1. Safety Summary
If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed/extinguished. If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the refrigerant shall be recovered
from the system, or isolated in a part of the system remote from the leak. Removal of refrigerant shall be according to this manual.
· When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs ­ or for any other purpose ­ conventional procedures shall be used. However, for flammable refrigerants it is important that best practice is followed since flammability is a consideration. The following procedure shall be adhered to: safely remove refrigerant following local and national regulations; evacuate; purge the circuit with inert gas; continuously flush with inert gas when using flame to open circuit; open the circuit.
· The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders. · Purging of the refrigerant circuit shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with inert
gas and continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a vacuum. This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the system. The system shall be vented down to atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place.
· Ensure that the outlet of the vacuum pump is not close to any potential ignition sources and that ventilation is available.
· In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be followed.
Ensure that contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using charging equipment. Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible to minimise the amount of refrigerant contained in them.
Cylinders shall be kept in an appropriate position according to the instructions. Ensure that the refrigerating system is earthed prior to charging the system with refrigerant. Label the system when charging is complete (if not already labelled). Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill the refrigerating system.
· Prior to recharging the system, it shall be pressure-tested with the appropriate purging gas. The system shall be leak-tested on completion of charging but prior to commissioning. A follow up leak test shall be carried out prior to leaving the site.
· Before carrying out the decommissioning procedure, it is essential that the technician is completely familiar with the equipment and all its detail. It is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are recovered safely. Prior to the task being carried out, an oil and refrigerant sample shall be taken in case analysis is required prior to re-use of recovered refrigerant. It is essential that electrical power is available before the task is commenced. Become familiar with the equipment and its operation. Isolate system electrically. Before attempting the procedure, ensure that: (a) mechanical handling equipment is available, if required, for handling refrigerant cylinders; (b) all personal protective equipment is available and being used correctly; (c) the recovery process is supervised at all times by a competent person; (d) recovery equipment and cylinders conform to the appropriate standards. Pump down refrigerant system, if possible. If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that refrigerant can be removed from various parts of the system. Make sure that the cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes place. Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with instructions. Do not overfill cylinders (no more than 80% volume liquid charge). Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily. When the cylinders have been filled correctly and the process completed, make sure that the cylinders and the equipment are removed from site promptly and all isolation valves on the equipment are closed off. Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigerating system unless it has been cleaned and checked.
· Equipment shall be labelled stating that it has been de-commissioned and emptied of refrigerant. The label shall be dated and signed. For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, ensure that
-7-

1. Safety Summary there are labels on the equipment stating the equipment contains flammable refrigerant.
· When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is required to follow good practice so that all refrigerants are removed safely.
· When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding the total system charge is available. All cylinders to be used are designated for the recovered refrigerant and labelled for that refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure-relief valve and associated shut-off valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if possible, cooled before recovery occurs.
· The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of instructions concerning the equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery of the flammable refrigerant. Consult manufacturer if in doubt. In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall be available and in good working order. Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and in good condition.
· The recovered refrigerant shall be processed according to local legislation in the correct recovery cylinder, and the relevant waste transfer note arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in cylinders.
· If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain that flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant. The compressor body shall not be heated by an open flame or other ignition sources to accelerate this process. Draining of oil from a system shall be carried out safely.
· Disposal of equipment shall follow the national regulations. · The storage of the appliance should be in accordance with the applicable regulations or instructions,
whichever is more stringent.
· The maximum number of pieces of equipment permitted to be stored together notes by each product package information and standard follows ISO 780-2015 or local regulation.
· After completing the installation work, check that the refrigerant gas does not leak throughout the system.
· When installing or relocating the air conditioner, do not let any other substances besides R32, such as air, enter the refrigerant circuit. The presence of air or foreign matter in the refrigerant circuit causes an abnormal pressure rise, which may result in equipment damage and even injury.
· Refrigerant R32 in the system must be kept clean, dry, and tight.
Clean and Dry — Foreign materials (including mineral oils such as SUNISO oil or moisture) should be prevented from getting into the system.
Tight — R32 does not contain any chlorine, does not destroy the ozone layer, and does not reduce the earth’s protection again harmful ultraviolet radiation. R32 can contribute to the greenhouse effect if it is released.
· Only use tools for R32, such as a gauge manifold, charge hose, gas leak detector, reverse flow check valve, refrigerant charge base, vacuum gauge, or refrigerant recovery equipment.

· Do not create an upper-slope or rise for the drain piping, since drain water will flow back to the unit and leakage to the room will occur when the unit operation is stopped.
· Do not connect the drain pipe with sanitary or sewage piping or any other drainage piping. · When the common drain piping is connected with other indoor units, the connected position of each
indoor unit must be higher than the common piping. The pipe size of the common drain pipe must be large enough according to the unit size and number of unit.
· Drain piping will require insulating if the drain is installed in a location where condensation forming on the outside of drain pipe may drop and cause damage. The insulation for the drain pipe must be selected to insure vapor sealing and prevent condensation forming.
· Drain trap should be installed next to indoor unit. This trap must be designed to good practice and be checked with water (charged) and tested for correct flow. Do not tie or clamp the drain pipe and refrigerant pipe together.
NOTES:
· Install drainage in accordance with national and local codes. · After performing drain piping work and electrical wiring, check to ensure that the water flows
smoothly as in the following procedure.
Checking with drain-up mechanism and float switch
· Switch ON the power supply. · Pour approximately 2.0 to 2.5 liters of water gradually into the drain pan, then float switch up and
drain pump start working automatically.
· Check to ensure that the water flows smoothly inside the transparent drain pipe connection whether no water leakage occurs. When water cannot be found at the end of the drain piping, pour more water smoothly into the drain pan.
· If the water overflows from the drain pan, recheck the drain piping. · Switch OFF the power supply after.
NOTE:
· Pay attention to the thickness of the insulation when the left side piping is performed. If it is too thick, piping can not be installed in the unit.
