Warning

If refrigerant gas blows off during the work, do not touch the refrigerant gas as it may cause frostbite.

 

 

Prohibit

If refrigerant gas leaks during the work, ventilate the room.

 

If refrigerant gas catches fire, harmful gas may be generated.

 

 

 

Do not mix any gas other than the specified refrigerant gas in the refrigerating cycle.

 

If air or other contaminants mix with the gas, pressure will become extremely high in the refrigerating cycle,

 

which may cause a unit breakdown."

Prohibit

 

 

When the welded section of the compressor intake or discharge pipe is to be disconnected, perform it in

 

a well-ventilated place after sufficiently recovering the refrigerant gas.

 

Any residue gas may jet out refrigerant or refrigerating machine oil, which may cause an injury.

 

 

 

When the work is to be performed in a high place (About 2 meters or more), make sure to wear a safety helmet,

 

gloves and safety belt. Insufficient safety gear may cause a serious injury in case of a fall.

 

 

 

When the unit is to be relocated, confirm that the new installation location has sufficient strength for the weight of the unit.

 

Insufficient strength of the installation location and incomplete installation work may cause an injury due to

 

the unit falling.

 

 

 

When the remote controller batteries are replaced, dispose of the old batteries out of the reach of children.

 

If a child swallows a battery, make sure that the child gets immediate medical attention.

 

 

 

Caution

Do not wash the air conditioner with water, as this may cause an electric shock or fire. Prohibit

For the repair work in places with high humidity or moisture, make sure to ground the unit.

Failure to do so may cause an electric shock.

Confirm that the component attachment position, wiring condition, soldering condition and connector connection are normal.

If not, it may cause overheating or fire.

Confirm that the temperature around the compressor is not too high, and then perform the repair work.

Failure to do so may cause a burn.

Perform welding work in a place with good ventilation.

If the work is performed in a poorly ventilated area, it might cause a lack of oxygen.

If the installation plate or attachment frame has deteriorated due to corrosion, etc., replace it.

Failure to do so may cause an injury due to the unit falling.

When the cleaning is to be performed, make sure to turn off the power and pull out the plug.

Touching the fan that is rotating at high speed may result in an injury.

When the indoor unit is to be removed, do not place it on an incline.

Doing so may cause wet furniture because water left inside may trickle down.

Prohibit

Do not hold the sharp end of the unit or the aluminum fins, as it may cause an injury to your hand or finger. Prohibit

After repairs, make sure to measure the insulation resistance and confirm that the value is 1 Mohm or more.

Any insulation error may cause an electric shock.

After repairs, make sure to check the drainage of the indoor unit.

Inappropriate drainage may cause wet furniture and floors due to water leakage.

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.
