Piping Works And Flaring Technique
• Do not use contaminated or damaged copper tubing. If
any piping, evaporator or condenser had been exposed or
had been opened for 15 seconds or more, the system must
be vacuumed. Generally do not remove plastic, rubber
plugs and brass nuts from the valves, fittings, tubing and
coils until it is ready to connect suction or liquid line into
valves or fittings.
• If any brazing work is required, ensure that nitrogen gas
is passed through coil and joints while the brazing work
is being done. This will eliminate soot formation on the
inside wall of copper tubings.
• Cut the pipe stages by stages, advancing the blade of pipe
cutter slowly. Extra force and a deep cut will cause more
distortion of pipe and therefore extra burr. See Figure I.
• Remove burrs from cut edges of the pipes with remover. See
Figure II. Hold the pipe on top position and burr remover
at lower position to prevent metal chips from entering the
pipe. This will avoid unevenness on the flare faces which
will cause gas leak.
• Insert the flare nuts, mounted on the connection parts
of both the indoor unit and outdoor unit, into the copper
pipes.
• The exact length of pipe protruding from the top surface
of the swaging block is determined by the flaring tool.
See Figure III.
• Fix the pipe firmly on the swaging block. Match the centers
of both the swaging block and the flaring punch, then
tighten the flaring punch fully.
• The refrigerant pipe connection are insulated by closed
cell polyurethane.
Piping Connection To The Units
• Align the center of the piping and tighten the flare nut
sufficiently with fingers. See Figure IV.
• Finally, tighten the flare nut with torque wrench until the
wrench clicks.
• When tightening the flare nut with the torque wrench,
ensure that the tightening direction follows the arrow
indicated on the wrench.
• The refrigerant pipe connection are insulated by closed
cell polyurethane.
