6-10. Removing the Wall Fixture from the Unit

Remove the set screws and take off the rear panel. (Fig. 1-30)

NOTE

Tubing can be extended in 3 directions as shown in Fig. 1-31. Select the direction that provides the shortest run to the outside unit.

6-11. Selecting and Making a Hole

(1)Remove the rear panel from the indoor unit and place it on the wall at the location selected. Make sure the unit is horizontal using a level gauge or tape measure to measure down from the ceiling.

1(2) Determine which side of the unit you should make the hole. (Fig. 1-32)

(3)Before making a hole, check carefully that no studs or pipes are directly run behind the spot to be cut.

CAUTION

Also avoid areas where elec-

trical wiring or conduits are

 

 

 

located.

The above precautions are also applicable if tubing goes through the wall in any other location.

(4)Using a sabre saw, key hole saw or hole-cutting drill attachment, cut a hole in the wall. See Table 1-6 and Fig. 1-33.

3-3/16"

(5)Measure the thickness of the wall from the inside edge to the outside edge and cut PVC pipe at a slight angle 1/4" shorter than the thickness of the wall. (Fig. 1-34)

(6)Place the plastic cover over the end of the pipe (for indoor side only) and insert in the wall. (Fig. 1-35)

R410A specifications

Panasonic R410A is a refrigerant that has gained significant popularity in the air conditioning and refrigeration industry due to its favorable environmental properties and performance characteristics. Specifically designed to replace the harmful R22 refrigerant, which is being phased out due to its ozone-depleting potential, R410A offers a more eco-friendly alternative without compromising on efficiency or power.

One of the main features of R410A is its high energy efficiency. It operates at a higher pressure than R22, resulting in better heat transfer capabilities. This increased efficiency translates to lower energy consumption, making units using R410A more cost-effective in the long run. Additionally, R410A is known for its ability to provide excellent cooling performance even in high-temperature environments, making it suitable for a variety of applications, from residential air conditioning systems to commercial refrigeration units.

In terms of composition, R410A is a blend of two hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), namely R32 and R125. This combination not only minimizes ozone depletion potential (ODP) but also reduces global warming potential (GWP) compared to older refrigerants. Panasonic has emphasized the importance of innovative technologies in its products, and R410A aligns perfectly with the company's commitment to developing sustainable solutions.

Panasonic also integrates advanced technologies to optimize the performance of R410A systems. For example, variable speed compressors, known as inverter technology, enhance system efficiency by adjusting the compressor's speed according to the cooling demand. This ensures that energy is only consumed when needed, further reducing operational costs.

Furthermore, R410A has a wide range of applications, including air conditioning systems, heat pumps, and chillers. Its versatility makes it a popular choice among manufacturers and consumers alike. The refrigerant is also compatible with existing R22 equipment, although specific retrofit procedures must be followed to ensure peak performance and reliability.

In conclusion, Panasonic R410A stands out as an innovative refrigerant choice in the HVAC industry, offering a combination of energy efficiency, environmentally friendly properties, and advanced technologies. As regulatory frameworks continue to tighten on greenhouse gas emissions, R410A and similar refrigerants are expected to play a crucial role in shaping a more sustainable future for air conditioning and refrigeration. Its high performance and lower environmental impact solidify its position as a leading refrigerant in contemporary cooling solutions.
