Precaution for using R32 refrigerant

The basic installation work procedures are the same as conventional refrigerant (R410A, R22) models.

PANASONIC CS-RU12AKD - Precaution for using R32 refrigerant - 1

Since the working pressure is higher than that of refrigerant R22 models, some of the piping and installation and service tools are special.

Especially, when replacing a refrigerant R22 model with a new refrigerant R32 model, always replace the conventional piping and flare nuts with the R32 and R410A piping and flare nuts on the outdoor unit side.

For R32 and R410A, the same flare nut on the outdoor unit side and pipe can be used.

Models that use refrigerant R32 and R410A have a different charging port thread diameter to prevent erroneous charging with refrigerant R22 and for safety.

Therefore, check beforehand. [The charging port thread diameter for R32 and R410A is 1/2 inch.] Be more careful than R22 so that foreign matter (oil, water, etc.) does not enter the piping.

Also, when storing the piping, securely seal the opening by pinching, taping, etc. (Handling of R32 is similar to R410A.)

WHEN INSTALLING AN AIR CONDITIONER, BE SURE TO EVACUATE THE AIR INSIDE THE INDOOR UNIT AND PIPES in the following procedure.

PANASONIC CS-RU12AKD - Connecting The Piping to Outdoor - 1

Do not purge the air with refrigerants but use a vacuum pump to vacuum the installation.

PANASONIC CS-RU12AKD - Connecting The Piping to Outdoor - 2

There is no extra refrigerant in the outdoor unit for air purging.

  1. Connect a charging hose with a push pin to the Low side of a charging set and the service port of the 3-way valve.
  2. Be sure to connect the end of the charging hose with the push pin to the service port.
  3. Connect the center hose of the charging set to a vacuum pump.
  4. Turn on the power switch of the vacuum pump and make sure that the needle in the gauge moves from 0 cmHg (0 MPa) to -76 cmHg (-0.1 MPa). Then evacuate the air approximately ten minutes.
  5. Close the Low side valve of the charging set and turn off the vacuum pump. Make sure that the needle in the gauge does not move after approximately five minutes. Note : BE SURE TO TAKE THIS PROCEDURE IN ORDER TO AVOID REFRIGERANT GAS LEAKAGE.
  6. Disconnect the charging hose from the vacuum pump and from the service port of the 3-way valve.
  7. Tighten the service port caps of the 3-way valve at a torque of 18 N·m with a torque wrench.
  8. Remove the valve caps of both of the 2-way valve and 3-way valve. Position both of the valves to "OPEN" using a hexagonal wrench (4 mm).
  9. Mount valve caps onto the 2-way valve and the 3-way valve.

- Be sure to check for gas leakage.

- If gauge needle does not move from 0 cmHg (0 MPa) to -76 cmHg (-0.1 MPa), in step ③ above take the following measure:

  • If the leak stops when the piping connections are tightened further, continue working from step ③.
  • If the leak does not stop when the connections are retightened, repair location of leak.
  • Do not release refrigerant during piping work for installation and reinstallation.
  • Take care of the liquid refrigerant, it may cause frostbite.

EVALUATION OF THE PERFORMANCE

  • Operate the unit at cooling/heating operation mode for fifteen minutes or more.
    • Measure the temperature of the intake and discharge air.

Pump Down Method When Reuse Existing Piping (R22 Model) for R32 Model

Compressor oil of R22 model is insoluble in compressor oil of R32 model. The mixing of compressor oil may cause damage of compressor.

Possibility of Mixing

■ Reuse of piping of R22 model is dangerous because of its compressor oil.
■ Reuse the piping of R22 model only when it is unavoidable, eg. concealed piping.
■ When reuse piping of R22 model, pump down must be carried out properly to ensure compressor oil which is remained inside piping is collected away.

To Reuse Old Piping

■ Piping of R22 model can be reused only when air-conditioner is properly pumped down.
■ The purpose of pump down is to collect back the compressor oil (which is mixed with refrigerant and circulating inside refrigeration cycle) properly into the outdoor unit of air conditioner.

Proper Pump Down Method

① Operate air conditioner at cooling mode for 10 \~ 15 minutes.

Most Important Process Purpose: To make the oil & refrigerant mix together. They are in separated condition when air conditioner is stopped.

② After 10 \~ 15 minutes of pre operation, close 2 way valve. After 3 minutes, close 3 way valve.

Mixed refrigerant & oil will be collected into outdoor unit.

③ Take out air conditioner unit.

PANASONIC CS-RU12AKD - Proper Pump Down Method - 3

④ Install new refrigerant air conditioner

PANASONIC CS-RU12AKD - Proper Pump Down Method - 4

In case pump down cannot be done. Please flush the piping using R32 refrigerant. Must do re-flare of pipe before connecting to units.

Safety Precautions while Installation

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

  • Read the following "SAFETY PRECAUTIONS" carefully before installation.
  • Electrical work must be installed by a licensed electrician. Be sure to use the correct rating of the power plug and main circuit for the model to be installed.
  • Incorrect installation due to ignoring of the instruction will cause harm or damage, and the seriousness is classified by the following indications.

WARNING

  • Do not install outdoor unit near handrail of veranda. When installing air-conditioner unit on veranda of a high rise building, child may climb up to outdoor unit and cross over the handrail causing an accident.
  • Do not insert your fingers or other objects into the unit, high speed rotating fan may cause injury.
  • Do not sit or step on the unit, you may fall down accidentally.
  • Keep plastic bag (packaging material) away from small children, it may cling to nose and mouth and prevent breathing.
  • When installing or relocating air conditioner, do not let any substance other than the specified refrigerant, eg. air etc mix
    into refrigeration cycle (piping). Mixing of air etc. will cause abnormal high pressure in refrigeration cycle and result in explosion, injury etc.
  • Do not add or replace refrigerant other than specified type. It may cause product damage, burst and injury etc.
  • Do not perform flare connection inside a building or dwelling or room, when joining the heat exchanger of indoor unit with interconnecting piping. Refrigerant connection inside a building or dwelling or room must be made by brazing or welding. Joint connection of indoor unit by flaring method can only be made at outdoor or at outside of a building or dwelling or room. Flare connection may cause gas leak and flammable atmospheres.
  • For R32/R410A model, use piping, flare nut and tools which is specified for R32/R410A refrigerant. Using of existing (R22) piping, flare nut and tools may cause abnormally high pressure in the refrigerant cycle (piping), and possibly result in explosion and injury. For R32 and R410A, the same flare nut on the outdoor unit side and pipe can be used.
    Since the working pressure for R32/R410A is higher than that of refrigerant R22 model, replacing conventional piping and flare nuts on the outdoor unit side are recommended.
  • If reuse piping is unavoidable, refer to instruction "IN CASE OF REUSING EXISTING REFRIGERANT PIPING"
    • Thickness of copper pipes used with R32/R410A must be more than 0.6 mm. Never use copper pipes thinner than 0.5 mm.
  • It is desirable that the amount of residual oil less than 40 mg/10 m.
  • Engage authorized dealer or specialist for installation. If installation done by the user is incorrect, it will cause water leakage, electrical shock or fire.
  • For refrigeration system work, install according to this installation instructions strictly. If installation is defective, it will cause water leakage, electrical shock or fire.
    • Use the attached accessories parts and specified parts for installation. Otherwise, it will cause the set to fall, water leakage, fire or electrical shock.
    • Install at a strong and firm location which is able to withstand weight of the set. If the strength is not enough or installation is not properly done, the set will drop and cause injury.
  • For electrical work, follow the national regulation, legislation and this installation instructions. An independent circuit and single outlet must be used. If electrical circuit capacity is not enough or defect found in the electrical work, it will cause electrical shock or fire.
  • Do not use joint cable for indoor / outdoor connection cable. Use the specified indoor/outdoor connection cable, refer to instruction ⑤ CONNECT THE CABLE TO THE INDOOR UNIT and connect tightly for indoor/outdoor connection. Clamp the cable so that no external force will have impact on the terminal. If connection or fixing is not perfect, it will cause heat up or fire at the connection.
  • Wire routing must be properly arranged so that control board cover is fixed properly. If control board cover is not fixed perfectly, it will cause fire or electrical shock.
  • This equipment is strongly recommended to be installed with Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) or Residual Current Device (RCD), with sensitivity of 30mA at 0.1 sec or less. Otherwise, it may cause electrical shock and fire in case of equipment breakdown or insulation breakdown.
  • During installation, install the refrigerant piping properly before running the compressor. Operation of compressor without fixing refrigeration piping and valves at opened position will cause suck-in of air, abnormal high pressure in refrigeration cycle and result in explosion, injury etc.
  • During pump down operation, stop the compressor before removing the refrigeration piping. Removal of refrigeration piping while compressor is operating and valves are opened will cause suck-in of air, abnormal high pressure in refrigeration cycle and result in explosion, injury etc.
  • Tighten the flare nut with torque wrench according to specified method. If the flare nut is over-tightened, after a long period, the flare may break and cause refrigerant gas leakage.
    • After completion of installation, confirm there is no leakage of refrigerant gas. It may generate toxic gas when the refrigerant contacts with fire.
    • Ventilate if there is refrigerant gas leakage during operation. It may cause toxic gas when the refrigerant contacts with fire.
  • Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an odour.

CAUTION

  • Do not install the unit in a place where leakage of flammable gas may occur. In case gas leaks and accumulates at surrounding of the unit, it may cause fire.
    • Prevent liquid or vapor from entering sumps or sewers since vapor is heavier than air and may form suffocating atmospheres.
    Do not release refrigerant during piping work for installation, re-installation and during repairing refrigeration parts. Take care of the liquid refrigerant, it may cause frostbite.
  • Do not install this appliance in a laundry room or other location where water may drip from the ceiling, etc.
  • Do not touch the sharp aluminium fin, sharp parts may cause injury.
  • Carry out drainage piping as mentioned in installation instructions. If drainage is not perfect, water may enter the room and damage the furniture.
  • Select an installation location which is easy for maintenance. Incorrect installation, service or repair of this air conditioner may increase the risk of rupture and this may result in loss damage or injury and/or property.
    Power supply connection to the room air conditioner.
    Use power supply cord 3 x 1.5 mm² (1.5 \~ 2.0HP), 3 x 2.5 mm² (2.5HP) type designation ISO 694 or 60245 IEC 57 or heavier cord.
    Connect the power supply cord of the air conditioner to the mains using one of the following method.
    Power supply point should be in easily accessible place for power disconnection in case of emergency.
    • In some countries, permanent connection of this air conditioner to the power supply is prohibited.
    1) Power supply connection to the receptacle using power plug.
    Use an approved 15/16A (1.0 \~ 1.5HP) or 16A (2.0HP) or 20A (2.5HP) power plug with earth pin for the connection to the socket.
    2) Power supply connection to a circuit breaker for the permanent connection.
    Use an approved 16A (1.0 \~ 2.0HP) or 20A (2.5HP) circuit breaker for the permanent connection. It must be a double pole switch with a minimum 3.0 mm contact gap.
