Installing it like this, the drain water cannot be evacuated and will flow back to the unit, causing a possible leakage when the operation is stopped. Always install the unit higher than the exit of the pipe.

    3 Piping work and refrigerant charge 3.2.2  Three principles on refrigerant piping work In case of using refrigerant R410A in the refrigeration cycle, the refrigeration oil should be of a synthetic type one. In order to avoid oxidation, pay much careful attention to basic piping work control to avoid infiltration of moisture or dust during the refrigerant piping work.
  • Page 65: Brazing Work

    3 Piping work and refrigerant charge 3.2.4  Brazing work The most important work in the refrigerant piping installation work is the brazing of the pipes. If it accidentally occurs a leak- age due to a careless brazing process, it will cause clogged capillary pipes or serious compressor failure. In order to guarantee a proper brazing neck between different pipes surfaces, accurate pipe dimensions after the expan- sion process (see the table below): It is important to control the clearance of the pipe fitting portion as shown below.
