Refrigerant Piping
To ensure the return of oil in the
refrigerant lines, it is necessary to
follow these recommendations:
1. Select the tube lengths with care
and try to avoid having a final few
meters of tube to use up. Refer to
table 2 for tube sizes.
2. Pitch all horizontal suction lines
down towards the unit to assist
gravity oil drainage back to the
compressor.
3. Avoid creating large oil traps in
horizontal suction lines as this will
reduce oil circulating in the system
and may eventually lead to failure
of the compressor.
4. A small oil trap at the end of a
horizontal suction line before a long
vertical riser (of more that 2.5
metres) has the advantage of
assisting the high velocity gas to
carry the oil up the vertical pipe.
5. The installation of a liquid line
sight is recommended. It is veryu
seful during the maintenance
procedures.
Refrigerant Piping Guidelines
A. Maximum recommended line
lengths: (per circuit)
Maximum linear length
(W/o accumulator)

B. Maximum allowable pressure
drops (R407C):

(without subcooler)
Route refrigerant piping for
minimum linear length,
minimum number of bends and
fittings (no reducers) and minimum
amount of line exposed to outdoor
ambients.

Notes: 1. Two line sets are required for dual circuits units.
2. For line lengths over 80 linear feet and 15 feet liquid line riser,
consult your local Trane representative.
Note: Insulate all refrigerant piping
and connections.
