LEAKAGE TEST AND EVACUATION 17
Air and moisture remaining in the refrigerant system have undesirable effects as indicated below.
- Pressure in the system rises.
- Operating current rises.
- Cooling (or heating) efficiency drops.
- Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block capillary tubing.
- Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigeration system.
Therefore, the indoor/outdoor unit and connecting tube must be checked for leak tight, and vacuumed to remove incondensible gas and moisture in the system.
Preparation
- Check that each tube (both liquid and gas side tubes) between the indoor and outdoor units
have been properly connected and all wiring for the test run have been completed. Remove the
service valve caps from both the gas and the liquid side on the outdoor unit. Check that both the
liquid and the gas side service valves on the outdoor unit are kept closed at this stage.
Leakage test
- Connect the manifold valve (with pressure gauges) and dry nitrogen gas cylinder to this service
port with charge hoses.
! CAUTION
Be sure to use a manifold valve for leakage test. If it is not available, use a stop valve for this
purpose. The "Hi" knob of the manifold valve must always be kept close.
- Pressurize the system to no more than 3.8 MPa with dry nitrogen gas and close the cylinder
valve when the gauge reading reached 3.8 MPa Next, test for leaks with liquid soap.
! CAUTION
To avoid nitrogen entering the refrigerant system in a liquid state, the top of the cylinder must
be higher than its bottom when you pressurize the system. Usually, the cylinder is used in a vertical standing position.
ENGLISH
LEAKAGE TEST AND EVACUATION
18 LEAKAGE TEST AND EVACUATION
ENGLISH
1 Do a leakage test of all joints of the tubing
(both Indoor unit and outdoor unit) and
both gas and liquid side service valves.
Bubbles indicate a leak. Be sure to wipe
off the soap with a clean cloth.
2 After the system is found to be free of
leaks, relieve the nitrogen pressure by
loosening the charge hose connector at
the nitrogen cylinder. When the system
pressure is reduced to normal, disconnect
the hose from the cylinder.

Evacuation
- Connect the charge hose end described in the
preceding steps to the vacuum pump to evacuate the tubing and indoor unit. Confirm the
"Lo and Hi" knob of the manifold valve is open.
Then, run the vacuum pump. The operation
time for evacuation varies with tubing length
and capacity of the pump. The following table
shows the time required for evacuation.
- When the desired vacuum is reached, close
the "Lo and Hi" knob of the manifold valve
and stop the vacuum pump.

Finishing the job
- With a service valve wrench, turn the valve
stem of liquid side valve counter-clockwise
to fully open the valve.
- Turn the valve stem of gas side valve counter-clockwise to fully open the valve.
- Loosen the charge hose connected to the
gas side service port slightly to release the
pressure, then remove the hose.
- Replace the flare nut and its bonnet on the
gas side service port and fasten the flare nut
securely with an adjustable wrench. This
process is very important to prevent leakage
from the system.
- Replace the valve caps at both gas and liquid
side service valves and fasten them tight.
This completes air purging with a vacuum
pump.
The air conditioner is now ready to test run.

1 Never fail to have an individual power specialized for the air conditioner. As for the method of
wiring, be guided by the circuit diagram pasted on the inside of control box cover.
2 Provide a circuit breaker switch between power source and the unit.
3 The screw which fasten the wiring in the casing of electrical fittings are liable to come loose
from vibrations to which the unit is subjected during the course of transportation. Check
them and make sure that they are all tightly fastened. (If they are loose, it could give rise to
burn-out of the wires.)
4 Specification of power source
5 Confirm that electrical capacity is sufficient.
6 Be sure that the starting voltage is maintained at more than 90 percent of the rated voltage
marked on the name plate.
7 Confirm that the cable thickness is as specified in the power sources specification.
(Particularly note the relation between cable length and thickness.)
8 Never fail to equip a leakage breaker where it is wet or moist.
9 The following troubles would be caused by voltage drop-down.
- Vibration of a magnetic switch, damage on the contact point there of fuse breaking, disturbance to the normal function of a overload protection device.
- Proper starting power is not given to the compressor.
10 Use only 1 remote-controller contained in indoor unit, when using simultaneous operation
system as shown below.
After setting the ESP value in the Ceiling Concealed Duct Type Indoor Unit, the main power
turns off and then remove the remote controller. (Only for synchro combination, over
36kBtu/h)
HAND OVER
Teach the customer the operation and maintenance procedures, using the operation manual
(air filter cleaning, temperature control, etc.).

AT THE SEASIDE
Windbreak
! CAUTION
• Air conditioners should not be installed
in areas where corrosive gases, such as
acid or alkaline gas, are produced.
• Do not install the product where it could
be exposed to sea wind (salty wind)
directly. It can result corrosion on the
product. Corrosion, particularly on the
condenser and evaporator fins, could
cause product malfunction or inefficient
performance.
• If outdoor unit is installed close to the
seaside, it should avoid direct exposure
to the sea wind. Otherwise it needs
additional anticorrosion treatment on the
heat exchanger.
Sea wind
- It should be strong enough like concrete to
prevent the sea wind from the sea.
- The height and width should be more than
150% of the outdoor unit.
- More than 70cm of space should be kept
between outdoor unit and the windbreak for
easy air flow.
Place with fluent water draining
- Install at a place with fluent water draining to
prevent damage from localized heavy rain and
avoid frequent flooded area.
Selecting the location (Outdoor Unit)
If the outdoor unit is to be installed close to
the seaside, direct exposure to the sea wind
should be avoided. Install the outdoor unit on
the opposite side of the sea wind direction.

Sea wind
In case, to install the outdoor unit on the
seaside, set up a windbreak not to be exposed
to the sea wind.
• Periodic ( more than once/year ) cleaning of the dust or salt particles stuck on
the heat exchanger by using water.
SEASONAL WIND AND
CAUTIONS IN WINTER
- Sufficient measures are required in a snow
area or severe cold area in winter so that
product can operate well.
- Get ready for seasonal wind or snow in winter even in other areas.
- Install a suction and discharge duct not to let
in snow or rain.
- Install the outdoor unit not to come in contact
with snow directly. If snow piles up and
freezes on the air suction hole, the system
may malfunction. If it is installed at snowy
area, attach the hood to the system.
- Install the outdoor unit at the higher installation console by 50cm than the average snowfall (annual average snowfall) if it is installed
at the area with much snowfall.
- Where snow accumulated on the upper part
of the Outdoor Unit by more than 10cm,
always remove snow for operation.
