Oil trap
If the indoor unit is installed higher than the
outdoor unit:
- If the oil returns to the outdoor unit
compressor, this may result in liquid compression
or deterioration of oil return. Which can be
prevented by the oil trap in rising gas pipe.
One trap should be installed every 10m of vertical
suction piping.
CAUTION
If the outdoor unit is installed higher than the
indoor unit:
- It is recommended that you do not extend
the vertical suction. Proper oil return to the
compressor must be maintained with the speed of
the suction gas. If the speed is less than 7.62m/s,
the oil return will be reduced. One trap should be
installed every 6m of vertical suction piping.
