L10: Length from the first branch to the farthest IDU; 
L11: Length from the first branch to the nearest IDU; 
Equivalent length of branch of IDU is 0.5m. 
Total length (actual length) of fitting pipe 
L1+L2+L3+L4+…+L9+a+b+…+i+j 
Length of farthest fitting 
pipe(m) 
Difference between the pipe length from the first branch of IDU 
to the farthest IDU and the pipe length from the first branch of 
IDU to the nearest IDU 
Equivalent length from the first branch to the furthest piping (1) 
Height difference 
between outdoor unit 
and indoor unit 
Height difference between indoor units (m) 
Maximum length of Main pipe(2) 
From IDU to its nearest branch (3) 
Note: 
(1) Normally, the pipe length from the first branch of IDU to the farthest IDU is 40m. When those 
three conditions as below are satisfied, the length can reached 90m. 
① Actual length of pipe in total: L1+L2x2+L3x2+L4x2+…+L9x2+a+b+…+i+j≤1000m; 
② Length between each IDU and its nearest branch a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j≤40m; 
③ Difference between the pipe length from the first branch of IDU to the farthest IDU and the pipe 
length from the first branch of IDU to the nearest IDU: L10-L11≤40m. 
(2) When the maximum length of the main pipe from ODU to the first branch of IDU is≥90m, then 
adjust the pipe size of the gas pipe and liquid pipe of main pipe according to the following table.
