EXPANSION KIT Installation Brazing work CAUTION n Be sure to carry out a nitrogen blow when brazing. Brazing without carrying out nitrogen replacement or releasing nitrogen into the piping will create large quantities of oxidized film on the inside of the pipes, adversely affecting valves and compressors in the refrigerating system and preventing normal operation.
EXPANSION KIT Installation Pipe cutting work 1. Always use the copper pipe cutter when cutting the pipe. Copper pipe cutter CAUTION Tilted Rough n Always cut in a straight line for the cut part. Pipe 2. Always remove the burr. (Keep the end of the pipe facing down during the work and make sure that the burr does not get inside the pipe.) Pipe...

Leakage and vacuum test Leakage and vacuum test Leakage test Execute the leakage test in the same criteria as MULTI leakage test. Leakage test is done by apply nitrogen gas at 3.8MPa (38.7kgf/cm ). Refer to the following picture for the test method. (Test with the service valve closed and pressurize the liquid and gas pipe.) After the nitrogen gas is pressurized, the pressure must not drop for 24 hours.
Leakage and vacuum test - Add the accurate amount of refrigerant after the calculation. - If the amount of refrigerant is not accurate, it can cause problems to the product. - If the additionally inserted amount of refrigerant exceeds ±10%, the compressor can be burnt and the indoor unit can underperform.
