e.x.1: Refer to Fig.5-2, the capacity of downstream units to L2 is
71×2+140+28=310, i.e. low pressure gas pipe for L2 is Ø22.2, high
pressure gas pipe is Ø19.1, high pressure liquid pipe is Ø12.7.
5.4 Size of joint pipes for outdoor unit
Based on the following tables, select the diameters of outdoor unit main
connective pipe. When the main pipe accessory is larger on the indoor unit,
use the larger pipe accessory.

5.7 Example
1) Take (10+12+16) HP for the three modules as an example to clarify the
pipe selection.
2) Take Fig.5-2 as an example, providing that the equivalent length of all
pipes in this system is larger than 90m.
