REFRIGERANT PIPING DESIGN
Design Guideline Summary
Device Connection Limitations
Single zone systems consist of one outdoor unit and one indoor unit. One of the most critical elements of a single zone system is the refriger-
ant piping. Tables 35-37 list pipe length limits that must be followed in the design of a Single Zone Wall Mount refrigerant pipe system. Refer
to Figure 29 for maximum length and elevation of piping
Table 35: Single Zone High Efciency Refrigerant Piping System Limitations.
