Device Connection Limitations
• The minimum number of connected and operating indoor units to a Multi V Water Mini system is one, taking into consideration of the mini-
mum combination ratio.
• The maximum number of indoor units on a Multi V Water Mini heat pump systems is:
One of the most critical elements of a Multi V Water Mini system is the refrigerant piping. The table below lists pipe length limits that must be
followed in the design of a Multi V Water Mini refrigerant pipe system:
