Air purging

 Airtight Test
Indoor-indoor
(Δh)
After completing the refrigerant piping work, perform an airtight test. Connect a nitrogen gas cylinder and
pressurize the pipes with nitrogen gas as follows to conduct the airtight test.
0.5
0.5
Low pressure gauge
Number of bent
portions
10 or less
Charge port
10 or less
Gas leak check
Step 1....Pressurize to 0.5 MPa (5 kg/cm
Step 2....Pressurize to 1.5 MPa (15 kg/cm
Step 3....Pressurize to 4.15 MPa (42 kg/cm
(However, note that when the ambient temperature differs during pressurization and after 24 hours, the pressure
will change by approximately 0.01 MPa (0.1 kg/cm2G) per 1°C, so this should be compensated.)
If the pressure drops in steps 1 through 3, check the connections for leakage.
Check for leaks with foaming liquid, etc., take steps to fix the leaks such as brazing the pipes again and tightening the flare
nuts, and then perform the airtight test again.

* After the airtight test is completed, evacuate the nitrogen gas.

• Do not discharge the refrigerant gas to the
atmosphere to preserve the terrestrial environment.

• Use a vacuum pump to discharge the air (nitrogen,
etc.) that remains in the set. If air remains, the
10 or less
capacity may decrease.
For the vacuum pump, be sure to use one with a
backflow preventer so that the oil in the pump does not
backflow into the pipe of the air conditioner when the
pump stops.
(If oil in the vacuum pump is put in an air conditioner
including R32, it may cause trouble with the
refrigeration cycle.)
