Provisionally select an outdoor unit using the sum of the capacity indexes (CIs) of the selected indoor units (as shown
in Table 1-5.5), ensuring that the combination ratio is between 50% and 130%. Refer to Table 1-5.6. As the sum of CIs
of the indoor units is 120. For the 10kW unit is not suitable, try to select 12kW unit.
The number of connected indoor units is 4 and the maximum number of connected indoor units on the 12kW outdoor
unit is 7, so the number of connected indoor units is within the limitation.
Calculate the corrected capacity of the outdoor unit:
a) The sum of the indoor unit CIs is 120 and the CI of the 12kW outdoor unit is 120, so the combination ratio is 120 /
120 = 100%.
b) Using the outdoor unit’s cooling capacity table, interpolate to obtain the capacity (“B”) corrected for outdoor air
temperature, indoor air temperature, and combination ratio. Refer to Tables 1-5.8 and 1-5.9.

d) Calculate the corrected capacity of MDV-V42W/DHN1(At) (“C”) by using K1:
C = B × K1 = 11.2 × 0.968 =10.84kW
The corrected capacity 10.84 kW is larger than required total heat load 10.5kW, so selection is complete.
