Installation

AirPurging

Air and moisture remaining in the refrigerant system have undesirable effects as indicated below.

•Pressure in the system rises.

•Operating current rises.

•Cooling(or heating) efficiency drops.

•Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block capillary tubing.

•Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigeration system.

Therefore, the indoor unit and tubing between the indoor and outdoor unit must be leak tested and evacuated to remove any noncondensables and moisture from the system.

Preparation

•Check that each tubing(both liquid and gas side tubes) between the indoor and outdoor units have been properly connected and all wiring for the test run has been completed. Remove the service valve caps from both the gas and the liquid side on the outdoor unit. Note that both the liquid and the gas side service valves on the outdoor unit are kept closed at this stage.

•Do a leak test of all joints of the tubing(both indoor and outdoor) and both gas and liquid side service valves.

Bubbles indicate a leak. Be sure to wipe off the soap with a clean cloth.

•After the system is found to be free of leaks, relieve the nitrogen pressure by loosening the charge hose connector at the nitrogen cylinder. When the system pressure is reduced to normal, disconnect the hose from the cylinder.

Leak test

kept close.

•Pressurize the system to no more than 150 P.S.I.G. with dry nitrogen gas and close the cylin- der valve when the gauge reading reached 150 P.S.I.G. Next, test for leaks with liquid soap.

To avoid nitrogen entering the refrigerant system in a liquid state, the top of the cylinder must be higher than its bottom when you pressurize the system.

Usually, the cylinder is used in a vertical standing position.

LG Electronics has established itself as a leader in innovative home appliance technologies, particularly in the air conditioning segment. The LG LAN121CNM, LAU121CNM, LA121HPMI, LA121HPMO, LAN121HNM, LAU121HNM, LA121CPMI, and LA121CPMO models exemplify the blend of efficiency, comfort, and advanced features that LG is known for.

These air conditioning units are designed with energy efficiency in mind, boasting high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings that help reduce electricity consumption. This not only saves money on energy bills but also aligns with eco-friendly initiatives by minimizing environmental impact.

The air conditioners are equipped with LG's Dual Inverter technology, which enhances cooling performance while reducing noise levels. This innovative technology allows the compressor to operate at variable speeds, resulting in faster cooling and dehumidification, as well as quieter operation than traditional units.

Moreover, the models feature a modern aesthetic with sleek designs that seamlessly blend into both residential and commercial environments. The intuitive user interface, combined with remote control capabilities, makes adjusting temperature settings easier for users, giving them full control over their indoor climate.

Another significant characteristic of these models is the use of advanced filtration systems. Many units incorporate a multi-stage filtration process that captures dust, allergens, and pollutants, ensuring the air quality in the home remains high. These filters are easy to clean and replace, making maintenance straightforward and user-friendly.

The LG LAN121CNM, LAU121CNM, and others in the lineup also include Wi-Fi connectivity. This smart technology allows users to monitor and control their air conditioning units through mobile applications, providing convenience and flexibility. Users can adjust settings, schedule operations, and receive alerts about filter maintenance directly from their smartphones.

For those looking for flexibility, these models offer various installation options. They can be installed as wall-mounted, floor-mounted, or ceiling-mounted systems, catering to different space constraints and design preferences.

In conclusion, the LG LAN121CNM, LAU121CNM, LA121HPMI, LA121HPMO, LAN121HNM, LAU121HNM, LA121CPMI, and LA121CPMO air conditioning models are exemplary products that demonstrate LG’s commitment to quality, efficiency, and user-centric design. With cutting-edge technology and a focus on sustainability, these units cater to the needs of modern consumers while ensuring comfort all year round.
