[4] Airtightness Test

No changes from the conventional method. Note that a refrigerant leakage detector for R22 cannot detect R407C leakage.

Items to be strictly observed :

1.Pressurize the equipment with nitrogen up to the design pressure and then judge the equipment’s airtightness, taking temperature variations into account.

2.When investigating leakage locations using a refrigerant, be sure to use R407C.

3.Ensure that R407C is in a liquid state when charging.

Reasons :

1.Use of oxygen as the pressurized gas may cause an explosion.

2.Charging with R407C gas will lead the composition of the remaining refrigerant in the cylinder to change and this refrigerant can then not be used.

Note :

•A leakage detector for R407C is sold commercially and it should be purchased.

[5]Vacuuming

1.Vacuum pump with check valve

A vacuum pump with a check valve is required to prevent the vacuum pump oil from flowing back into the refrigerant circuit when the vacuum pump power is turned off (power failure).

It is also possible to attach a check valve to the actual vacuum pump afterwards.

2.Standard degree of vacuum for the vacuum pump

Use a pump which reaches 0.5 Torr (500 MICRON) or below after 5 minutes of operation.

In addition, be sure to use a vacuum pump that has been properly maintained and oiled using the specified oil. If the vacuum pump is not properly maintained, the degree of vacuum may be too low.

3.Required accuracy of the vacuum gauge

Use a vacuum gauge that can measure up to 5 Torr. Do not use a general gauge manifold since it cannot measure a vacuum of 5 Torr.

4.Evacuating time

•Evacuate the equipment for 1 hour after –755 mmHg (5 Torr) has been reached.

•After envacuating, leave the equipment for 1 hour and make sure that the vacuum is not lost.

5.Operating procedure when the vacuum pump is stopped

In order to prevent a backflow of the vacuum pump oil, open the relief valve on the vacuum pump side or loosen the charge hose to drawn in air before stopping operation.

The same operating procedure should be used when using a vacuum pump with a check valve.

PURY-P400, P500YMF-C specifications

Mitsubishi Electronics has long been a leader in the HVAC industry, known for its innovative technology and reliable performance. Among its notable offerings are the P500YMF-C and PURY-P400 models, designed to address the diverse needs of commercial and residential applications.

The Mitsubishi P500YMF-C is a high-performance outdoor unit that showcases energy efficiency and advanced refrigerant technology. It employs a sophisticated inverter-driven compressor, which optimizes energy usage by adjusting its speed based on the specific heating and cooling demands of the environment. This flexibility helps to minimize energy consumption while ensuring optimal comfort.

One of the standout features of the P500YMF-C is its ability to provide consistent heating and cooling even in extreme outdoor temperatures. The unit can operate effectively in low-temperature conditions, making it ideal for regions with harsh winters. Furthermore, the system is designed with a robust build, ensuring durability and longevity.

On the other hand, the PURY-P400 is an indoor multi-split system that complements the outdoor unit perfectly. It's designed for versatility and efficiency, capable of accommodating multiple indoor units connected to a single outdoor unit. This feature is particularly beneficial for larger spaces or buildings where different zones require individual climate control.

The PURY-P400 incorporates Mitsubishi's advanced filtration technology, which significantly improves indoor air quality. It features a multi-layer filtration system that effectively removes dust, allergens, and other particulates from the air, ensuring a healthier environment for occupants.

Both systems utilize R-32 refrigerant, which has a lower global warming potential compared to traditional refrigerants. This not only makes them more eco-friendly but also complies with emerging environmental regulations. The ease of installation and operation of these units is another noteworthy characteristic, with intuitive controls and user-friendly interfaces that facilitate seamless integration into existing systems.

In summary, the Mitsubishi P500YMF-C and PURY-P400 represent a fusion of technology, efficiency, and user-centric design. With a range of features aimed at enhancing performance and environmental sustainability, these models are an excellent choice for anyone looking to invest in a reliable and efficient HVAC system. Whether for residential or commercial use, Mitsubishi’s offerings continue to set the standard in comfort and efficiency.
