Fig. 16 —Piping Design (Case 2)
• Bends in piping cause pressure loss during transportation of refrigerant, so fewer bends increase performance.
• The equivalent length of each bend is 1.64 feet.
• The equivalent length header is 1.64 feet.
• The pipe length difference between each IDU must not exceed 49 feet.
Table 7 —Piping Length
Table 8 —Selection of “L1”
*When the length of L1 > 230 feet, the gas pipe should be increased from 5/8” to 3/4” or from 3/4” to 7/8”. The pipe adapter must be
located as close as possible to the ODU.
