1.Required Tools for R410A

Mixing of different types of oil may cause a trouble such as generation of sludge, clogging of capillary, etc. Accordingly, the tools to be used are classified into the following three types.

1)Tools exclusive for R410A (Those which cannot be used for conventional refrigerant (R22))

2)Tools exclusive for R410A, but can be also used for conventional refrigerant (R22)

3)Tools commonly used for R410A and for conventional refrigerant (R22)

The table below shows the tools exclusive for R410A and their interchangeability.

Tools exclusive for R410A (The following tools for R410A are required.)

(Note 1) When flaring is carried out for R410A using the conventional flare tools, adjustment of projec- tion margin is necessary. For this adjustment, a copper pipe gauge, etc. are necessary.

(Note 2) Charging cylinder for R410A is being currently developed.

General tools (Conventional tools can be used.)

In addition to the above exclusive tools, the following equipments which serve also for R22 are necessary as the general tools.

1)Vacuum pump

Use vacuum pump by

attaching vacuum pump adapter.

2)Torque wrench

3)Pipe cutter

4)Reamer

5)Pipe bender

6)Level vial

7)Screwdriver (+, –)

8)Spanner or Monkey wrench

9)Hole core drill

10)Hexagon wrench (Opposite side 4mm)

11)Tape measure

12)Metal saw

Also prepare the following equipments for other installation method and run check.
