TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY


Here are some tips that will help you to minimize the power consumption when you use the air
conditioner. You can use your air conditioner more efficiently by referring to the instructions
given below:

• Do not excessively cool indoors. This may be harmful for your health and may consume more
electricity.
• Block sunlight with blinds or curtains while operating the air conditioner.
• Keep doors or windows closed tightly while operating the air conditioner.
• Adjust the direction of the air guide vane vertically or horizontally to circulate indoor air efficiently.
• Speed up the fan to cool or warm indoor air quickly, in a short period of time.
• Open windows regularly for ventilation as the indoor air quality may deteriorate if the air condi-
tioner is used for many hours.
• Clean the air filter once every 2 weeks. Dust and impurities collected in the air filter may block the
air flow or weaken the cooling / dehumidifying functions.

12 ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE REFRIGERANT R410A
ENGLISH

ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE RE-


FRIGERANT R410A
The refrigerant R410A has the property of higher operating pressure in comparison with R22.
Therefore, all materials have the characteristics of higher resisting pressure than R22 ones and
this characteristic should be also considered during the installation.
R410A is an azeotrope of R32 and R125 mixed at 50:50, so the ozone depletion potential (ODP)
of R410A is 0. These days the developed countries have approved it as the environment-friendly
refrigerant and encouraged to use it widely to prevent environment pollution.

! CAUTION
• The wall thickness of the piping should comply with the relevant local and national regula-
tions for the designed pressure 3.8 MPa
• Since R410A is a mixed refrigerant, the required additional refrigerant must be charged in
its liquid state.
If the refrigerant is charged in its gaseous state, its composition changes and the system
will not work properly.
• Do not place the refrigerant container under the direct rays of the sun to prevent it from
exploding.
• For high-pressure refrigerant, any unapproved pipe must not be used.
• Do not heat pipes more than necessary to prevent them from softening.
• Be careful not to install wrongly to minimize economic loss because it is expensive in
comparison with R22.

Nitrogen substitution method
Welding, as when heating without nitrogen substitution a large amount of the oxide film is
formed on the internal piping.
The oxide film is a caused by clogging EEV, Capillary, oil hole of accumulator and suction hole of
oil pump in compressor.
It prevents normal operation of the compressor.
In order to avoid this problem, Welding should be done after replacing air by nitrogen gas.
When welding plumbing pipe, the work is required.

2) Pipe diameter B after first branch according to 120% indoor unit ombination(80.6 kW) :
Ø 34.9(gas pipe), Ø 19.05(liquid pipe)
Therefore, pipe diameter B connected after first branch would be Ø 34.9(gas pipe) /
Ø 15.88(liquid pipe) which is same with main pipe diameter.

[Example]
Do not choose the main pipe diameter by downward indoor unit total capacity but its outdoor
unit model name.
Do not let the connection pipe from branch to branch exceed the main pipe diameter chosen
by outdoor unit model name.
EX) Where connecting the indoor units to the 22 HP (61.6 kW) outdoor unit to 130% of its
system capacity (80.1 kW) and branching 7k (2.2 kW) indoor unit at the 1st branch.
1) Main pipe diameter(22 HP outdoor unit): Ø28.58(gas pipe), Ø15.88(Liquid pipe)
2) Pipe diameter between 1st and 2nd branch (77.9kW indoor units) :
Ø34.9(Gas pipe), Ø19.05(Liquid pipe) in conformity with downward indoor units.
Since the main pipe diameter of 22HP outdoor unit is Ø28.58(gas pipe), Ø15.88(Liquid

2 m or longer 2 m or longer

- If the distance between the outdoor units becomes more than 2 m, apply Oil Traps between the
gas pipes.
- If the outdoor unit is located lower than the main pipe, apply Oil Trap.

Examples of Wrong Pipe Connections

If the main pipe is


higher than the
outdoor units, oil is Oil Trap
accumulated in the
outdoor unit.

If there are differences in the height


between the outdoor units, oil is
accumulated in the lower outdoor unit.

The amount of Refrigerant


The calculation of the additional charge should take into account the length of pipe and CF(correc-
tion Factor) value of indoor unit.

Additional charge(kg) = Total liquid pipe : Ø 25.4 mm x 0.480 (kg/m)

+ Total liquid pipe : Ø 22.2 mm x 0.354 (kg/m)

+ Total liquid pipe : Ø 19.05 mm x 0.266 (kg/m)

+ Total liquid pipe : Ø 15.88 mm x 0.173 (kg/m)

+ Total liquid pipe : Ø 12.7 mm x 0.118 (kg/m)

+ Total liquid pipe : Ø 9.52 mm x 0.061 (kg/m)

+ Total liquid pipe : Ø 6.35 mm x 0.022 (kg/m)

+ CF value of indoor unit

Amount refrigerant of Indoor units


Example) 4Way Ceiling Cassette 14.5 kW -1ea, Ceiling concealed Duct 7.3 kW-2ea,
Wall Mounted 2.3 kW-4ea
CF = 0.64 × 1 + 0.26 × 2 + 0.24 × 4 = 2.12 kg

Leak Test and Vacuum drying
Leak test
Leak test should be made by pressurizing nitrogen gas to 3.8 MPa(38.7 kgf/cm2). If the pressure
does not drop for 24 hours, the system passes the test. If the pressure drops, check where the
nitrogen leaks. For the test method, refer to the following figure. (Make a test with the service
valves closed. Be also sure to pressurize liquid pipe, gas pipe and high/low pressure common
pipe)
The test result can be judged good if the pressure has not be reduced after leaving for about one
day after completion of nitrogen gas pressurization.

! WARNING
Use a vacuum pump or Inert(nitrogen) gas when doing leakage test or air purge. Do not com-
press air or Oxygen and do not use Flammable gases. Otherwise, it may cause fire or explo-
sion.
- There is the risk of death, injury, fire or explosion.

! NOTE
If the ambient temperature differs between the time when pressure is applied and when the pressure drop is
checked, apply the following correction factor
There is a pressure change of approximately 0.1 kg/cm2 (0.01 MPa) for each 1 °C of temperature difference.
Correction= (Temp. at the time of pressurization – Temp. at the time of check) X 0.1
For example: Temperature at the time of pressurization (3.8 MPa) is 27 °C
24 hour later: 3.73 MPa, 20 °C
In this case the pressure drop of 0.07 is because of temperature drop
And hence there is no leakage in pipe occurred.

! CAUTION
To prevent the nitrogen from entering the refrigeration system in the liquid state, the top of
the cylinder must be at higher position than the bottom when you pressurize the system.
Usually the cylinder is used in a vertical standing position.

Vacuum
Vacuum drying should be made from the service port provided on the outdoor unit’s service valve to the
vacuum pump commonly used for liquid pipe, gas pipe and high/low pressure common pipe. (Make Vacuum
from liquid pipe, gas pipe and high/low pressure common pipe with the service valve closed.)
* Never perform air purging using refrigerant.
• Vacuum drying: Use a vacuum pump that can evacuate to -100.7 kPa (5 Torr, -755 mmHg).
- Evacuate the system from the liquid and gas pipes with a vacuum pump for over 2 hrs and bring
the system to -100.7 kPa. After maintaining system under that condition for over 1 hr, confirm
the vacuum gauge rises. The system may contain moisture or leak.
- Following should be executed if there is a possibility of moisture remaining inside the pipe.
(Rainwater may enter the pipe during work in the rainy season or over a long period of time)
After evacuating the system for 2 hrs, give pressure to the system to 0.05 MPa(vacuum break)
with nitrogen gas and then evacuate it again with the vacuum pump for 1hr to -100.7 kPa(vac-
uum drying). If the system cannot be evacuated to -100.7 kPa within 2 hrs, repeat the steps of
vacuum break and its drying. Finally, check if the vacuum gauge does not rise or not, after main-
taining the system in vacuum for 1 hr.

Heat insulation of refrigerant piping


Be sure to give insulation work to refrigerant piping by covering liquid pipe and gas pipe sepa-
rately with enough thickness heat-resistant polyethylene, so that no gap is observed in the joint
between indoor unit and insulating material, and insulating materials themselves. When insula-
tion work is insufficient, there is a possibility of condensation drip, etc. Pay special attention to in-

CAUTION
- Follow ordinance of your governmental organization for technical standard related to electrical
equipment, wiring regulations and guidance of each electric power company.

! WARNING
Be sure to have authorized electrical engineers do the electric work using special circuits in
accordance with regulations and this installation manual. If power supply circuit has a lack of
capacity or electric work deficiency, it may cause an electric shock or fire.

- Install the Outdoor Unit communication cable away from the power source wiring so that it is not af-
fected by electric noise from the power source. (Do not run it through the same conduit.)
- Be sure to provide designated grounding work to Outdoor Unit.

! CAUTION
Be sure to correct the outdoor unit to earth. Do not connect ground wire to any gas pipe, liquid
pipe, lightening rod or telephone earth line. If earth is incomplete, it may cause an electric shock.

- Give some allowance to wiring for electrical part box of Indoor and Outdoor Units, because the
box is sometimes removed at the time of service work.
- Never connect the main power source to terminal block of communication cable. If connected,
electrical parts will be burnt out.
- Use 2-core shield cable for communication cable.(O mark in the figure below) If communication
cable of different systems are wired with the same multiplecore cable, the resultant poor trans-
mitting and receiving will cause erroneous operations. ( mark in the figure below)
- Only the communication cable specified should be connected to the terminal block for Outdoor
Unit communication.

• The conductive shielding layer of cable should be grounded to the metal part of both units.
• Never use multi-core cable
• As this unit is equipped with an inverter, to install a phase leading capacitor not only will deteri-
orate power factor improvement effect, but also may cause capacitor abnormal heating. There-
fore, never install a phase leading capacitor.
• Make sure that the power unbalance ratio is not greater than 2%. If it is greater the units lifes-
pan will be reduced.

Precautions when laying power wiring


Use round pressure terminals for connections to the power terminal block.
Power cable
Round pressure terminal

When none are available, follow the instructions below.


- Do not connect wiring of different thicknesses to the power terminal block.
(Slack in the power wiring may cause abnormal heat.)
- When connecting cable which is the same thickness, do as shown in the figure below.

- For wiring, use the designated power cable and connect firmly, then secure to prevent outside
pressure being exerted on the terminal block.
- Use an appropriate screwdriver for tightening the terinal screws. A screwdriver with a small
head will strip the head and make proper tighterning impossible.
- Over-tightening the terminal screws may break them.

! CAUTION
When the 400 volt power supply is applied to “N” phase by mistake, check damaged parts in
control box and replace them.

Separation of communication and power cables


- If communication and power cables are run alongside each other then there is a strong likeli-
hood of operational faults developing due to interference in the signal wiring caused by electro-
static and electromagnetic coupling.
The tables below indicates our recommendation as to appropriate spacing of communication
and power cables where these are to be run side by side

Current capacity of power cable Spacing


10 A 300 mm
50 A 500 mm
100V or more
100 A 1000 mm
Exceed 100 A 1500 mm

! NOTE
• The figures are based on assumed length of parallel cabling up to 100 m. For length in ex-
cess of 100 m the figures will have to be recalculated in direct proportion to the additional
length of cable involved.
• If the power supply waveform continues to exhibit some distortion the recommended
spacing in the table should be increased.
- If the cable are laid inside conduits then the following point must also be taken into ac-
count when grouping various cable together for introduction into the conduits
- Power cable(including power supply to air conditioner) and communication cables
must not be laid inside the same
- In the same way, when grouping the power wires and communication cables should not
be bunched together.

! CAUTION
If apparatus is not properly earthed then there is always a risk of electric shocks, the earthing of
the apparatus must be carried out by a qualified person.
ELECTRICAL WIRING 53

ENGLISH
Wiring of main power supply and equipment capacity
- Use a separate power supply for the Outdoor Unit and Indoor Unit.
- Bear in mind ambient conditions (ambient temperature,direct sunlight, rain water,etc.) when
proceeding with the wiring and connections.
- The cable size is the minimum value for metal conduit wiring. The power cord size should be 1
rank thicker taking into account the line voltage drops. Make sure the power-supply voltage
does not drop more than 10%.
- Specific wiring requirements should adhere to the wiring regulations of the region.
- Power supply cords of parts of appliances for outdoor use should not be lighter than polychloro-
prene sheathed flexible cord.
- Don't install an individual switch or electrical outlet to disconnect each of indoor unit separately
from the power supply.

! WARNING
• Follow ordinance of your governmental organization for technical standard related to elec-
trical equipment, wiring regulations and guidance of each electric power company.
• Make sure to use specified cables for connections so that no external force is imparted to
terminal connections. If connections are not fixed firmly, it may cause heating or fire.
• Make sure to use the appropriate type of overcurrent protection switch. Note that gener-
ated overcurrent may include some amount of direct current.

! CAUTION
• Some installation site may require attachment of an earth leakage breaker. If no earth leakage
breaker is installed, it may cause an electric shock.
• Do not use anything other than breaker and fuse with correct capacity. Using fuse and wire or
copper wire with too large capacity may cause a malfunction of unit or fire.

CAUTION FOR REFRIGERANT LEAK 81

ENGLISH
CAUTION FOR REFRIGERANT LEAK
The installer and system specialist shall secure safety against leakage according to local regula-
tions or standards.
The following standards may be applicable if local regulations are not available.

Introduction
Though the R410A refrigerant is harmless and incombustible itself , the room to equip the air
conditioner should be large to such an extent that the refrigerant gas will not exceed the limiting
concentration even if the refrigerant gas leaks in the room.
Limiting concentration

Limiting concentration is the limit of Freon gas concentration where immediate measures can
be taken without hurting human body when refrigerant leaks in the air. The limiting concen-
tration shall be described in the unit of kg/m3 (Freon gas weight per unit air volume) for facili-
tating calculation.
Limiting concentration: 0.44 kg/m3(R410A)

(Refrigerant of the whole No.1
system flows out.)

Checking procedure of limiting concentration


Check limiting concentration along following steps and take appropriate measure depending on
the situation.
Calculate amount of all the replenished refrigerant (kg) per each refrigerant system.
Amount of replenished Amount of additional = Total amount of replenished
refrigerant per one outdoor + replenished refrigerant refrigerant in refrigerant
unit system facility (kg)

Amount of replenished Amount of additionally Note : In case one refrigerant facility is


refrigerant at factory shipment replenished refrigerant divided into 2 or more refrigerant
depending on piping systems and each system is
length or piping independent, amount of replenished
diameter at customer refrigerant of each system shall be
adopted.

Calculate minimum room capacity

In case the concentration exceeds the limit


When the concentration exceeds the limit, change original plan or take one of the countermea-
sures shown below:
• Countermeasure 1
Provide opening for ventilation.
Provide 0.15 % or more opening to floor space both above and below door, or provide open-
