PIPING AND WIRING FOR OUTDOOR UNIT

PIPING AND WIRING FOR OUTDOOR UNIT
Procedures about refrigerant piping and electric wiring at the outdoor are described in this
chapter. Most of procedures are similar to those of LG Air Conditioner.
Refrigerant Piping
Before starting refrigerant piping, constraints in pipe length and elevation should be examined.
After resolving all constraints, some preparations are required to proceed. Then connecting pipe
to the outdoor and the indoor unit is beginning.

A trap is not necessary
when the outdoor unit is
installed in a higher
position than the indoor
unit.
CAUTION
1
Standard pipe length is 7.5m If the pipe length is longer than 7.5m, additional charge of
the refrigerant is required according to the table.
• Example : If 16kW model is installed at a distance of 50m, 1,700g of refrigerant should
be added according to following formula : (50-7.5) x 40g = 1,700g
2
Rated capacity of the product is based on standard length and maximum allowable length
is based on the product reliability in the operation.
3
Improper refrigerant charge may result in abnormal operation.
