CONNECTING PIPES

Preparation of Piping

Main cause of gas leakage is defect in flaring work.

Carry out correct flaring work in the following procedure.

Cut the pipes and the cable.

  • Use the accessory piping kit or the pipes purchased locally.
  • Measure the distance between the indoor and the outdoor unit.
  • Cut the pipes a little longer than measured distance.
  • Cut the cable 1.5 m(4.9 ft) longer than the pipe length.

Burns removal

  • Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross section of pipe/tube.
  • Put the end of the copper tube/pipe to downward direction as you remove burrs in order to avoid to let chips drop in the tubing.

Putting nut on

- Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and outdoor units, than put them on pipe/tube having completed burr removal. (Not possible to put them on after flaring work)

Flaring work

- Carry out flaring work using dedicated flaring tool for R410A as shown below.

Forming the piping

Form the piping by wrapping the connecting portion of the indoor unit with insulation material and secure it with two kinds of vinyl tape.

- If you want to connect an additional drain hose, the end of the drain outlet should be routed above the ground. Secure the drain hose appropriately.

In cases where the outdoor unit is installed below the indoor unit perform the following.

1 Tape the piping, drain hose and connecting cable from down to up.
2 Secure the tapped piping along the exterior wall using saddle or equivalent.

LEAKAGE TEST AND EVACUATION

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.

LG AVUQ18GM1A1 - Leakage test - 1

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(551 psi) with dry nitrogen gas and close the cylinder valve when the gauge reading reached 3.8 MPa(551 psi) Next, test for leaks with liquid soap.

LG AVUQ18GM1A1 - CAUTION - 1

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.

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.

Required time for evacuation when 30 gal/h vacuum pump is used
If tubing length is less than 10 m(33 ft)If tubing length is longer than 10 m(33 ft)
30 min. or more 60min. or more
0.8 torr(mmHg) or less

- 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 counterclockwise 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.

TEST RUNNING

Precautions In Test Running

- The initial power supply must provide at least 90% of the rated voltage. Otherwise, the air conditioner should not be operated.

LG AVUQ18GM1A1 - Precautions In Test Running - 1

CAUTION

For test run, carry out the cooling operation firstly even during heating season. If heating operation is carried out firstly, it leads to the trouble of compressor. Then attention must be paid. Carry out the test run more than 5 minutes without fail. (Test run will be cancelled 18 minutes later automatically)

  • The test run is started by pressing the room temperature checking button and down timer button for 3 seconds at the same time.
  • To cancel the test run, press any button.

CHECK THE FOLLOWING ITEMS SWENNSISIALATIONS IS COMPLETE

  • After completing work, be sure to measure and record trial run properties, and store measured data, etc.
  • Measuring items are room temperature, outside temperature, suction temperature, blow out temperature, wind velocity, wind volume, voltage, current, presence of abnormal vibration and noise, operating pressure, piping temperature, compressive pressure.
  • As to the structure and appearance, check following items.

☐ Is the circulation of air adequate?
□ Is the draining smooth?
☐ Is the heat insulation complete (refrigerant and drain piping)?

INSTALLATION GUIDE AT THE SEASIDE

LG AVUQ18GM1A1 - INSTALLATION GUIDE AT THE SEASIDE - 1

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.

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.

In case, to install the outdoor unit on the seaside, set up a windbreak not to be exposed to the sea wind.

LG AVUQ18GM1A1 - Selecting the location(Outdoor Unit) - 1

text_image Windbreak 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.
  • It should be keep more than 70 cm of space between outdoor unit and the windbreak for easy air flow.

Select a well-drained place.
