrigerant pipes.

with sulfur and produce a fragile compound


water solution, which may cause a gas
leakage. Therefore, use any other type of
brazing filler at a hot spring resort, etc., and
coat the surface with a paint.
When performing brazing again at time of
servicing, use the same type of brazing filler.

6-5-2. Flux
1) Reason why flux is necessary
By removing the oxide film and any foreign
matter on the metal surface, it assists the flow
of brazing filler.
In the brazing process, it prevents the metal
surface from being oxidized.
By reducing the brazing filler's surface tension,
the brazing filler adheres better to the treated
metal.

19

2) Characteristics required for flux


Activated temperature of flux coincides with the
brazing temperature.
Due to a wide effective temperature range, flux
is hard to carbonize.
It is easy to remove slag after brazing.
The corrosive action to the treated metal and
brazing filler is minimum.
It excels in coating performance and is harmless to the human body.
As the flux works in a complicated manner as
described above, it is necessary to select an
adequate type of flux according to the type and
shape of treated metal, type of brazing filler and
brazing method, etc.
3) Types of flux
Noncorrosive flux
Generally, it is a compound of borax and boric
acid.
It is effective in case where the brazing temperature is higher than 800C.
Activated flux
Most of fluxes generally used for silver brazing
are this type.
It features an increased oxide film removing
capability due to the addition of compounds
such as potassium fluoride, potassium chloride
and sodium fluoride to the borax-boric acid
compound.
4) Piping materials for brazing and used brazing filler/flux

6-5-3. Brazing
As brazing work requires sophisticated techniques,
experiences based upon a theoretical knowledge, it
must be performed by a person qualified.
In order to prevent the oxide film from occurring in
the pipe interior during brazing, it is effective to
proceed with brazing while letting dry Nitrogen gas
(N2) flow.

Never use gas other than Nitrogen gas.


(1) Brazing method to prevent oxidation
Attach a reducing valve and a flow-meter to
the Nitrogen gas cylinder.
Use a copper pipe to direct the piping material, and attach a flow-meter to the cylinder.
Apply a seal onto the clearance between the
piping material and inserted copper pipe for
Nitrogen in order to prevent backflow of the
Nitrogen gas.
When the Nitrogen gas is flowing, be sure to
keep the piping end open.
Adjust the flow rate of Nitrogen gas so that it
is lower than 0.05 m/Hr or 0.02 MPa (0.2kgf/
cm) by means of the reducing valve.
After performing the steps above, keep the
Nitrogen gas flowing until the pipe cools
down to a certain extent (temperature at
which pipes are touchable with hands).
Remove the flux completely after brazing.

Do not enter flux into the refrigeration cycle.


When chlorine contained in the flux remains

within the pipe, the lubricating oil deteriorates.


Therefore, use a flux which does not contain
chlorine.
When adding water to the flux, use water
which does not contain chlorine (e.g. distilled
water or ion-exchange water).
Remove the flux after brazing.

6-7. Additional Refrigerant Amount


<Formula for Calculating Additional Refrigerant Amount>
Do not remove the refrigerant even if the additional refrigerant amount becomes minus result as a result of
calculations by the following formula and operate the air conditioner as it is.

8. CIRCUIT CONFIGURATION AND CONTROL SPECIFICATIONS


8-1. Indoor Control Circuit
8-1-1. Outline of Main Controls
1. Pulse Motor Valve (P.M.V.) control
1) PMV is controlled with 50 to 500 pulses during operation, respectively.
2) In cooling operation, PMV is controlled with the temperature difference between TS sensor and TC
sensor.
3) In heating operation, PMV is controlled with the temperature difference between TS sensor and TE
sensor.
4) For the temperature difference in items 2) and 3), 1 to 5K is aimed as the target in both cooling and
heating operations.
5) When the cycle excessively rose in both cooling and heating operations, PMV is controlled by TD sensor.
The aimed value is usually 105C for SM562 in both cooling and heating operations.

CAUTION
A sensor trouble may cause a liquid back-flow or abnormal overheat resulting in excessive shortening of the
compressor life. In a case of trouble on the compressor, be sure to check there is no error in the resistance
value an the refrigerating cycle of each sensor after repair and then start the operation.

2. Discharge temperature release control


1) This function controls the operation frequency,
that is, lowers the operation frequency when
the discharge temperature has not lower or
the discharge temperature has rapidly risen
during P.M.V. control.
It subdivides the frequency control up to a unit
of 0.6Hz to stabilize the cycle.
2) When the discharge temperature is detected
in an abnormal stop zone, the unit stops the
compressor and restarts after 2 minutes 30
seconds.
The error counter is cleared when it has
continued the operation for 10 minutes.
If the abnormal stop zone has been detected
by 4 times without clearing of counter, an
error P03 is displayed.
* The cause is considered as excessively little
amount of refrigerant, defective PMV, or
clogging of cycle.

When the master unit of a group operation has detected [E03], [L03], [L07], or [L08] error, the sub unit of the
group operation detects [P31 error] and then it stops. There is no display of the check code or alarm history of
the main remote controller.
(In this model, the mode enters in automatic address set mode when the master unit has detected [E03], [L03],
[L07], or [L08] error.)

WARNINGS ON REFRIGERANT LEAKAGE


Important

Check of Concentration Limit


The room in which the air conditioner is to be
installed requires a design that in the event of
refrigerant gas leaking out, its concentration will not
exceed a set limit.
The refrigerant R410A which is used in the air
conditioner is safe, without the toxicity or combustibility
of ammonia, and is not restricted by laws to be imposed
which protect the ozone layer. However, since it
contains more than air, it poses the risk of suffocation if
its concentration should rise excessively. Suffocation
from leakage of R410A is almost non-existent. With the
recent increase in the number of high concentration
buildings, however, the installation of multi air
conditioner systems is on the increase because of the
need for effective use of floor space, individual control,
energy conservation by curtailing heat and carrying
power etc.
Most importantly, the multi air conditioner system is able
to replenish a large amount of refrigerant compared
with conventional individual air conditioners. If a single
unit of the multi conditioner system is to be installed in a
small room, select a suitable model and installation
procedure so that if the refrigerant accidentally leaks
out, its concentration does not reach the limit (and in the
event of an emergency, measures can be made before
injury can occur).
In a room where the concentration may exceed the limit,
create an opening with adjacent rooms, or install
mechanical ventilation combined with a gas leak
detection device.
The concentration is as given below.
Total amount of refrigerant (kg)
Min. volume of the indoor unit installed room (m)
Concentration limit (kg/m)

NOTE 2 :
The standards for minimum room volume are as
follows.
(1) No partition (shaded portion)

(2) When there is an effective opening with the


adjacent room for ventilation of leaking refrigerant
gas (opening without a door, or an opening 0.15%
or larger than the respective floor spaces at the top
or bottom of the door).
Outdoor unit
Refrigerant piping
Indoor unit

(3) If an indoor unit is installed in each partitioned room


and the refrigerant piping is interconnected, the
smallest room of course becomes the object. But
when a mechanical ventilation is installed
interlocked with a gas leakage detector in the
smallest room where the density limit is exceeded,
the volume of the next smallest room becomes the
object.

Outdoor unit

The concentration limit of R410A which is used in multi


air conditioners is 0.3kg/m.
NOTE 1 :
If there are 2 or more refrigerating systems in a single
refrigerating device, the amounts of refrigerant should
be as charged in each independent device.

The possible amount of leaked refrigerant gas in
rooms D, E and F is 15kg.
