PIPE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR UNIT
ENGLISH
Example : 5 Indoor Units connected
Ⓐ : Outdoor Unit
Ⓑ : 1st branch (Y branch)
Ⓒ : Y branch
Ⓓ : Indoor Unit
Ⓔ : Header
Ⓕ : Sealed piping
Branch pipe can not be used after header
Combination of Y branch/header method
• * : Assume equivalent pipe length of Y branch to be 0.5m, that of header to be 1m, cal-
culation purpose
• Indoor Unit should be installed at lower position than the header.
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.
• When the any one (or both ) of below conditions are satisfied, the diameter of main pipe
(A) must be increased according to below table.
- The equivalent length between outdoor unit and the farthest indoor unit is 90m or more
(Liquid and Gas pipes are increased)
