7 FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKS

Installation/Servicing Tools

Changes in the product and components

In the case of an air conditioner using R410A, in order to prevent any other refrigerant from being charged acciden- tally, service port diameter of the outdoor unit control valve (3 way valve) has been changed. (1/2 UNF 20 threads per inch)

In order to increase the pressure resisting strength of the refrigerant piping flare processing diameter and size of opposite side of flare nuts has been changed. (for copper pipes with nominal dimensions 1/2 and 5/8)

Changes

 

 

 

 

 

 

As pressure is high, it is impossible to measure by means of conventional

Gauge manifold

 

gauge. In order to prevent any other refrigerant from being charged, each

 

 

 

port diameter is changed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In order to increase pressure resisting strength, hose materials and port

Charge hose

 

size are changed (to 1/2 UNF 20 threads per inch).

 

 

 

When purchasing a charge hose, be sure to check the port size.

 

 

 

 

Electronic balance

¡

 

As pressure is high and gasification speed is fast, it is difficult to read the

for refrigerant charging

 

indicated value by means of charging cylinder, as air bubbles occur.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Torque wrench

 

The size of opposite sides of flare nuts have been increased. Incidentally,

(nominal diam. 1/2, 5/8)

 

 

a common wrench is used for nominal diameters 1/4 and 3/8.

 

 

 

 

Flare tool

¡

 

By increasing the clamp bar’s receiving hole, strength of spring in the tool

(clutch type)

 

has been improved.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gauge for projection adjustment

Used when flare is made with using conventional flare tool.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Connected to the conventional vacuum pump. It is necessary to use an

 

 

 

adapter to prevent vacuum pump oil from flowing back to the charge hose.

¡

 

The charge hose connecting part has two ports-one for conventional

 

refrigerant (7/16 UNF 20 threads per inch) and one for R410A.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the vacuum pump oil (mineral) mixes with R410A a sludge may occur

 

 

 

and damage the equipment.

 

 

 

 

Gas leakage detector

 

Exclusive for HFC refrigerant.

 

 

 

 

Incidentally, the “refrigerant cylinder” comes with the refrigerant designation (R410A) and protector coating in the U,S.’s ARI specified rose color (ARI color code: PMS 507).

Also, the “charge port and packing for refrigerant cylinder” require 1/2 UNF 20 threads per inch corresponding to the charge hose’s port size.

RAV-SM1400UT-E, RAV-SM1100UT-E specifications

Toshiba has consistently been recognized for its commitment to innovation and quality in the HVAC market, and the RAV-SM1100UT-E and RAV-SM1400UT-E models exemplify this dedication. These inverter air conditioners are designed to provide efficient cooling and heating solutions for diverse applications, ensuring comfort in both residential and commercial spaces.

One of the standout features of the RAV-SM1100UT-E and RAV-SM1400UT-E is their advanced inverter technology. This technology allows the units to adjust their cooling and heating capacities based on the real-time conditions, leading to significant energy savings compared to traditional fixed-speed systems. The inverter allows for smooth operation at varying speeds, reducing energy consumption while maintaining a consistent indoor climate.

Both models offer exceptional efficiency ratings. With a high energy efficiency ratio (EER) and seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER), these units are designed to operate sustainably while delivering powerful performance. The RAV-SM1100UT-E offers a cooling capacity of 11 kW, while the RAV-SM1400UT-E boasts a more robust 14 kW, making them suitable for a range of spaces from smaller offices to larger commercial properties.

Another significant characteristic is their quiet operation. Toshiba has engineered these units to minimize noise levels, ensuring a tranquil environment. This is particularly beneficial in settings like hotels, restaurants, and workplaces where noise can be disruptive.

The RAV-SM series is also equipped with intelligent control technology. This feature allows users to manage the system from anywhere using a smartphone app, providing convenience and flexibility. Integration with smart home systems further enhances usability, making it easy to program schedules and adjust settings remotely.

Additionally, both models employ a variety of robust filtration systems, ensuring that the circulated air is clean and healthy. With filters that capture dust, allergens, and other particles, these units contribute to improved indoor air quality.

Durability is another hallmark of Toshiba's design philosophy. These air conditioners are built with high-quality materials, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability even in demanding environments. The RAV-SM models are also designed to work efficiently in low outdoor temperatures, extending their usefulness throughout the year.

In summary, the Toshiba RAV-SM1100UT-E and RAV-SM1400UT-E air conditioners represent a fusion of innovation, efficiency, and user-centric design. With their advanced inverter technology, energy efficiency, quiet operation, intelligent controls, and durable construction, they stand as ideal solutions for those seeking effective climate management in their spaces.
