Pipe Sizing For Arub Series Heat Recovery Systems; Heat Recovery Triple-Frame Connections; Heat Recovery Triple-Frame Connection Pipe Sizes - LG Multi IV Engineering Manual

REFRIGERANT PIPING DESIGN
Piping Design Guideline Summary
The following is an example of manual pipe size calculations. Designers are highly encouraged to use LATS instead of manual calculations.

Pipe Sizing for ARUB Series Heat Recovery Systems

For dual-frame systems, the pipe segment connecting the two outdoor unit frames contains a Y-branch connector. The
two pipe segments ("A") that connect the multi-frame Y-branch fitting to each outdoor unit frame must be the same
diameter of the outdoor unit pipe connection.
Similar for triple-frame systems, the pipe segments ("A1, A2, A3") that connect the multi-frame outdoor unit Y-branch
fittings to the outdoor unit frames must also match the outdoor unit frame pipe diameter. Main pipe segment D diam-
eters are sized by LATS. See the table below to properly size the diameter of pipe segment B.

• Largest-capacity outdoor units must be the master in a multi-frame system and placed in the position closest to pipe segment "D" in
the figure above.
• Single-compressor outdoor units (72,000 Btu/h capacity) cannot be the master outdoor units in a multi-frame system.
• Master outdoor unit capacity must be greater than or equal to the slave1 outdoor unit capacity, and, where applicable, slave1 outdoor
unit capacity must be greater than or equal to the slave2 outdoor unit capacity.
• Insulate all refrigerant system piping and piping connections separately as detailed on page 146.
