Suction and Discharge Piping Layout

Material and structure of suction and discharge pipe
The vibration of the compressor is small in normal operation, so it is not
necessary to use flexible joints for suction and discharge tubes, but the pipes need to
have enough flexible length to ensure the suction and discharge pipes won't cause any
stress to the compressor. It is recommended to use copper tube for the suction and
discharge piping in order to decrease the piping vibration when the compressor is in
operation.

The dimensions of suction and discharge piping:
It is suggested to design the dimension of suction and discharge piping according
to Hanbell recommendation (refer to 10.2.2).

Piping for parallel system
To improve the system operation efficiency, it’s necessary to reduce the gas-flow
resistance and consider the oil return of suction piping. The recommended piping of
suction and discharge side for parallel system is shown below:
Be aware of the area of the main pipe should not be less than the area of the other
pipes to make sure the pressure drops could be controlled in reasonable range.
