Selection of refrigerant branch kits
Refrigerant refnets
■
When using refnet joints at the first branch counted from the
outdoor unit side, choose from the following table in accordance
with the capacity of the outdoor unit (example: refnet joint a)
■
For refnets joints other than the first branch (example refnet
joint b), select the proper branch kit model based on the total
capacity index of all indoor units connected after the refrigerant
branch.
■
Concerning refnet headers, choose from the following table in
accordance with the total capacity of all the indoor units
connected below the refnet header:

System piping limitations
Piping length restrictions
Make sure to perform the piping installation within the range of the
maximum allowable pipe length, allowable level difference and
allowable length after branching as indicated below:

NOTE
When the equivalent pipe length between outdoor and
indoor units is 90 m or more, the size of the main liquid
pipe must be increased. Never increase discharge gas
pipe sizes.
Depending on the length of the piping, the capacity
may drop, but even in such a case it is possible to
increase the size of the main liquid pipe.
Make sure to perform the piping installation within the
range of the maximum allowable pipe length, allowable
level difference and allowable length after branching as
indicated above.
