138 Installation
pipe must be equipped with water storing elbow.
Function of water storing elbow:
When indoor unit is in motion, prevent generating negative pressure to cause drainage difficulty or blow
water out of the air outlet.
Installation of water storing elbow:
1. Install water storing elbow as shown in following figure: H shall be above 50mm.
2. Install one water storing elbow for each unit.
3. When installation, consider it shall be convenient in future clean.
4.3 Concentrated Drainage Pipe
4.3.1 Pipeline diameter of concentrated drainage pipe
Select drainage pipe diameter according to indoor unit’s combined flow volume.
E.g. If one 1HP unit with 2L/h discharging condensate water, the calculation of the combined flow
volume of three 2HP units and two 1.5HP units is: 2HP×2L/h×3 + 1.5HP×2L/h×2 =18L

4.3.4 Operation process of concentrated drainage
Install indoor unit → connect drainage pipe → water passing test and overflowing water test → thermal 
insulation of drainage pipe
