ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE REFRIGERANT 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.

LG ARUV180LTS4 - ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE REFRIGERANT R410A - 1

CAUTION

  • The wall thickness of the piping should comply with the relevant local and national regulations for the designed pressure 3.8MPa
  • 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.

Select space for installing outdoor unit, which will meet the following conditions:

  • No direct thermal radiation from other heat sources
  • No possibility of annoying neighbors by noise from unit
  • No exposition to strong wind
  • With strength which bears weight of unit
  • Note that drain flows out of unit when heating
  • With space for air passage and service work shown next
  • Because of the possibility of fire, do not install unit to the space where generation, inflow, stagnation, and leakage of combustible gas is expected.

- Avoid unit installation in a place where acidic solution and spray (sulfur) are often used.

- Do not use unit under any special environment where oil, steam and sulfuric gas exist.

- It is recommended to fence round the outdoor unit in order to prevent any person or animal from accessing the outdoor unit.

- If installation site is area of heavy snowfall, then the following directions should be observed.

- Make the foundation as high as possible.

- Fit a snow protection hood.

- Select installation location considering following conditions to avoid bad condition when additionally performing defrost operation.

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 1.5m longer than the pipe length.

Burrs 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 burrs drop in the tubing.

Flaring work

- Carry out flaring work using flaring tool as shown below.

Opening shutoff valve

1 Remove the cap and turn the valve counter clockwise with the hexagon wrench.
2 Turn it until the shaft stops.
Do not apply excessive force to the shutoff valve. Doing so may break the valve body, as the valve is not a backseat type. Always use the special tool.
3 Make sure to tighten the cap securely.

Closing shutoff valve

1 Remove the cap and turn the valve clockwise with the hexagon wrench.

2 Securely tighten the valve until the shaft contacts the main body seal.

3 Make sure to tighten the cap securely.

* For the tightening torque, refer to the table on the below.

Insulation of shutoff valve

1 Use the heat insulation material for the refrigerant piping which has an excellent heat-resistance (over 120^ C).

2 Precautions in high humidity circumstance:

This air conditioner has been tested according to the "ISO Conditions with Mist" and confirmed that there is not any default. However, if it is operated for a long time in high humid atmosphere (dew point temperature: more than 23°C), water drops are liable to fall. In this case, add heat insulation material according to the following procedure:

  • Heat insulation material to be prepared... EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Methylene)-over 120°C the heat-resistance temperature.
  • Add the insulation over 10mm thickness at high humidity environment.

Plumbing materials and storage methods

Pipe must be able to obtain the specified thickness and should be used with low impurities. Also when handling storage, pipe must be careful to prevent a fracture, deformity and wound. Should not be mixed with contaminations such as dust, moisture.

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.

LG ARUV180LTS4 - Nitrogen substitution method - 1

text_image Welding Point Regulator Nitrogen gas Pressure 0.02MPa less Oxide scale Taping (Should not contain air) Auxiliary valve Nitrogen Note) should not block the outlet side. When the internal pressure in pipe is above the atmospheric pressure, pinhole is o curred and it is a leakage cause.

CAUTION

1 Always use the nitrogen.(not use oxygen, carbon dioxide, and a Chevron gas):

Please use the following nitrogen pressure 0.02MPa

Oxygen – Promotes oxidative degradation of refrigerant oil.

Because it is flammable, it is strictly prohibited to use

Carbon dioxide – Degrade the drying characteristics of gas

Chevron Gas – Toxic gas occurs when exposed to direct flame.

2 Always use a pressure reducing valve.

  1. Please do not use commercially available antioxidant.

The residual material seems to be the oxide scale is observed.

In fact, due to the organic acids generated by oxidation of the alcohol contained in the antioxidants, ants nest corrosion occurs. (causes of organic acid alcohol + copper + water + temperature)

REFRIGERANT PIPING INSTALLATION

Precautions on Pipe connection / Valve operation

Pipe connection is done by connecting from the end of the pipe to the branching pipes, and the refrigerant pipe coming out of the outdoor unit is divided at the end to connect to each indoor unit. Flare connection for the indoor unit, and welding connection for the outdoor pipe and the branching parts.

- Use hexagonal wrench to open/close the valve.

LG ARUV180LTS4 - Precautions on Pipe connection / Valve operation - 1

text_image Service Port Liquid pipe Gas pipe Refrigerant Charging Port

WARNING

• Always careful not to leak the refrigerant during welding.
- The refrigerant generates poisonous gas harmful to human body if combusted.
- Do not perform welding in a closed space.
- Be sure to close the cap of the service port to prevent gas leakage after the work.

! CAUTION

Please block the pipe knock outs of the front and side panels after installing the pipes. (Animals or foreign objects may be brought in to damage wires.)

PIPE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR UNIT

- Pipe connections can be done on the front side or on the side according to the installation environments.

- Be sure to let 0.2kaf/cm2 Nitrogen flow in the pipe when welding.

- If Nitrogen was not flown during welding, many oxidized membranes may form inside the pipe and disturb the normal operations of valves and condensers.

Outdoor unit Connection

! WARNING

- In case of pipe diameter B connected after first branch is bigger than the main pipe diameter A, B should be of the same size with A.

Ex) In case indoor unit combination ratio 120% is connected to 24HP(67.2 kW) outdoor unit.

1) Outdoor unit main pipe diameter A : ∅34.9(Gas pipe), ∅15.88(liquid pipe)
2) Pipe diameter B after first branch according to 120% indoor unit ombination(80.6kW): ∅34.9(gas pipe), ∅19.05(liquid pipe)
Therefore, pipe diameter B connected after first branch would be ∅34.9(gas pipe) / ∅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 (2.2kW) indoor unit at the 1st branch.

1) Main pipe diameter(22 HP outdoor unit): ∅28.58(gas pipe), ∅15.88(Liquid pipe)
2) Pipe diameter between 1st and 2nd branch (77.9kW indoor units): ∅34.9(Gas pipe), ∅19.05(Liquid pipe) in conformity with downward indoor units.
Since the main pipe diameter of 22HP outdoor unit is ∅28.58(gas pipe), ∅15.88(Liquid pipe) is used as the main pipe and the connection pipe between 1st and 2nd branch.

$$ \leq 0. 4 4 \left(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m} ^ {3}\right) $$

If the above equation can not be satisfied, then follow the following steps.

- Selection of air conditioning system: select one of the next

  • Installation of effective opening part
  • Reconfirmation of Outdoor Unit capacity and piping length
  • Reduction of the amount of refrigerant
  • Installation of 2 or more security device (alarm for gas leakage)

- Change Indoor Unit type

: installation position should be over 2m from the floor (Wall mounted type → Cassette type)

- Adoption of ventilation system

: choose ordinary ventilation system or building ventilation system

- Limitation in piping work

: Prepare for earthquake and thermal stress

Leak Test and Vacuum drying

Leak test

Leak test should be made by pressurizing nitrogen gas to 3.8 MPa(38.7kgf/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 compress air or Oxygen and do not use Flammable gases. Otherwise, it may cause fire or explosion.

- There is the risk of death, injury, fire or explosion.

LG ARUV180LTS4 - WARNING - 1

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.

LG ARUV180LTS4 - NOTE - 1

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 -100.7kPa (5 Torr, -755mmHg).
- Evacuate the system from the liquid and gas pipes with a vacuum pump for over 2 hrs and bring the system to -100.7kPa. 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 0.05MPa(vacuum break) with nitrogen gas and then evacuate it again with the vacuum pump for 1hr to -100.7kPa(vacuum drying). If the system cannot be evacuated to -100.7kPa within 2 hrs, repeat the steps of vacuum break and its drying. Finally, check if the vacuum gauge does not rise or not, after maintaining the system in vacuum for 1 hr.

Thermal insulation of refrigerant piping

Be sure to give insulation work to refrigerant piping by covering liquid pipe and gas pipe separately 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 insulation work is insufficient, there is a possibility of condensation drip, etc. Pay special attention to insulation work to ceiling plenum.

ELECTRICAL WIRING

Caution

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

LG ARUV180LTS4 - Caution - 1

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 affected 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.

LG ARUV180LTS4 - WARNING - 1

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 transmitting 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.

2-Core Shield Cable Multi-Core Cable

LG ARUV180LTS4 - CAUTION - 5

CAUTION

  • Use the 2-core shield cables for communication cables. Never use them together with power cables.
  • 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 deteriorate power factor improvement effect, but also may cause capacitor abnormal heating. Therefore, never install a phase leading capacitor.
  • Make sure that the power unbalance ratio is not greater than 2%. If it is greater the units lifespan will be reduced.

Precautions when laying power wiring

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

LG ARUV180LTS4 - Precautions when laying power wiring - 1

text_image Round pressure terminal Power cable

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.

LG ARUV180LTS4 - Precautions when laying power wiring - 2

LG ARUV180LTS4 - Precautions when laying power wiring - 3

LG ARUV180LTS4 - Precautions when laying power wiring - 4

  • 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 terminal screws. A screwdriver with a small head will strip the head and make proper tightening impossible.
  • Over-tightening the terminal screws may break them.

LG ARUV180LTS4 - Precautions when laying power wiring - 5

CAUTION

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

Control box and connecting position of wiring

  • Remove all of the screws at front panel and remove the panel by pulling it forward.
  • Connect communication cable between main and sub outdoor unit through the terminal block.
  • Connect communication cables between outdoor unit and indoor units through the terminal block.
  • When the central control system is connected to the outdoor unit, a dedicated PCB must be connected between them.
  • When connecting communication cable between outdoor unit and indoor units with shielded cable, connect the shield ground to the earth screw.

Simple central controller 4-core cable (Shielding cable) 1.0~1.5mm ^2

Separation of communication and power cables

- If communication and power cables are run alongside each other then there is a strong likelihood of operational faults developing due to interference in the signal wiring caused by electrostatic and electromagnetic coupling.

The tables below indicate 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
100V or more10A 300mm
50A 500mm
100A 1000mm
Exceed 100A 1500mm

LG ARUV180LTS4 - Separation of communication and power cables - 1

NOTE

  • The figures are based on assumed length of parallel cabling up to 100m. For length in excess of 100m 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 account 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.

LG ARUV180LTS4 - NOTE - 1

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.

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 polychloroprene sheathed flexible cord.
  • Don't install an individual switch or electrical outlet to disconnect each of indoor unit separately from the power supply.

LG ARUV180LTS4 - Wiring of main power supply and equipment capacity - 1

WARNING

  • Follow ordinance of your governmental organization for technical standard related to electrical 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 generated overcurrent may include some amount of direct current.

LG ARUV180LTS4 - WARNING - 1

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.

<h1 id="warning-19">WARNING</h1>

- Indoor Unit ground wires are required for preventing electrical shock accident during current leakage, Communication disorder by noise effect and motor current leakage (without connection to pipe).   
- Don't install an individual switch or electrical outlet to disconnect each of indoor unit separately from the power supply.   
• Install the main switch that can interrupt all the power sources in an integrated manner because this system consists of the equipment utilizing the multiple power sources.   
- If there exists the possibility of reversed phase, lose phase, momentary blackout or the power goes on and off while the product is operating, attach a reversed phase protection circuit locally. Running the product in reversed phase may break the compressor and other parts.

CAUTION FOR REFRIGERANT LEAK

The installer and system specialist shall secure safety against leakage according to local regulations 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 concentration shall be described in the unit of kg/m3 (Freon gas weight per unit air volume) for facilitating calculation.

Limiting concentration: 0.44kg/m3(R410A)

    B --> C["Flow of refrigerant"]
    C --> D["Room where refrigerant leaks (Refrigerant of the whole No.1 system flows out.)"]
    D --> E["Indoor unit"]

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.

LG ARUV180LTS4 - Checking procedure of limiting concentration - 1

text_image Amount of replenished refrigerant per one outdoor + unit system | Amount of replenished refrigerant at factory shipment Amount of additional replenished refrigerant = Total amount of replenished refrigerant in refrigerant facility (kg) | Amount of additionally replenished refrigerant depending on piping length or piping diameter at customer Note : In case one refrigerant facility is divided into 2 or more refrigerant systems and each system is independent, amount of replenished refrigerant of each system shall be adopted.

Calculate minimum room capacity

Calculate room capacity by regarding a portion as one room or the smaller room.

- Without partition - With partition and with opening which serve

as passage of air to adjoining room

LG ARUV180LTS4 - Calculate refrigerant concentration - 1

text_image Total amount of replenished refrigerant in refrigerant facility (kg) Capacity of smallest room where indoor unit is installed (m³) = Refrigerant concentration I (kg/m³) (R410A)

In case the result of calculation exceeds the limiting concentration, perform the same calculations by shifting to the second smallest, and the third smallest rooms until at last the result is below the limiting concentration.

In case the concentration exceeds the limit

When the concentration exceeds the limit, change original plan or take one of the countermeasures shown below:

• Countermeasure 1

Provide opening for ventilation.

Provide 0.15% or more opening to floor space both above and below door, or provide opening without door.

- Countermeasure 2

Provide gas leak alarm linked with mechanical ventilator.

Reducing the outdoor refrigerant qty.

Pay a special attention to the place, such as a basement, etc. where refrigerant can stay, since refrigerant is heavier than air.

INSTALLATION GUIDE AT THE SEASIDE

! 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.

LG ARUV180LTS4 - Selecting the location(Outdoor Unit) - 1

text_image Sea wind ↓ Sea wind

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

LG ARUV180LTS4 - Selecting the location(Outdoor Unit) - 2

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.

- Periodic (more than once/year) cleaning of the dust or salt particles stuck on the heat exchanger by using water
