Performing the gas leak tests

Make sure to check for gas leaks before completing the installation process (connecting the assembly pipe and hose between indoor unit and outdoor unit, insulating the cables, hose and pipe, and fixing the indoor unit to the installation plate).

To check for gas leaks on the outdoor unit,

Check the valve A and B using a leak detector.

To check for gas leaks on the indoor unit,

Check the flare nut C and D using a leak detector.

Before inspecting the leakage, use a torque wrench to close the cap for the service valve. (Comply with a tightening torque for each size of the diameter,and tighten the cap firmly to prevent any leakage.).

To check for any possible leakage, insert inert gas into the pipes connected to indoor/outdoor units and check the connection part of the indoor/outdoor units with soap lather or liquid for leakage test.

05 INSTALLATION

Leak test with nitrogen (before opening valves)

In order to detect basic refrigerant leaks, before recreating the vacuum and recirculating the R-410A, it’s responsible of installer to pressurize the whole system with nitrogen (using a cylinder with pressure reducer) at a pressure above 40 bar (gauge).

Leak test with R-410A (after opening valves)

Before opening valves, discharge all the nitrogen from the system and create vacuum according to page 46~48. After opening valves, check leaks using a leak detector for refrigerant.

Pump down (before disconnecting the refrigerant connections for unit repair, removal or disposal) Pump-down is an operation intended to collect all the system refrigerant in the outdoor unit.

This operation must be carried out before disconnecting the refrigerant tubing in order to avoid refrigerant loss to the atmosphere.

Shut off the liquid valve with the Allen wrench.

Turn the system on in cooling with fan operating at high velocity.

(Compressor will immediately start, provided 3 minutes have elapsed since the last stop).

After 2 minutes of operation, shut the suction valve with the same wrench.

Turn the system off and switch mains supply off.

Disconnect tubing. After disconnection, protect valves and tubing ends from dust.

Compressor damage may occur if run at a negative suction pressure.

AR24HSFSSWKNTV, AR18HSFSSWKNTV, AR30HSFSSWKNTV, AR12HSFSSWKNTV specifications

Samsung has long been a leader in home appliance technology, and their lineup of air conditioners, including the AR12HSFSSWKNTV, AR30HSFSSWKNTV, AR18HSFSSWKNTV, and AR24HSFSSWKNTV models, showcases this dedication to quality and innovation. These air conditioners are engineered to provide efficient cooling and heating solutions for various room sizes, ensuring optimal comfort for users.

The AR12HSFSSWKNTV model is designed for smaller spaces, making it ideal for bedrooms or compact living areas. It features a cooling capacity of 1.0 ton, which is sufficient for areas up to 100 square feet, and incorporates Samsung’s Digital Inverter Technology, which adjusts the compressor speed and saves energy, resulting in lower electricity bills. The unit also boasts a Fast Cooling mode that rapidly cools the room, a must-have during hot summer months.

Moving up in capacity, the AR18HSFSSWKNTV and AR24HSFSSWKNTV models cater to medium and larger rooms, respectively. The AR18 model offers 1.5 tons of cooling capacity, while the AR24 provides a robust 2 tons. Both models feature advanced cooling technologies that minimize energy consumption without sacrificing performance. Their Turbo Cooling feature guarantees a quick drop in temperature, ideal for immediate relief during heatwaves.

A standout feature across these models is Samsung’s Triple Protector Plus technology, designed to safeguard the air conditioner from voltage fluctuations and extreme weather, ensuring longevity and reliability. Additionally, the Easy Filter Plus is a washable filter that captures dust and allergens, promoting cleaner air while maintaining efficient airflow.

Connectivity also plays a significant role in these air conditioners. With Wi-Fi capabilities, users can control their units from anywhere using the SmartThings app. This feature adds convenience, allowing users to set schedules, adjust temperatures, and monitor energy usage directly from their smartphones.

In terms of design, all four models sport a sleek and modern aesthetic that can blend seamlessly into any interior décor. The noise reduction technology ensures quieter operation, making them suitable for bedrooms or study spaces.

Overall, the Samsung AR12HSFSSWKNTV, AR30HSFSSWKNTV, AR18HSFSSWKNTV, and AR24HSFSSWKNTV air conditioners represent an impressive merging of style, efficiency, and technology, firmly positioning Samsung as a frontrunner in the home climate control market. Whether for small, medium, or large spaces, there's a model designed to meet specific needs while enhancing comfort in everyday living.
