4.3 Select Guide of Drain Pipe for Indoor Unit
Selecting Method of Drain Pipe Diameter
<Step 1> Calculation of Drain Flow Volume
Calculate from that the drain flow volume is approximately 3 [l/hr] per 1HP of the indoor unit nominal
capacity.
For Example:
Common drain pipe for four 2HP indoor units and four 2.5HP indoor units.
(1) Total Horse Power of Indoor Unit: 42HP+42.5HP=18HP
(2) Total Drain Flow Volume: 18HP3 [l/hr.HP] =54 [l/hr]
<Step 2> Select Drain Pipe from Table A and B
(1) Horizontal Common Pipe with Slope 1/50: VP30 for above Example
(2) Horizontal Common Pipe with Slope 1/100: VP30 for above Example
(3) Vertical Common Pipe: VP30 for above Example
