Notes:
1. Pitch the liquid line 1 inch per 10 feet (1 cm per 3 m) so that the liquid refrigerant drains toward the indoor coil. Use
the liquid-line size recommended in
, or
2.
Provide one expansion valve (TXV) per distributor.
TWA heat pumps only
: Provide one check valve for each expansion valve.
3.
Pitch the gas line leaving the coil so that it slopes away from the coil by 1 inch per 10 feet (1 cm per 3 m).
4. Use the DETINT to prevent oil and refrigerant migration when the unit is off. The DETINT also serves to isolate the
TXV bulb from suction-header conditions. See
“Line Sizing, Routing, and Component Selection,” p. 9
5.
For all coil branch circuits in the gas line, use a tube diameter that is one size smaller than the gas-line size
recommended in
or
.
6. For vertical risers, use the tube diameter recommended in the Component selection tables, found in
or
. Ensure that the top of the riser is at least 1 foot (30 cm) above the lowest point.
7. Pitch the gas line 1 inch per 10 feet (1 cm per 3 m) toward the indoor coil.
8.
Insulate the gas line.
