Refrigerant Piping
Step 1: Cut pipes
When preparing refrigerant pipes, take extra
care to cut and flare them properly. This will
ensure efficient operation and minimize the
need for future maintenance.
1. Measure the distance between the indoor
and outdoor units.
2. Using a pipe cutter, cut the pipe a little longer
than the measured distance.
3. Make sure that the pipe is cut at a perfect 90°
angle.
The outdoor unit is installed higher than the
indoor unit
CAUTION
If the outdoor unit is installed higher than the
indoor unit:
-It is recommended that vertical suction risers
not be upsized. Proper oil return to the
compressor should be maintained with suction
gas velocity. If velocities drop below7.62m/s
(1500fpm (feet per minute)), oil return will be
decreased. An oil trap should be installed every
6m(20ft) of vertical suction line riser.
CAUTION
•
The branching pipe must be installed
horizontally. An angle of more than 10° may
cause malfunction.
•
DO NOT
install the connecting pipe until
both indoor and outdoor units have been
installed.
•
Insulate both the gas and liquid piping to
prevent water leakage.
Oil traps
CAUTION
•
If the indoor unit is installed higher than the
outdoor unit:
An oil trap should be installed every 10m
(32.8ft) of vertical suction line riser.
-If oil flows back into the outdoor unit’s
compressor, this might cause liquid
compression or deterioration of oil return.
Oil traps in the rising gas piping can prevent
this.
The indoor unit is installed higher than the
outdoor unit
