Oil transportation must be
ensured
When dimensioning the pipes, make sure that oil transportation is ensured under all
operating conditions. Oil transportation must be ensured using the corresponding pipe
dimensioning and pipe routing.
Keep pressure drop as low
as possible
It is also important that the pressure drop in the pipework is minimized to avoid
unnecessary decreases in capacity.The greater the selected pipe diameter, the lower
is the speed in the pipe, and the more difficult is the oil return.The smaller the selected
pipe diameter, the higher the speed and the greater the pressure drop in the pipe. The
units loses capacity and energy efficiency.
1% slope
Always lay the suction line with a 1% slope (1 cm/m) in the flow direction
Install oil traps as described at following pages.
The dimensioning of the refrigerant lines is provided in this manual.
