Field refrigerant piping
1-1
Inverter heat pump series
(1) The following materials should be used for all refrigerant piping.
•
Materials: Deoxidized phosphorous seamless copper pipe (for external diameters of 25.4mm or more, C1220T-0 for the rest) or equivalent
(2) Tips for insulation
•
Gas piping must be insulated.
•
If it is considered likely that the air conditioner will be operated at temperatures between 0°C and 10°C in cooling mode then the liquid pipes must
also be insulated.
•
Materials: Glass fiber or heat resistant polyethylene foam.
Thickness: 10mm or more
Heat resistance: Gas pipe : 120°C or more / Liquid pipe : 70°C or more
•
Insulation of single pipe only
•
Insulation of both liquid and gas pipe
Precautions when selecting branch piping
•
If the piping between the outdoor units is 90m or longer, be sure to enlarge the main pipe in the gas-side branch piping. Depending on the length
of the refrigerant piping, the power may drop, but even in such cases it is ok to enlarge the main pipe.
