Purging Procedures, Leak Test, And Test Run - Mitsubishi Electric PXZ-5F85VG Installationsanleitung

4. PURGING PROCEDURES, LEAK TEST, AND TEST RUN

4-1. PURGING PROCEDURES AND LEAK TEST
1) Remove service port cap of stop valve on the side of the outdoor unit gas
pipe. (The stop valves are fully closed and covered in caps in their initial
state.)
2) Connect gauge manifold valve and vacuum pump to service port of stop
valve on the gas pipe side of the outdoor unit.
3) Run the vacuum pump. (Vacuumize for more than 15 minutes.)
4) Check the vacuum with gauge manifold valve, then close gauge manifold
valve, and stop the vacuum pump.
5) Leave as it is for one or two minutes. Make sure the pointer of gauge manifold
valve remains in the same position. Confirm that pressure gauge shows
-0.101 MPa [Gauge] (-760 mmHg).
6) Remove gauge manifold valve quickly from service port of stop valve.
7) After refrigerant pipes are connected and evacuated, fully open the valve stem
of all stop valves on both sides of gas pipe and liquid pipe by the hexagonal
wrench. If the valve stem hits the stopper, do not turn it any further. Operating
without fully opening lowers the performance and this causes trouble.
8) Refer to 1-2., and charge the prescribed amount of refrigerant if needed. Be
sure to charge slowly with liquid refrigerant.
9) Tighten cap of service port to obtain the initial status.

10) L eak test
To avoid risk of fire, make sure that there are no flammable hazards or
ignition risks before opening the stop valves.
WARNING
When opening or closing the valve
below freezing temperatures,
refrigerant may spurt out from the
gap between the valve stem and the
valve body, resulting in injuries.
4-2. GAS CHARGE
Perform gas charge to unit.
1) Connect gas cylinder to the service port of stop valve.
2) Perform air purge of the pipe (or hose) coming from refrigerant gas cylinder.
3) Replenish specified amount of the refrigerant, while operating the air condi-
tioner for cooling *1.
Note:
In case of adding refrigerant, comply with the quantity specified for the refrig-
erating cycle.
When charging the refrigerant system with additional refrigerant, be
sure to use liquid refrigerant. Charge the liquid refrigerant slowly,
otherwise the compressor will be locked.
To maintain the high pressure of the gas cylinder, warm the gas cylin-
der with warm water (under 40°C) during cold season. But never use
naked fire or steam.
*1. When connecting only the Cylinder unit / Hydrobox / DHW tank, perform cooling
according to the following procedure.
1) Turn off the breaker for outdoor unit and Cylinder unit / Hydrobox / DHW tank both.
2) Turn on 2 for SW2.
3) Turn on the breaker for outdoor unit and Cylinder unit / Hydrobox / DHW tank both.
4) After confirming that all the indoor units have stopped for more than 3 minutes,
press and hold the SW871 on the control board for 3 seconds.
5) To stop operation after refrigerant filling is complete, press and hold the SW871 on
the control board again for 3 seconds.
6) Turn off the breaker for outdoor unit and Cylinder unit / Hydrobox / DHW tank both.
7) Turn off 2 for SW2.
Note:
This function does not operate when the outside temperature is 0°C or below.
Make sure to indicate the followings with ineffaceable ink on the designated label / spec label.
(1) Precharged refrigerant amount – see spec label
(2) On site additionally charged amount
(3) Total refrigerant amount (1)+(2)
(4) (5) (6) CO equivalent

*2. This information is based on Regulation (EU) No.517/2014.
*3. According to IPCC 3rd edition, GWP is defined as 550.

Precautions when using
the control valve
When attaching the control
valve to the service port, valve
core may deform or loosen if
excess pressure is applied.
This may cause gas leak.
When attaching the control valve
to the service port, make sure
that the valve core is in closed
position, and then tighten part
A. Do not tighten part A or turn
the body when valve core is in
open position.
