5 1 removing the pinched connecting pipes 25

5 piping connections and valve operations 25

Before heating the brazed sections remove the gas and oil that are trapped in the pipes failure to do so may generate fire resulting in serious injury 25

Braze the pipes with a nitrogen purge to avoid oxidation oxidized flux inside the refrigerant pipes will cause the refrigerant oil to deteriorate and cause the compressor to malfunction 25

Keep the flame out of contact with the cables and metal sheet when brazing the pipes failure to do so may result in burnout or malfunction 25

Keep the service valves closed until refrigerant charging is completed failure to do so will damage the unit 25

Place a wet towel on the service valves before brazing the pipes to keep the temperature of the valves from rising above 120ºc 248ºf failure to do so may result in equipment damage 25

Store pipes indoors and keep both ends of the pipes sealed until just before making a flare connection or brazing store elbows and other joints in plastic bags if dust dirt or water enters the refrigerant lines the refrigerant oil will deteriorate and the compressor will malfunction 25

The unit is shipped with the pinched connecting pipes attached to the liquid and gas side service valves to prevent gas leakage take the following steps ① through ③ to remove the pinched connecting pipes before connecting refrigerant pipes to the outdoor unit ① check that the service valves are fully closed turned clockwise all the way ② remove the gas in the pinched connecting pipes and drain out all the refrigerant oil see below ③ remove the pinched connecting pipes see below 25

Ventilate the room while servicing the unit if the refrigerant leaks oxygen deficiency may result if the leaked refrigerant comes in contact with a heat source toxic gas will be generated 25

5 2 connecting pipes 26

Refer to section 5 package contents for details about the supplied connecting pipes when connecting pipes make sure the service valves are completely closed commercially available pipes often contain dust or debris always blow them clean with a dry inert gas take care to prevent dust water or other contaminants from entering the pipes during installation reduce the number of bending portions as much as possible and make the bending radius as big as possible do not use any commercially available anti oxidizing agents since they may cause pipe corrosion and degrading of the refrigerant oil please contact mitsubishi electric for more details make sure that the pipes are not in contact with each other unit panels or base plates 1 when routing the pipes through the front of the unit 2 when routing the pipes through the bottom of the unit 26

5 3 sealing the openings around the pipes 28

6 air tightness test 28

After refrigerant pipe installation is completed check the system for leaks by conducting an air tightness test if there is a leak the composition of the refrigerant will change and the performance will drop 28

Do not use oxygen flammable gas or a refrigerant containing chlorine for air tightness testing doing so may result in an explosion chlorine will deteriorate the refrigerant oil 28

Seal all openings around pipes and wires to keep out small animals rainwater or snow failure to do so may result in current leakage electric shock or damage to the unit 28

When expanding the on site piping satisfy the minimum insertion depth requirement as follows 28

① make sure the service valves are closed ② add pressure to the refrigerant pipes through the service ports of the liquid and gas pipes 28

③ if the pressure holds for one day and does not decrease the pipes have passed the test and there are no leaks if the pressure decreases there is a leak look for the source of the leak by spraying a bubbling agent e g gupoflex on the flared or brazed sections ④ wipe off the bubbling agent 28
