11-3. Tools Specifically for R410A

For servicing, use the following tools for R410A

Tool Distinction

Tool Name

 

 

 

Gauge manifold

 

Charging hose

 

Gas leak detector

 

Refrigerant cylinder

 

Charging cylinder

 

Refrigerant recovery unit

Tools specifically for R410A

Vacuum pump with anti-reverse flow (*1)

 

(Solenoid valve-installed type, which prevents oil from flowing back into the

 

unit when the power is off, is recommended.)

 

Vacuum pump (*2)...can be used if the following adapter is attached.

 

Vacuum pump adapter (reverse-flow prevention adapter) (*3).

 

(Solenoid valve-installed adapter attached to a conventional vacuum pump.)

 

Electronic scale for charging refrigerant

 

Flare tool

 

 

 

Bender

Tools which can be com-

Torque wrench

 

monly used for R22,

Cutter, reamer

R407C, and R410A

Welding tool, nitrogen gas cylinder

 

 

 

CAUTION

The above tools specifically for R410A must not be used for R22 and R407C. Doing so will cause malfunction of the unit.

For the above vacuum pump (*1, *2) and vacuum pump adapter (*3), those for R22-type units can be used for R410A-type. However, they must be used exclusively for R410A and never alternately with R22 and R407C.

To prevent other refrigerants (R22, R407C) from being mistakenly charged to this unit, shape and external diameter of the service port screw has been altered.

<External diameter of service port> R410A : 5/16" R22, R407C : 1/4"

11-4. Tubing Installation Procedures

When the tubes are connected, always apply HAB oil on the flare portions to improve the sealing of tubing. The following is the HAB oil generally used:

Esso: ZERICE S32

NOTE For details on tubing installation procedures, refer to the installation manuals attached to the indoor unit and outdoor unit.

Panasonic CZ-18BT1U, CU-KE12NK1, CU-KE18NKU, CS-KE18NB4UW Tools Specifically for R410A, Tubing Installation Procedures

CZ-18BT1U, CS-KE12NB41, CS-KE18NB4UW, CU-KE18NKU, CU-KE12NK1 specifications

The Panasonic CS-KE18NB4UW and CU-KE12NK1, along with the CS-KE12NB41, CZ-18BT1U, and CU-KE18NKU, represent a suite of advanced air conditioning solutions built with cutting-edge technologies designed to provide optimal comfort, energy efficiency, and air quality in various settings.

One of the standout features of this lineup is the inverter technology. Inverter air conditioners adjust the compressor speed to maintain the desired temperature efficiently. This leads to significant energy savings compared to traditional air conditioners, which tend to frequently cycle on and off, consuming more power. By continuously regulating the temperature, the Panasonic units not only save electricity but also prolong the lifespan of the compressor.

Another noteworthy characteristic is the nanoe™ technology integrated into some of these models. Nanoe™ technology uses hydroxyl radicals to purify the air, minimizing harmful bacteria and allergens. This makes the Panasonic units particularly suitable for users with allergies or respiratory issues, providing a cleaner and healthier indoor environment.

In terms of design, these models are sleek and compact, allowing them to fit seamlessly into any room decor, whether in a home, office, or commercial space. The quiet operation is another advantage, making them ideal for bedrooms and study areas where minimal noise is essential.

Furthermore, the CS-KE18NB4UW and CU-KE12NK1 offer a range of powerful cooling and heating capacities, making them versatile solutions for various climate conditions. The cold climate performance ensures consistent heating in colder regions, while the robust cooling capabilities make them perfect for hot summer months.

The user-friendly features include a smart remote control system, allowing users to adjust settings with ease from a distance. Some models are equipped with Wi-Fi capability, enabling integration with smart home systems for enhanced control and programmability.

In conclusion, the Panasonic CS-KE18NB4UW, CU-KE12NK1, CS-KE12NB41, CZ-18BT1U, and CU-KE18NKU air conditioning units exemplify innovation and efficiency. With their inverter technology, air purification features, compact designs, and smart functionalities, they stand out as ideal choices for maintaining comfortable and healthy indoor environments throughout the year.
