2.2.4 Cautions for Brazing

(1) Make sure there is nitrogen protection during welding.
Brazing without carrying out nitrogen replacement or releasing nitrogen into the piping
will create large quantities of oxidized film on the inside of the pipes, adversely affecting
valves and compressors in the refrigerating system and preventing normal operation.
(2) When brazing while inserting nitrogen into the piping, nitrogen must be set to 0.02 MPa
with a pressure-reducing valve (=just enough so that it can be felt on the skin).

1. Refrigerant piping
2. Part to be brazed
3. Taping
4. Hands valve
5. Pressure-reducing valve
6. Nitrogen
(3) For details, see manual of the outdoor unit.
