RASC-3H(V)RNE
≤ 30 m ≤ 45 m
RASC-5/10HVRNE
≤ 50 m ≤ 70 m
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 less than 8 m.
11.4.2. REFRIGERANT PIPING SELECTION
Select the piping connection sizes according to the following •
procedures:
Between RASC unit and branch pipe: -
Select the same pipe connection size as the pipe size of
the RASC Unit
Between branch pipe and Indoor Unit: -
Select the same pipe connection size as the pipe size of
the Indoor Unit
