Guidelines for remote condenser application 

 

Design  of  remote  condenser  application,  and,  in  particular,  sizing  of  piping  and  piping  path,  is  a  responsibility  of  plant 
designer. This paragraph is only focused to give suggestion to plant designer, this suggestions have to be weighted with 
references to application peculiarities. 
 
For  remote  condenser  application,  such  as  aircooled  or  evaporative  condensers,  the  chillers  are  shipped  with  holding 

Nitrogen

 charge. It is important that the unit be kept tightly closed until the remote condenser is installed and piped to the 

unit. 
Chillers are supplied with filter drier, moisture indicator and expansion valve factory mounted as standard.  
 
It  is  the  contractor’s  responsibility  to  install  the  interconnection  piping,  leak  test  it  and  the  entire  system,  evacuate  the  
system and supply the refrigerant charge. 
 
All piping must be conformed to the applicable local and state codes.  
Use refrigerant grade copper tubing only and isolate the refrigeration lines from building structures to prevent transfer of 
vibration.  
It is important that the discharge lines be looped at the condenser and trapped at the compressor to prevent refrigerant 
and oil from draining into the compressors; looping the discharge line also provide greater  flexibility. 
  
Do not use a saw to remove end caps.  This might allow copper chips to contaminate the system. Use a tube cutter or 
heat  to  remove  caps.  W hen  sweating  copper  joints  it  is  important  to  flow  dry  nitrogen  through  the  system  prior  to 
charging with refrigerant.  This prevents scale formation and the possible formation of an explosive mixture of HFC134a 
and  air.  This  will  also  prevent  the  formation  of  toxic  phosgene  gas,  which  occurs  when HFC134a  is  exposed  to  open 
flame.  
Soft solders are not to be used. For coppertocopper joints use a phoscopper solder with 6% to 8% silver content. A high 
silver content brazing rod must be used for coppertobrass or coppertosteel joints. Only use oxyacetylene brazing.  
 
After  the  equipment  is  correctly  installed,  leak  tested  and  evacuated,  it  can  be  charged  with  R134a  refrigerant  and 
started under the supervision of Daikin authorized technician. 
 
Charge  will  be  added  until  the  liquid  line  sight  glass  is  clear,  with  no  bubbles  flowing  into  the  expansion  valve.  Total 
refrigerant charge will depend on the used remote condenser and volume of refrigerant piping 
 

Refrigerant piping design 

The system can be configured in any of the main arrangements as shown in Figures 6, 7 and 8. The configuration and its 
associated elevation, along with the total distance between the chiller and the aircooled cond enser are important factors 
in  determining  the  liquid  line  and  discharge  line  sizes.  This  will  also  affect  the  field  refrigerant  charges.  Consequently, 
there are physical limits that must not be violated if the system is to operate as designed.  
 
1. 

The total distance between the chiller and the aircooled condenser should not exceed 60 equivalent meters   

2. 

Liquid line risers must not exceed 5 meters in height from the condenser liquid line connection.   

3. 

Discharge line risers cannot exceed an elevation difference greater than 30 actual meters.
