WARNING
• Branch pipe can not be used after header.
• Pipe length after header branching
- It is recommended that difference in length of the pipes
connected to the indoor units (a~f) is minimized. Performance
difference between indoor units may occur.
- Indoor units should be installed at lower position than the
header.

NOTE
• * : Assume equivalent piping length of Y branch to be 0.5m, that
of header to be 1m, calculation purpose.
!
WARNING
• When the below condition is satisfied, the diameter of main pipe
(B : Compressor Module ↔ 1 st Branch) must be increased
according to below table.
- The equivalent length between Heat Exchanger Module and
the farthest indoor unit is 90m or more
(Liquid / Gas pipes are increased in accordance with below
tables)
!
WARNING
• It is recommended that difference of piping length for pipes
connected to the Indoor Unit is minimized. Performance
difference between Indoor Units may occur.
• When the any one (or both ) of below conditions are satisfied,
the diameter of main pipe (A) must be increased according to
below table.
- The equivalent length between outside unit and the farthest
indoor unit is 90m or more (Liquid and Gas pipes are
increased)

CAUTION
• Bending radius should be
at least twice the diameter
of the pipe.
• Bend pipe after 500 mm or
more from branch(or
header).
Do not bend U type.
It may cause Performance
unsatisfactory or noise.
• If want U type, bending R
is more than 200 mm.

The calculation of the additional charge should take into account the
length of pipe and CF(correction Factor) value of indoor unit.
