Are there scratches or dents on the existing pipes?
NO
Is it possible to operate the existing air conditioner?
YES
After the existing air conditioner is operated in
cooling mode for approx. 30 minutes or longer,*
recover the refrigerant.
Refer to "13 Refrigerant recovery"
For cleaning the pipes and recovering oil
Refrigerant recovery: Pump down method
Remove the existing air conditioner from the piping
and carry out flushing (nitrogen pressure 0.5 MPa)
to remove any remains inside of the pipe.
Was largely discolored oil or a large quantity
of remains discharged? (When the oil deteriorates,
the color of the oil changes to a muddy or
black color.)
NO
Connect the indoor / outdoor units to the existing
pipe.
Use a flare nut attached to the main unit for the
indoor / outdoor units. (Do not use the flare nut of
the existing pipe.)
Re-machine the flare machining size to size for
R32/R410A.

YES
Existing pipes: Cannot be used.
Use new pipes.
NO
Nitrogen gas pressure 0.5 MPa
(If there is discharge of remains, it is judged that a
large quantity of remains are present.)
YES
Clean the pipes or use new pipes.
