Dangerous Voltage

1.1 Safety Precautions in Repair

Be sure to disconnect all remote electric power supplies before servicing. Internal
components and circuit boards are at main potential when the equipment is
connected to the power cables. This voltage is extremely dangerous and may
cause death or severe injury if come in contact with it.

Do not touch the discharging refrigerant gas during the repair work.
The refrigerant gas can cause frostbite.

Release the refrigerant gas completely at a well-ventilated place first.


Otherwise, when the pipe is disconnected, refrigerant gas or refrigerating
machine oil discharges and it can cause injury.

When the refrigerant gas leaks during work, execute ventilation. If the refrigerant
gas touches to a fire, poisonous gas generates. A case of leakage of the
refrigerant and the closed room full with gas is dangerous because a shortage of
oxygen occurs. Be sure to execute ventilation.

When removing the front panel or cabinet, execute short-circuit and discharge
between high voltage capacitor terminals. If discharge is not executed, an electric
shock is caused by high voltage resulted in a death or injury.

Be sure to provide the grounding when repairing the equipment in a humid or


wet place, to avoid electrical shocks.

Checks to the area


Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety
checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimised. For repair to
the refrigerating system, the following precautions shall be complied with prior to
conducting work on the system.
Work procedure
Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise the risk of
a flammable gas or vapour being present while the work is being performed.

General work area


All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the
nature of work being carried out. Work in confined spaces shall be avoided. The
area around the workspace shall be sectioned off. Ensure that the conditions within
the area have been made safe by control of flammable material.

Checking for presence of refrigerant


The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to and during
work, to ensure the technician is aware of potentially flammable atmospheres. Ensure
that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with flammable
refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
Presence of fire extinguisher
If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated
parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a
dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.

5. Trouble Shooting

No ignition sources
No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigeration system which involves
exposing any pipe work that contains or has contained flammable refrigerant
shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead to the risk of
fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including cigarette smoking,
should be kept sufficiently far away from the site of installation, repairing,
removing and disposal, during which flammable refrigerant can possibly be
released to the surrounding space. Prior to work taking place, the area around
the equipment is to be surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable
hazards or ignition risks. “No Smoking” signs shall be displayed.

Ventilated area
Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before
breaking into the system or conducting any hot work. A degree of ventilation
shall continue during the period that the work is carried out. The ventilation
should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally
into the atmosphere.

Checks to the refrigeration equipment


Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for the purpose
and to the correct specification. At all times the manufacturer’s maintenance and
service guidelines shall be followed. If in doubt consult the manufacturer’s
technical department for assistance.
The following checks shall be applied to installations using flammable
refrigerants:
- The actual refrigerant charge is in accordance with the room size within which
the refrigerant containing parts are installed
- The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not
obstructed
- If an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuit shall be
checked for the presence of refrigerant
- Marking to the equipment continues to be visible and legible. Markings and
signs that are illegible shall be corrected
- Refrigeration pipe or components are installed in a position where they are
unlikely to be exposed to any substance which may corrode refrigerant
containing components, unless the components are constructed of materials
which are inherently resistant to being corroded or are suitably protected
against being so corroded.

Checks to electrical devices


Repair and maintenance to electrical components shall include initial safety checks
and component inspection procedures. If a fault exists that could compromise safety,
then no electrical supply shall be connected to the circuit until it is satisfactorily dealt
with. If the fault cannot be corrected immediately but it is necessary to continue
operation, an adequate temporary solution shall be used. This shall be reported to
the owner of the equipment so all parties are advised.

5. Trouble Shooting

Initial safety checks shall include


- Capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid
possibility of sparking.
- No live electrical components and wiring are exposed While charging,
recovering or purging the system.
- Continuity of earth bonding

Repairs to sealed components


During repairs to sealed components, all electrical supplies shall be
disconnected from the equipment being worked upon prior to any removal of
sealed covers, etc. If it is absolutely necessary to have an electrical supply to
equipment during servicing, then a permanently operating form of leak detection
shall be located at the most critical point to warn of a potentially hazardous
situation. Particular attention shall be paid to the following to ensure that by
working on electrical components, the casing is not altered in such a way that
the level of protection is affected. This shall include damage to cables, excessive
number of connections, terminals not made to original specification, damage to
seals, incorrect fitting of glands, etc. Ensure that apparatus is mounted securely.
Ensure that seals or sealing materials have not degraded such that they no
longer serve the purpose of preventing the ingress of flammable atmospheres.
Replacement parts shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications
NOTE
The use of silicon sealant can inhibit the effectiveness of some types of leak
detection equipment. Intrinsically safe components do not have to be isolated
prior to working on them.

Repair to intrinsically safe components


Do not apply any permanent inductive or capacitance loads to the circuit without
ensuring that this will not exceed the permissible voltage and current permitted
for the equipment in use. Intrinsically safe components are the only types that
can be worked on while live in the presence of a flammable atmosphere.
The test apparatus shall be at the correct rating. Replace components only with
parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts may result in the ignition of
refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak

Cabling Check
Cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration,
sharp edges or any other adverse environmental effects. The check shall also
take into account the effects of ageing or continual vibration from sources such
as compressors or fans.

Detection of flammable refrigerants


Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the
searching for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other
detector using a naked flame) shall not be used.

5. Trouble Shooting

Leak detection methods


The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for systems containing
flammable refrigerants. Electronic leak detectors shall be used to detect flammable
refrigerants, but the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may need re-calibration.
(Detection equipment shall be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area.)
Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for
the refrigerant used. Leak detection equipment shall be set at a percentage of
the LFL of the refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the refrigerant employed and
the appropriate percentage of gas (25 % maximum) is confirmed. Leak detection
fluids are suitable for use with most refrigerants but the use of detergents
containing chlorine shall be avoided as the chlorine may react with the
refrigerant and corrode the copper pipe-work. If a leak is suspected, all naked
flames shall be removed/extinguished. If a leakage of refrigerant is found which
requires brazing, all of the refrigerant shall be recovered from the system, or
isolated (by means of shut off valves) in a part of the system remote from the
leak. Oxygen free nitrogen (OFN) shall then be purged through the system both
before and during the brazing process.

Removal and evacuation


When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs – or for any other
purpose - conventional procedures shall be used. However, it is important that
best practice is followed since flammability is a consideration. The following
procedure shall be adhered to:
- Remove refrigerant
- Purge the circuit with inert gas
- Evacuate
- Purge again with inert gas
- Open the circuit by cutting or brazing.
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders.
The system shall be “flushed” with OFN to render the unit safe. This process
may need to be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen shall not be
used for this task. Flushing shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the
system with OFN and continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved,
then venting to atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a vacuum. This process
shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the system. When the final OFN
charge is used, the system shall be vented down to atmospheric pressure to
enable work to take place. This operation is absolutely vital if brazing operations
on the pipe-work are to take place. Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump
is not close to any ignition sources and there is ventilation available.

5. Trouble Shooting

Charging procedures
In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall
be followed.
- Ensure that contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using
charging equipment. Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible to minimise
the amount of refrigerant contained in them.
- Cylinders shall be kept upright.
- Ensure that the refrigeration system is earthed prior to charging the system
with refrigerant.
- Label the system when charging is complete (if not already).
- Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill the refrigeration system. Prior to
recharging the system it shall be pressure tested with OFN. The system shall
be leak tested on completion of charging but prior to commissioning. A follow
up leak test shall be carried out prior to leaving the site.

Decommissioning
Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician is
completely familiar with the equipment and all its detail. It is recommended good
practice that all refrigerants are recovered safely. Prior to the task being carried
out, an oil and refrigerant sample shall be taken in case analysis is required prior
to re-use of reclaimed refrigerant. It is essential that electrical power is available
before the task is commenced.
a) Become familiar with the equipment and its operation.
b) Isolate system electrically.
c) Before attempting the procedure ensure that: • mechanical handling
equipment is available, if required, for handling refrigerant cylinders; • all
personal protective equipment is available and being used correctly; • the
recovery process is supervised at all times by a competent person; • recovery
equipment and cylinders conform to the appropriate standards.
d) Pump down refrigerant system, if possible.
e) If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that refrigerant can be
removed from various parts of the system.
f) Make sure that cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes place.
g) Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with manufacturer's
instructions.
h) Do not overfill cylinders. (No more than 80 % volume liquid charge).
i) Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even
temporarily.
j) When the cylinders have been filled correctly and the process completed,
make sure that the cylinders and the equipment are removed from site
promptly and all isolation valves on the equipment are closed off.
k) Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system
unless it has been cleaned and checked.

5. Trouble Shooting

Labelling
Equipment shall be labelled stating that it has been de-commissioned and emptied
of refrigerant. The label shall be dated and signed. Ensure that there are labels on
the equipment stating the equipment contains flammable refrigerant.

Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning,
it is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely.
When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant
recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for
holding the total system charge are available. All cylinders to be used are
designated for the recovered refrigerant and labelled for that refrigerant (i.e. special
cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure
relief valve and associated shut-off valves in good working order. Empty recovery
cylinders are evacuated and, if possible, cooled before recovery occurs. The
recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of instructions
concerning the equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery of
flammable refrigerants. In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall be
available and in good working order. Hoses shall be complete with leak-free
disconnect couplings and in good condition. Before using the recovery machine,
check that it is in satisfactory working order, has been properly maintained and that
any associated electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition in the event of
a refrigerant release. Consult manufacturer if in doubt. The recovered refrigerant
shall be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery cylinder, and the
relevant Waste Transfer Note arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units
and especially not in cylinders. If compressors or compressor oils are to be
removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to make
certain that flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant. The
evacuation process shall be carried out prior to returning the compressor to the
suppliers. Only electric heating to the compressor body shall be employed to
accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a system, it shall be carried out
safely.

Be sure to earth the air conditioner with an earthing conductor connected to the
earthing terminal.

Conduct repair works after checking that the refrigerating cycle section has
cooled down sufficiently. Otherwise, working on the unit, the hot refrigerating
cycle section can cause burns.

Do not tilt the unit when removing panels. Otherwise, the water inside the unit
can spill and wet floor.

5. Trouble Shooting

Do not use the welder in a well-ventilated place. Using the welder in an enclosed
room can cause oxygen deficiency.

Be sure to turn off power switch before connect or disconnect connector, or parts
damage may be occurred.

1.2 Inspections after Repair

Check to see if the terminal block is not dirty or loose. If terminal block is dust or
loose it can cause an electrical shock or fire.

Do not use a joined power cable or extension cable, or share the same power
outlet with other electrical appliances. otherwise, it can cause an electrical shock,
excessive heat generation or fire.

Do not insert hands or other objects through the air inlet or outlet while the
product is operating. There are sharp and moving parts that could cause
personal injury.

Do not block the inlet or outlet of air flow. It may cause product failure

Check to see if the parts are mounted correctly and wires are connected.
Improper installation and connections can cause an electric shock or an injury.

Check the installation platform or frame has corroded. Corroded installation


platform or frame can cause the unit to fall, resulting in injury.

Be sure to check the earth wire is correctly connected.

After the work has finished, be sure to do an insulation tset to check the
resistance is 2[Mohm] or more between the charge section and the non-charge
metal section (Earth position). If the resistance value is low, a disaster such as a
leak or electric shock is caused at user’s side.

Check the drainage of the indoor unit after the repair. If drainage is faulty the
water to enter the room and wet floor.

7.4 Defrost Control (Heating)


• Defrost operation is controlled by timer and sensing temperature of outdoor pipe.
• The first defrost starts only when the outdoor pipe temperature falls below -11°C after starting of heating operation and
more than 10 minutes operation of compressor.
• Defrost ends after 15 minutes passed from starting of defrost operation when the outdoor rises over 40°C even before
12 minutes.
• The second defrost starts only when the outdoor pipe temperature falls below – 6°C after from ending of the first
defrost and more than 10 minutes operation of compressor.

Part 3 Basic Control

1. Normal operation
Basic principle is to control the rpm of the motor by changing the working frequency of the compressor.
Three phase voltage is supplied to the motor and the time for which the voltage will supplied is controlled by IPM
(intelligent power module).
Switching speed of IPM defines the variable frequency input to the motor.

※ 14,16k Models
Frequency that corresponds to each rooms capacity will be determined according to the difference in the tempera-
ture of each room and the temperature set by the remote controller.
There are various factors determining the frequency.

2. Compressor control
Fuzzy control : Maintain evaporating temperature (Te) to be constant on cooling mode and constant condensing temper-
ature (Tc) on heating mode by fuzzy control to ensure the stable system performance.

Inverter linear control as cooling and heating load increasing

※ 14, 16k Models


Capacity steps of compressor are decided by summation of capacity code, outdoor temp., indoor temp., step com-
pensation of temperature difference indoor temp. and setting temp.

3. EEV( Electronic Expansion Valve) control


EEV operates with fuzzy control rules to keep the degree of superheat (about 2~3℃) at the evaporator outlet status.
The degree of superheat = Tsuction – Tevaporation
Tsuction : temperature at suction pipe sensor(℃)
Tevaporation : evaporation temperature (℃)

※ 14, 16k Models


EEV operates with PI control rules to keep the degree of superheat at the evaporator inlet and outlet status.
