Selecting the insulator of the refrigerant pipe
f
According to pipes size, insulate pipes on gas and liquid side by selecting appropriate insulations.
f
Standard condition is under a temperature of 30 °C and a humidity of 85 %. If the units are installed in extreme weather
conditions, select the insulator by table below.

• Install the insulation not to be get wider and use the adhesives on the connection part of it to prevent moisture
entering.
• Wind the refrigerant pipe with insulation tape if it is exposed to outside sunlight.
• Install the refrigerant pipe respecting that the insulation does not get thinner on the bent part or hanger of pipe.
CAUTION
Insulating the refrigerant pipe
f
You must check if there is a gas leak before completing all the installation process.
