Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To clearly understand that a vacuumization is performed and a sealed state is maintained by sealing a refrigerant and starting an operation after the connection of connecting pipes is carried out, they are evacuated and the sealed state is recognized and displayed. SOLUTION: Connecting pipelines 3a and 3b connect an indoor machine 2 to an outdoor machine 1. Then, a service valve 4b is connected to a vacuum pump 5 by using a charge hose. After the connecting pipes are evacuated for 10 to 15 minutes, they are left for 10 to 15 minutes. A pressure obtained immediately after the vacuumization is provided and a pressure after the pipes are left are written on a sealing state recognizing seal which is stuck and displayed onto a part near the service valve. After that, the service valves 4a and 4b are completely opened, a refrigerant is sealed and an operation is started. In this way, after the vacuum is got, it is left for a constant time and the pressures before and after the time are recorded and displayed. Thus, it can be certified that the vacuumization is performed and further, the sealed state in the refrigerant pipelines can be recognized.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a refrigerant is enclosed in an air conditioner, the refrigerant enclosed in the outdoor unit is slightly discharged,
Air was often expelled from the connecting pipe and the indoor unit pipe before the refrigerant was filled. In this case, the vacuum pump is not necessary, but whether the refrigerant pipe is sealed is
I can't confirm. This work is called air purge.

Recently, environmental problems such as ozone layer depletion and global warming caused by CFC-based refrigerants have been discussed, and it is required that the refrigerant is not released into the atmosphere. The air purge will release the refrigerant to the atmosphere, albeit slightly, and will be abolished. Vacuuming is required instead of air purging, but there is no means to confirm whether vacuuming was actually performed. When operated without vacuuming, air remains inside the pipe and the heat transfer coefficient of the refrigerant decreases, resulting in a decrease in cooling capacity and an increase in electric input. However, it is not immediately understood. It may also be secretly purging air. You can't find this unless you're at the scene. Therefore, it is necessary to have some means by which it can be understood that the vacuuming has been carried out.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First, a conventional refrigerant enclosing method will be described with reference to FIGS. Conventionally, air purging was performed after connecting the pipes. The service valve 4a is slightly opened, and the connection pipes 3a and 3b and the pipes of the indoor unit 2 are filled with the refrigerant of the outdoor unit to make the pressure high. After that, the valve core of the service valve 4b is pushed to open to the atmosphere, and the air in the pipe and the refrigerant are released into the atmosphere together. In this way, most of the air in the pipe can be removed. After that, both service valves were fully opened, the refrigerant was filled, and the operation was started.

On the other hand, according to the present invention, as shown in FIG.
The work of evacuating and confirming the seal is replaced by air purging. An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. First, the connection pipes 3a and 3b are connected between the indoor unit 2 and the outdoor unit 1. Next, the service valve 4b is connected to the vacuum pump 5 using a charge hose. After evacuating for 10 to 15 minutes, it is left to stand for 10 to 15 minutes. The pressure immediately after evacuation and the pressure after leaving it are written on the seal confirmation sticker, which is displayed near the service valve. After that, the service valve is fully opened, the refrigerant is filled, and the operation is started. An example of the seal confirmation seal is shown in FIG.
