    3 Piping work and refrigerant charge 3.1 General notes C A U T I O N Do not install the drain-pipe in an up-slope position. Installing it like this, the drain water cannot be evacuated and will flow back to the unit, causing a possible leakage when the operation is stopped. Always install the unit higher than the exit of the pipe.
  • Page 59 3 Piping work and refrigerant charge Checking the unit without the drain-up mechanism Pour approximately 1.8 litres of water into the drain pan. Make sure that the water flows smoothly and that no water leakage occurs. If you cannot find water at the end of the drain pipe, once again pour approximately 1.8 litres of water into the drain pan.

    3 Piping work and refrigerant charge 3.2.2 Three principles on refrigerant piping work In case of using refrigerant R410A in the refrigeration cycle, the refrigeration oil should be of a synthetic type one. In order to avoid oxidation, pay much careful attention to basic piping work control to avoid infiltration of moisture or dust during the refrigerant piping work.

    3 Piping work and refrigerant charge 3.2.4 Brazing work The most important work in the refrigerant piping installation work is the brazing of the pipes. If it accidentally occurs a leakage due to a careless brazing process, it will cause clogged capillary pipes or serious compressor failure. In order to guarantee a proper brazing neck between different pipes surfaces, accurate pipe dimensions after the expansion process (see the table below): It is important to control the clearance of the pipe fitting portion as shown below.
