Performing leak test & insulation
5. Select the insulation of the refrigerant pipe.
t Insulate the gas side and liquid side pipe referring to the thickness according to the pipe size.
t Indoor temperature of 86 °F(30 °C) and humidity of 85% is the standard condition.If install in a high humidity condition,use
one grade thicker insulator by referring to the table below.If installing in an unfavorable conditions, use a thicker wall
insulation.
t Insulator’s heat-resistance temperature should be more than 248 °F (120 °C).

t When installing insulation in places and conditions below, use the same insulation that is used for high humidity conditions.
<Geological condition>
- High humidity places such as shoreline, hot spring, near lake or river, and ridge (when the part of the building is covered by
earth and sand.)
<Operation purpose condition>
- Restaurant ceiling, sauna, swimming pool etc.
<Building construction condition>
- The ceiling frequently exposed to moisture and cooling is not covered.e.g. The pipe installed at a corridor of a dormitory and
studio or near an exit that opens and closes frequently.
- The place where the pipe is installed is highly humid due to the lack of ventilation system.
