2 NEW REFRIGERANT (R410A)
This Air to Water Heat Pump adopts a new refrigerant HFC (R410A) to prevent destruction of the ozone layer.
The working pressure of R410A refrigerant is 1.6 times higher than that of the conventional refrigerant R22.The
refrigerant oil is also changed for the new refrigeration. Therefore, during installation or service work, be sure that
water, dust, former refrigerant, or refrigeration machine oil does not enter the refrigerant cycle of the new type
refrigerant Air to Water Heat Pump. A wrong installation or service operation may cause a serious accident.
Read carefully the following instructions to use the tools or members for R410A for safety work.
2-1. Safety During Installation and Service
• Use only the refrigerant R410A for Air to Water Heat Pump using R410A.
A mixture of R410A with different ones excessively raises the pressure in a refrigerant cycle, leading to an injury
due to burst.
• Check the refrigerant name to use the tools and members appropriate for the refrigerant.
A product using the refrigerant R410A has the refrigerant name prominently displayed on its outdoor unit. In
addition, the diameter of the service port is changed from that of the conventional R22 to prevent incorrect filling.
• Ventilate if refrigerant gas leaks during service work.
Should refrigerant gas catch fire, poisonous gases may be produced. A closed room full of leaking refrigerant
results in the absence of oxygen; it is dangerous. Make sure to ventilate.
• When the refrigerant cycle is refilled with refrigerant, do not mix air or refrigerants other than the specified
refrigerant, R410A.
A mixture of R410A with air or an inappropriate substance causes excessive high pressure inside the refrigerant
cycle, leading to an injury due to burst.
• Check that no refrigerant gas leaks after the installation is completed.
Should a refrigerant gas leak in a room and catch fire, poisonous gases may be produced.
• When installing the unit that contains large amount of refrigerant such as Air to Water Heat Pump, take measures
to prevent the refrigerant from exceeding the threshold concentration in case it leaks.
Should leaking refrigerant exceed the threshold concentration could cause an accident due to oxygen deficient.
• When installing the unit or re-installing it after relocation, follow the installation guide for proper operation.
A defective installation may cause a refrigerant cycle defective, a water leak, an electric shock, or a fire.
• Do not modify the product. Do not disassemble or modify the parts also.
A fire, an electric shock, or an injury may occur.
