6 SEQUENCE OF WORKS

6.1 Area of the works

Area(s) under NPP0057 Project

6.2 Testing and Commissioning of MULTI V PLUS III A/C Units

6.2.1 Pre-commissioning

• A marked up scale site drawing showing all Multi V III units and refrigeration pipe work, address settings (for
units and
remote controllers) and model/serial numbers must be produced.
• Communication wiring between Multi V III Indoor Units, Outdoor Units shall be of 1.5 Sq. mm wiring of shielded
type.
• All control wiring and remote controllers must be completed and connected.
• Before the Power Supply to Outdoor Unit is turned on, the mains wiring must be checked phase to neutral,
neutral to
earth. Once this is complete the mains isolator can be switched on to allow the crankcase heater to warm up the
coil
(minimum 24 hours)
• All power supply wiring to Indoor Units must be complete, tested and left switched on at Indoor Unit isolators.
• All Indoor Units must be clearly marked with marker pen or similar indication and label indicating address and
model/serial number.
• Pressure test and evacuation of system refrigerant pipe work must be completed as per section 3.2.3 (Pressure
Testing).
• Condensate pipe work must be completed and tested.
• Totals lengths of liquid line pipe work installed, must be confirmed by installation Engineers and marked on
drawings
for additional refrigerant charge calculation.
New Port Project
Al Jaber Trading & Contracting Co.,WLL METHOD STATEMENT
NPP0065
Port Visitor Centre – Building and Infrastructure

• Sufficient supply of refrigerant R410A in dumpy cylinders must be on site adjacent to the Outdoor Units ready for
use.
• Now charge refrigerant into pipe work based upon the additional refrigerant charge calculation.
• Outdoor Unit service valves must now be opened
.
6.2.2 Commissioning

• Connect Monitor Tool and check system connect information is correct i.e. Outdoor Unit, Indoor Unit and
Remote
controller addresses.
• Start up the system and run each Indoor Unit one by one in cooling mode to confirm correct operation superheat
and
pipe temperatures.
• Then change over all Indoor Units to heating mode and check operation, sub-cooling and pipe temperatures.
• Set up and configure all controllers/time clocks/ centralised controllers if any.
• Check operation of all accessories interlocks i.e. time clocks, centralised controllers etc.
• Check operation of all condensate pumps if fitted.
• Monitor operation for at least 1 hour. Observe and record all data.
• Complete Commissioning Log Book via paper forms provided or LG System prepared report.
Typical Marked Up Drawing of a Building with Multi V III Units

6.2.3 Pressure Testing

• Leakage Tests in MULTI V PLUS III A/C Units are carried out in 2 steps.
• Keep the Nitrogen cylinder up right.
• 1st Leakage Tests are carried out to check the sealing of Brazing part of all connected Refrigerant pipes &
accessories
without connecting the Indoor Units.
• Ensure the sealing of Brazing Parts of all connected Refrigerant pipes under the pressure of 550 psig with dry
nitrogen
for more than 24 hrs. (10 % of total units – sample based on client / consultant selection).
• 2nd Leakage Tests are carried out to check the sealing of Flare parts connected to the Indoor Units.
• Ensure the sealing of Flare Parts connected to Indoor Units & all connected Refrigerant pipes under the pressure
of
550 psig with dry nitrogen for more than 24 hrs.
• During the 2nd Leakage Tests – Nitrogen gas pressure should be increased gradually starting from 50 psig initially
increasing 100 psig every 10 minutes to maximum of 550 psig.
• If the Nitrogen pressure is increased suddenly to 250 psig the expansion valves of Indoor Unit will be damaged.
• Leakage Tests shall be carried for more than 24 hrs.
• Ensure that all service valves of the condenser units are closed.
New Port Project
Al Jaber Trading & Contracting Co.,WLL METHOD STATEMENT
NPP0065
Port Visitor Centre – Building and Infrastructure

• The pipe work being tested shall be barricaded and provided with clear legible warning notices; WARNING;
NITROGEN
TEST IN PROGRESS.
• Check with soap solution the external joints, if at any point soap bubble is found, rectify the leakage. If no
leakage
observed, go to next step.
• Keep the Nitrogen charged record the pressure of the gauge reading, atmospheric temperature and hold for
24Hrs.
• Disconnect Nitrogen charging line and gas cylinder
• Check the pressure of the piping by opening the gauge valve after 24Hrs. and record the atmospheric
temperature too.

• If no pressure drop observed, release the Nitrogen pressure in the pipe line to 75 psi and close the valve in case
the
unit is not ready for commissioning.
• Following the successful test the pipe work shall be purged prior to connection of the indoor and outdoor AC
units.
6.2.4 Evacuation

• On completion of strength/leak testing an evacuation is to be carried out to 5 Torr and held at the setting for 1 to
4
hours depending upon the pipe lengths. This will eliminate the risk of any moisture being present within the pipe
work
installation.
• Evacuate the system to 0.5 Torr from both service valves. System manifold gauges “must not” be used to
measure a
vacuum. A Torr gauge must be used at all times.
• The capacity of the Vacuum pump for Multi V should be more than 0.5 HP.
