PIPE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR UNIT
ENGLISH
Y branch method
Example : 5 Indoor Units connected
Ⓐ : Outdoor Unit
Ⓑ : 1st branch (Y branch)
Ⓒ : Indoor Units
L 80 m
H 30 m
l 40 m
• * : Assume equivalent pipe length of Y branch to be 0.5 m, that of header to be 1 m,
calculation purpose.
Total pipe length = A+B+C+D+a+b+c+d+e ≤ 300 m
L
Longest pipe length Equivalent pipe length(*)
A+B+C+D+e ≤ 80 m A+B+C+D+e ≤ 100 m
l
Longest pipe length after 1st branch
B+C+D+e ≤ 40 m
H
Difference in height (Outdoor Unit ÷ Indoor Unit)
H ≤ 30 m (20 m : Outdoor Unit is lower than Indoor Units)
h
Difference in height (Indoor Unit ÷ Indoor Unit)
h ≤ 15 m
