Refrigerant piping work
2-2. Selection of Copper and Heat Insulation materials
• When using commercial copper pipes and fittings, observe the following:
1) Insulation material: Polyethylene foam
Heat transfer rate: 0.041 to 0.052kW/mK (0.035 to 0.045 kcal/mh
°
C)
Refrigerant gas pipe’s surface temperature reaches 110
°
C max.
Choose heat insulation materials that will withstand this temperature.
2) Be sure to insulate both the gas and liquid piping and to provide insulation dimen-
sions as below.
3) Use separate thermal insulation pipes for gas and liquid refrigerant pipes.
