36 Outdoor Unit
Refrigerant piping installation
➲ Refrigerant pipe diameter from branch to branch (B,C)
➲ Total pipe length = A+B+C+a+b+c+d+e ≤ 1,000m
Longest pipe length * Equivalent pipe length
A+B+b ≤ 150m A+B+b ≤ 175m
Longest pipe length after 1st branch
B+b ≤ 40m

WARNING
It is recommended that difference of piping length for pipes connected to the Indoor Unit is
minimized. Performance difference between Indoor Units may occur.

• * :
Assume equivalent pipe length of Y branch to be 0.5m, that of header to be 1m, calculation purpose
• Indoor Unit should be installed at lower position than the header.
