Distribution Kit Model Remarks
If the sum of pipe length (b+c+d+e+f+g+p) is over 45m,(but not exceed : 90m)
Increase pipe size of b, c, d, e, f, g. (b, c, d, e, f, g : pipe 1 size up)
If main pipe size is not increased,
a+bx2+cx2+dx2+ex2+fx2+gx2+h+i+j+k+l+m+n+p ≤ 1000 m
If main pipe size is increased,
ax2+bx2+cx2+dx2+ex2+fx2+gx2+h+i+j+k+l+m+n+p ≤ 1000 m
h, i, j,...p ≤ 45 m
The difference between the distance of the outdoor unit to the farthest indoor
unit and the distance of the outdoor unit to the nearest indoor unit ≤ 45m
(a+b+c+d+e+f+g+p) - (a+h) ≤ 45m
Required condition Example
*2) As an outdoor unit is located in a lower position than indoor unit, level difference is 40m.
❈ The refrigerant amount of the system must be less than 100kg. For more detail, refer to the page VI-24.
