The First Branch Pipe
Indoor units
Fig. 4-6
Caution: Ensure both liquid and gas pipework combined does not exceed
90m.
•
Indoor unit branch pipe
Inner branch pipes are a~f, for size selection please refer to
Table 4-6
.
Note: The Maximum length of the branch pipe should not exceed
more than 15m.
•
The main pipes for the indoor units and the indoor unit branch pipe
components.
■
The downstream inner units of the main pipe L2 are N1,
N2, and its total capacity is 28×2=56, the size of pipe
L2 is
Ø
15.9/
Ø
9.5, and the branch pipe B should be
IDU - 01.

IDU - 01.
■
The downstream inner units of the main pipe L5 are N5,
N6, and its total capacity is 28+22=50, the size of pipe
L5 is
Ø
15.9/
Ø
9.5, and the branch pipe E should be
IDU - 01.
