Depending on the applicable legislation and the maximum working pressure of the unit
(see "PS High" on the unit name plate), larger piping thickness might be required.
Usage of reducers might be required based on the indoor unit. See
"7.2.6 Connections between outdoor and indoor unit using reducers"
39] for
more information.
7.1.2 Refrigerant piping insulation
▪
Use polyethylene foam as insulation material:
-
with a heat transfer rate between 0.041 and 0.052 W/mK (0.035 and
0.045 kcal/mh°C)
-
with a heat resistance of at least 120°C

If the temperature is higher than 30°C and the humidity is higher than RH 80%, the
thickness of the insulation materials should be at least 20 mm to prevent
condensation on the surface of the insulation.
Use separate thermal insulation pipes for the gas and liquid refrigerant piping.
