Straight equivalent length of joints
Design the tubing system by referring to the following table for the straight equivalent length of joints.
Straight Equivalent Length of Joints
Wide tubing size (mm)
90° elbow
45° elbow
U-shape tube bent (R60 100 mm)
Trap bend
Y-branch distribution joint
Ball valve for service
Equivalent length conversion not needed.
Equivalent length conversion not needed.
Capacity loss caused by differences in tubing diameters
Capacity loss will occur if a tubing system that matches the horsepower is not selected (for example, if a tubing
system was determined and installed with no plan for extension and extension occurs later). The loss rate can
be found from the graph below.

Currently a 20 HP system and ø28.58 Suction & Discharge tubings are used. Subsequently the system is expand-
ed, with 8 HP added to the same tubing system.
Horsepower after extension: 20 + 8 = 28 HP
From the graph above: Cooling: Capacity ratio is 96.7%. Actual capacity = 28 × 0.967 = 27.1 HP
Heating: Capacity ratio is 98.6%. Actual capacity = 28 × 0.986 = 27.6 HP
