11.4.1. REFRIGERANT PIPING LENGTH
The refrigerant piping between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit should be designed using the following chart. Keep the design
point within the dark area of the chart, wich is showing the applicable height difference according to piping length.
Chart for piping design:
Example in a Single and Twin systems:

L = Piping length.
NOTE:
Install the branch pipe at the location from where the piping length to the indoor units is of equal distance. However, when
different piping lengths from the branch pipe to the indoor units, due to building construction are required, the difference
between the two pipes should be as indicate in the table.
