6-12. Installing the Rear Panel on the Wall

Be sure to confirm that the wall is strong enough to suspend the unit.

See either Item a) or b) below depending on the wall type.

a) If Wooden Wall

(1)Attach the rear panel to the wall with the 10 screws pro- vided. (Fig. 1-36)

If you are not able to line up the holes in the rear panel with the beam locations marked on the wall, use toggle bolts to go through the holes on the panel or drill 3/16" dia. holes in the panel over the stud locations and then mount the rear panel.

(2)Double-check with a ruler or level gauge that the panel is level. This is important to install the unit properly.

(Fig. 1-37)

(3)Make sure the panel is flush against the wall. Any space between the wall and unit will cause noise and vibration.

b) If Block, Brick, Concrete or Similar Type Wall

Make 3/16" dia. holes in the wall. Insert rawl plugs for appropri- ate mounting screws. (Fig. 1-38)

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.
