<strong>04</strong>-<strong>396</strong> <strong>Inverter</strong>-W_a-<strong>p50</strong> <strong>ARGO</strong> 12/21/<strong>04</strong> 9:38 AM Page 3Check of Density LimitThe room in which the air conditioner is to beinstalled requires a design that in the event ofrefrigerant gas leaking out, its density will notexceed a set limit.The refrigerant (R410A), which is used in the air conditioner,is safe, without the toxicity or combustibility ofammonia, and is not restricted by laws imposed to protectthe ozone layer. However, since it contains morethan air, it poses the risk of suffocation if its densityshould rise excessively. Suffocation from leakage ofrefrigerant is almost non-existent. With the recentincrease in the number of high density buildings, however,the installation of multi air conditioner systems ison the increase because of the need for effective useof floor space, individual control, energy conservationby curtailing heat and carrying power, etc.Most importantly, the multi air conditioner system isable to replenish a large amount of refrigerant comparedto conventional individual air conditioners. If asingle unit of the multi air conditioner system is to beinstalled in a small room, select a suitable model andinstallation procedure so that if the refrigerant accidentallyleaks out, its density does not reach the limit(and in the event of an emergency, measures can bemade before injury can occur).In a room where the density may exceed the limit,create an opening with adjacent rooms, or installmechanical ventilation combined with a gas leakdetection device. The density is as given below.Total amount of refrigerant (kg)Min. volume of the indoor unit installed room (m 3 )≤ Density limit (kg/m 3 )The density limit of refrigerant which is used in multi air conditionersis 0.3 kg/m 3 (ISO 5149).NOTE1. If there are 2 or more refrigerating systems in a singlerefrigerating device, the amount of refrigerantshould be as charged in each independent device.For the amount of charge in this example:2. The standards for minimum room volume are asfollows.(1) No partition (shaded portion)(2) When there is an effective opening with the adjacentroom for ventilation of leaking refrigerant gas(opening without a door, or an opening 0.15% orlarger than the respective floor spaces at the topor bottom of the door).Outdoor unitRefrigerant tubingIndoor unit(3) If an indoor unit is installed in each partitionedroom and the refrigerant tubing is interconnected,the smallest room of course becomes the object.But when mechanical ventilation is installed interlockedwith a gas leakage detector in the smallestroom where the density limit is exceeded, the volumeof the next smallest room becomes the object.VerysmallroomSmallroomMediumroomRefrigerant tubingLarge roomOutdoor unitIndoor unitMechanical ventilation device – Gas leak detector3.

Care regarding tubing1-1. Process tubing● Material: Use C1220 phosphorous deoxidized copper specified in JIS H3300 “Copper and Copper Alloy SeamlessPipes and Tubes.”For tubes of φ19.05 or larger, use C1220 T-1/2H material or H material, and do not bend the tubes.● Tubing size: Be sure to use the sizes indicated in the table below.● Use a tube cutter when cutting the tubing, and be sure to remove any flash. This also applies to distributionjoints (optional).● When bending tubing φ15.88 or smaller, use a bending radius that is 4 times the outer diameter of the tubing or larger.CAUTIONUse sufficient care in handling the tubing. Seal the tubing ends withcaps or tape to prevent dirt, moisture, or other foreign substancesfrom entering. These substances can result in system malfunction.Copper tubeCopper tubeUnit: mmMaterial 0Outer diameter 6.35 9.52 12.7 15.88Wall thickness 0.8 0.8 0.8 1.0Material1/ 2 H, HOuter diameter 19.05 22.22 25.4 28.58 31.75 38.1Wall thickness 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.1 1.351-2. Prevent impurities including water, dust and oxide from entering the tubing. Impurities can cause R410Arefrigerant deterioration and compressor defects. Due to the features of the refrigerant and refrigeratingmachine oil, the prevention of water and other impurities becomes more important than ever.2. Be sure to recharge the refrigerant only in liquid form.2-1. Since R410A is a non-azeotrope, recharging the refrigerant in gas form can lower performance and causedefects of the unit.2-2. Since refrigerant composition changes and performance decreases when gas leaks, collect the remainingrefrigerant and recharge the required total amount of new refrigerant after fixing the leak.3. Different tools required3-1. Tool specifications have been changed due to the characteristics of R410A.Some tools for R22- and R407C-type refrigerant systems cannot be used.Item New R407C tools Remarkstool compatiblewith R410AManifold gaugeManifold gauge Yes No Types of refrigerant, refrigerating machineoil, and pressure gauge are different.Charge hose Yes No To resist higher pressure, material must be changed.Vacuum pump Yes Yes Use a conventional vacuum pump if it is equippedwith a check valve. If it has no check valve,purchase and attach a vacuum pump adapter.Leak detector Yes No Leak detectors for CFC and HCFC thatreact to chlorine do not function becauseR410A contains no chlorine. Leak detectorfor HFC134a can be used for R410A.Vacuum pumpOutletInletFlaring oil Yes No For systems that use R22, apply mineral oil (Suniso oil)to the flare nuts on the tubing to prevent refrigerantleakage. For machines that use R407C or R410A, applysynthetic oil (ether oil) to the flare nuts.* Using tools for R22 and R407C and new tools for R410A together can cause defects.4


IntroductionxiiiIntroduction: “To the greatVariety of Readers”Reade him, therefore; and againe, and againe: And if then you doe not like him,surely you are in some manifest danger, not to understand him.John Heminge, Henry Condell, 1623 FolioWhy should we read Shakespeare, again and again, with youngadults in classrooms across the country? And if we can agreeupon some answers to that question, the corollary ensues—How?This book began years before I wrote it with a series of questionsI couldn’t answer on my own. But at the core of all my interrogativesthere stood a stubborn, imperative spine: Speaking Shakespeare, writingabout Shakespeare, performing Shakespeare, listening to and viewingShakespeare, all proceed from reading Shakespeare, and the act of readingShakespeare is something we need to understand.Reading Shakespeare with Young Adults celebrates the collaborativereading of Shakespeare’s plays. Collaborative as in what we can learnfrom classroom teachers, adolescents, literacy researchers, Shakespeareanscholars, performers, and media specialists; reading as in what wecan do with increasing independence to construct meaning from thetransaction with challenging content written in early modern English;plays as in what we can apply to thirty-seven of them because the readingskills and strategies outlined in this book are transferable across thecollection of Shakespeare’s plays.This book is written by an English teacher who knows firsthandthe complexity, the challenge, and the reward of working with apprenticereaders in the secondary classroom. The students at my school bearevery label the educational system can muster—advanced, at-risk, mainstream,minority, English language learner, limited English proficient,straight, gay, special needs. In the crucible that is the twenty-first-centuryAmerican classroom, reading Shakespeare with all of these studentshas become the most rewarding transaction we share. I use the wordtransaction as Louise Rosenblatt defines it in her preface to Literature asExploration to suggest the infinite ways in which meaning “‘happens’during the transaction between the reader” and a word, a line, a speech,or a scene in a Shakespearean play (xvi).

Check of Limit DensityWhen installing an air conditioner in a room, it is necessaryto ensure that even if the refrigerant gas accidentallyleaks out, its density does not exceed the limitlevel for that room.If the density could exceed the limit level, it is necessaryto provide an opening between the unit and theadjacent room, or to install mechanical ventilationwhich is interlocked with the leak detector.(Total refrigerant charged amount: kg)(Min. indoor volume where the indoor unit is installed: m 3 )≤ Limit density 0.3 (kg/m 3 )The limit density of refrigerant which is used in this unitis 0.3 kg/m 3 (ISO 5149).The shipped outdoor unit comes charged with theamount of refrigerant fixed for each type, so add it tothe amount that is charged in the field. (For the refrigerantcharge amount at shipment, refer to the unit’snameplate.)CAUTION1-12. Installing Distribution JointPay special attention to anylocation, such as a basement,etc., where leaking refrigerantcan accumulate, since refrigerantgas is heavier than air.(1) Refer to “HOW TO ATTACH DISTRIBUTIONJOINT” enclosed with the optional distribution jointkit (DDVE135, DDVE68, DDVI135, DDVI68,DDVI16).(2) In order to prevent accumulation of refrigerant oil instopped units, if the main tubing is horizontal theneach branch tubing length should be at an angle thatis greater than horizontal. If the main tubing is vertical,provide a raised starting portion for each branch.(3) If there are height differences between indoor unitsor if branch tubing that follows a distribution joint isconnected to only 1 unit, a trap or ball valve must beadded to that distribution joint. (When adding the ballvalve, locate it within 40 cm of the distribution joint.)(Consult with <strong>ARGO</strong> separately concerning the ballvalve.)If a trap or ball valve is not added, do not operatethe system before repairs to a malfunctioningunit are completed.

After performing a vacuum, charge with refrigerant from the narrow tubing side. At this time, all valves mustbe in the “fully closed” position.2. If it was not possible to charge the designated amount, operate the system in Cooling mode while chargingwith refrigerant from the wide tubing side. (This is performed at the time of the test run. For this, all valvesmust be in the “fully open” position.)Charge with R410A refrigerant in liquid form.With R410A refrigerant, charge while adjusting the amount being fed a little at a time in order to preventliquid refrigerant from backing up.● After charging is completed, turn all valves to the “fully open” position.● Replace the tubing covers as they were before.Example:CAUTIONOutdoor unit1. R410A additional charging absolutely must be donethrough liquid charging.2. The R410A refrigerant cylinder has a gray basecolor, and the top part is pink.3. The R410A refrigerant cylinder includes a siphontube. Check that the siphon tube is present. (This isindicated on the label at the top of the cylinder.)4.

General Precautions on Wiring(1) Before wiring, confirm the rated voltage of the unitas shown on its nameplate, then carry out thewiring closely following the wiring diagram.(2) Provide a power outlet to be used exclusively foreach unit, and a power supply disconnect and circuitbreaker for overcurrent protection should beprovided in the exclusive line.(3) To prevent possible hazards from insulation failure,the unit must be grounded.(4) Each wiring connection must be done in accordancewith the wiring system diagram. Wrongwiring may cause the unit to misoperate orbecome damaged.(5) Do not allow wiring to touch the refrigerant tubing,compressor, or any moving parts of the fan.(6) Unauthorized changes in the internal wiring can bevery dangerous. The manufacturer will accept noresponsibility for any damage or misoperation thatoccurs as a result of such unauthorized changes.(7) Regulations on wire diameters differ from localityto locality. For field wiring rules, please refer toyour LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES before beginning.You must ensure that installation complies with allrelevant rules and regulations.(8) To prevent malfunction of the air conditionercaused by electrical noise, care must be takenwhen wiring as follows:● The remote control wiring and the inter-unit controlwiring should be wired apart from the inter-unitpower wiring.● Use shielded wires for inter-unit control wiringbetween units and ground the shield on both sides.(9) If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged,it must be replaced by a repair shopappointed by the manufacture, because specialpurpose tools are required.5-2.

HOW TO PROCESS TUBINGDeburringThe narrow tubing side is connected by a flare nut,and the wide tubing side is connected by brazing.7-1. Connecting the Refrigerant TubingUse of the Flaring MethodBeforeAfterMany of conventional split system air conditionersemploy the flaring method to connect refrigerant tubeswhich run between indoor and outdoor units. In thismethod, the copper tubes are flared at each end andconnected with flare nuts.Flaring Procedure with a Flare ToolFig. 7-1(1) Cut the copper tube to the required length with atube cutter. It is recommended to cut approx. 30– 50 cm longer than the tubing length you estimate.(2) Remove burrs at the end of the copper tube with atube reamer or file. This process is important andshould be done carefully to make a good flare.(Fig. 7-1)CoppertubingReamerNOTEFig. 7-2When reaming, hold the tube end downward and besure that no copper scraps fall into the tube. (Fig. 7-2)(3) Remove the flare nut from the unit and be sure tomount it on the copper tube.(4) Make a flare at the end of copper tube with aflare tool.* (Fig. 7-3)Flare nutCoppertubing(*Use “RIGID ® ” or equivalent.)NOTEA good flare should have the following characteristics:● inside surface is glossy and smooth● edge is smooth● tapered sides are of uniform lengthFlare toolFig. 7-393


<strong>04</strong>-<strong>396</strong> <strong>Inverter</strong>W_p51-108 <strong>ARGO</strong> 12/21/<strong>04</strong> 10:17 AM Page 94Caution Before Connecting Tubes Tightly(1) Apply a sealing cap or water-proof tape to preventdust or water from entering the tubes before theyare used.(2) Be sure to apply refrigerant lubricant to the matchingsurfaces of the flare and union before connectingthem together. This is effective for reducinggas leaks. (Fig. 7-4)(3) For proper connection, align the union tube andflare tube straight with each other, then screw inthe flare nut lightly at first to obtain a smoothmatch. (Fig. 7-5)●Adjust the shape of the narrow tube (liquid tube)using a tube bender at the installation site andconnect it to the narrow tubing side (liquid tubingside) valve using a flare.Cautions During Brazing●●●●Replace air inside the tube with nitrogen gas toprevent copper oxide film from forming duringthe brazing process. (Oxygen, carbon dioxideand Freon are not acceptable.)Do not allow the tubing to get too hot duringbrazing. The nitrogen gas inside the tubingmay overheat, causing refrigerant systemvalves to become damaged. Therefore allowthe tubing to cool when brazing.Use a reducing valve for the nitrogen cylinder.Do not use agents intended to prevent the formationof oxide film. These agents adverselyaffect the refrigerant and refrigerant oil, andmay cause damage or malfunctions.7-2. Connecting Tubing Between Indoor and OutdoorUnits(1) Tightly connect the indoor-side refrigerant tubingextended from the wall with the outdoor-side tubing.(2) To fasten the flare nuts, apply specified torque asat right:● When removing the flare nuts from the tubing connections,or when tightening them after connectingthe tubing, be sure to use 2 monkey wrenches orspanners as shown. (Fig. 7-6)If the flare nuts are over-tightened, the flare may bedamaged, which could result refrigerant leakageand cause in injury or asphyxiation to room occupants.● For the flare nuts at tubing connections, be sure touse the flare nuts that were supplied with the unit,or else flare nuts for R410A (type 2). The refrigeranttubing that is used must be of the correct wallthickness as shown in the table at right.Indoor unitTube diameterφ6.35 (1/4")φ9.52 (3/8")φ12.7 (1/2")φ15.88 (5/8")φ19.05 (3/4")Apply refrigerantlubricant here and hereUnionFig. 7-4Fig. 7-5Torque wrenchFig. 7-6Flare nutOutdoor unitTightening torque,approximate14 – 18 N · m(140 – 180 kgf · cm)34 – 42 N · m(340 – 420 kgf · cm)49 – 61 N · m(490 – 610 kgf · cm)68 – 82 N · m(680 – 820 kgf · cm)100 – 120 N · m(1000 – 1200 kgf · cm)SpannerTube thickness0.8 mm0.8 mm0.8 mm1.0 mm1.0 mmBecause the pressure is approximately 1.6 timeshigher than conventional refrigerant pressure, theuse of ordinary flare nuts (type 1) or thin-walledtubes may result in tube rupture, injury, or asphyxiationcaused by refrigerant leakage.● In order to prevent damage to the flare caused byover-tightening of the flare nuts, use the tableabove as a guide when tightening.● When tightening the flare nut on the narrow tube,use a monkey wrench with a nominal handle lengthof 200 mm.94

Insulating the Refrigerant TubingTubing Insulation● Thermal insulation must be applied to all unit tubing,including distribution joint (purchased separately).* For gas tubing, the insulation material must beheat resistant to 120°C or above. For other tubing,it must be heat resistant to 80°C or above.Insulation material thickness must be 10 mm orgreater.If the conditions inside the ceiling exceed DB 30°Cand RH 70%, increase the thickness of the gastubing insulation material by 1 step.Two tubes arranged togetherNarrow tubingInsulationCosmetic(finishing) tapeWide tubingThree tubes arranged togetherNarrow tubingWide tubingCAUTIONIf the exterior of the outdoorunit valves has been finishedwith a square duct covering,make sure you allow sufficientspace to use the valvesand to allow the panels to beattached and removed.InsulationFig. 7-7Balance tubingTaping the flare nutsWind the white insulation tape around the flare nuts atthe wide tube connections.

Taping the Tubes(1) At this time, the refrigerant tubes (and electricalwiring if local codes permit) should be tapedtogether with armoring tape in 1 bundle. To preventthe condensation from overflowing the drainpan, keep the drain hose separate from therefrigerant tubing.(2) Wrap the armoring tape from the bottom of theoutdoor unit to the top of the tubing where itenters the wall. As you wrap the tubing, overlaphalf of each previous tape turn.(3) Clamp the tubing bundle to the wall, using 1clamp approx. each meter. (Fig. 7-10)NOTEDo not wind the armoring tape too tightly since thiswill decrease the heat insulation effect. Also ensurethat the condensation drain hose splits away from thebundle and drips clear of the unit and the tubing.7-5. Finishing the InstallationAfter finishing insulating and taping over the tubing,use sealing putty to seal off the hole in the wall to preventrain and draft from entering.
