Always check the gas density WARNING limit for the room in which the
unit is installed.
When installing an air conditioner in a room, it is neces- sary to ensure that even if the refrigerant gas accidentally leaks out, its density does not exceed the limit level for that room.
If the density could exceed the limit level, it is necessary to provide an opening between the unit and the adjacent room, or to install mechanical ventilation which is inter- locked with the leak detector.
(Total refrigerant charged amount: oz)
(Min. indoor volume where the indoor unit is installed: ft.3)
<Limit density 0.3 (oz/ft.3)
The limit density of refrigerant which is used in this unit is 0.3 oz/ft.3 (ISO 5149).
The shipped outdoor unit comes charged with the amount of refrigerant fixed for each type, so add it to the amount that is charged in the field. (For the refrigerant charge amount at shipment, refer to the unit’s nameplate.)
CAUTION | Pay special attention to any |
| location, such as a basement, |
| |
| etc., where leaking refrigerant |
| can accumulate, since refrig- |
| erant gas is heavier than air. |
1-11. Installing Distribution Joint
(1)Refer to “HOW TO ATTACH DISTRIBUTION JOINT” enclosed with the optional distribution joint kit
(2)In order to prevent accumulation of refrigerant oil in stopped units, if the main tubing is horizontal then each branch tubing length should be at an angle that is greater than horizontal. If the main tubing is vertical, provide a raised starting portion for each branch.
(3)If there are height differences between indoor units or if branch tubing that follows a distribution joint is connect- ed to only 1 unit, a trap or ball valve must be added to that distribution joint. (When adding the ball valve, locate it within 1.3 ft. of the distribution joint.)
(Consult with SANYO separately concerning the ball valve.)
If a trap or ball valve is not added, do not operate the system before repairs to a malfunctioning unit are completed. (The refrigerant oil sent through the tubing to the malfunctioning unit will accumulate and may damage the compressor.)
Minimum indoor volume & floor area as against the amount of refrigerant is roughly as given in the following table.
