If the outdoor unit is exposed to direct sea winds, install a
windbreaker.
▪ Height of windbreaker≥1.5×height of outdoor unit
▪ Mind the service space requirements when installing the
windbreaker.

Strong winds (≥18 km/h) blowing against the outdoor unit’s air outlet
causes short circuit (suction of discharge air). This may result in:
▪ deterioration of the operational capacity;
▪ frequent frost acceleration in heating operation;
▪ disruption of operation due to decrease of low pressure or
increase of high pressure;
▪ a broken fan (if a strong wind blows continuously on the fan, it
may start rotating very fast, until it breaks).
It is recommended to install a baffle plate when the air outlet is
exposed to wind.
It is recommended to install the outdoor unit with the air inlet facing
the wall and NOT directly exposed to the wind.

Depending on the applicable legislation and the unit's
maximum working pressure (see "PS High" on the unit
name plate), larger piping thickness might be required.
▪
Flare connections:
Only use annealed material.
Refrigerant piping diameter
Use the same diameters as the connections on the outdoor units:
L1 liquid piping
Ø9.5 mm
L1 gas piping
Ø15.9 mm
Refrigerant piping length and height difference
The piping length and height difference must comply with the
following requirements:
