• Impossible installation : Head branch pipe HR unit
Refrigerant pipe diameter from branch to branch (B,C,D)
- * : Assume equivalent pipe length of Y branch to be 0.5m, that of
header to be 1m, calculation purpose
- It is recommended that indoor unit is installed at lower position than
the header.
- ** : To apply conditional application.
3) Length of pipe from each indoor unit to the HR Unit
(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,i,j,k,l,m,n) ≤ 40 m
4) [Length of pipe from outdoor unit to the farthest indoor unit D12
(A+B+C+D+e)]
- [Length of pipe outdoor unit to the closest indoor unit D1(C1+a)] ≤ 40
m
WARNING
* : Serial connection of HR units : Capacity sum of indoor units ·
192.4 kBtu/hr
• Refer to the HR unit PCB part for the valve group control setting.
• It is recommended that difference in pipe lengths between an HR
unit and indoor units, for example
difference in length of a, b, c, and d, be minimized. The larger dif-
ference in pipe lengths, the more different performance between
indoor units.
• Piping length from outdoor branch to outdoor unit ≤ 10m, equiva-
lent length : max 13m (for 22HP or more)
* If the large capacity indoor units (Over 5 HP; using over
Ø15.88/Ø9.52) are installed, it should be used the Valve Group
setting
