• * : Assume equivalent pipe length of Y branch to be 0.5m, that of header to be 1m, cal-
culation purpose
• ** : To apply Conditional Application
• Indoor Unit should be installed at lower position than the header.
WARNING
!
• It is recommended that difference of piping length for pipes connected to the Indoor Unit
is minimized. Performance difference between Indoor Units may occur.
• When the any one (or both ) of below conditions are satisfied, the diameter of main pipe
(A) must be increased according to below table.
- The equivalent length between outdoor unit and the farthest indoor unit is 90m or more
(Liquid and Gas pipes are increased)
- The level difference (Outdoor unit ÷ Indoor unit) is 50m or more (Only liquid pipe is in-
creased)
