5. Select the insulation of the refrigerant pipe.
•
Insulate the gas side and liquid side pipe referring to the thickness according to the pipe size.
•
Indoor temperature of 30°C and humidity of 85% is the standard condition.
If installing in a high humidity condition, use one grade thicker insulator by referring to the table below.
If installing in an unfavorable conditions, use thicker one.
•
Insulator's heat-resistance temperature should be more than 120°C.

Ø28.58~Ø44.45
•
When installing insulation in places and conditions below, use the same insulation that is used for high humidity
conditions.
<Geological condition>
-
High humidity places such as shoreline, hot spring, near lake or river, and ridge (when the part of the building is
covered by earth and sand.)
<Operation purpose condition>
-
Restaurant ceiling, sauna, swimming pool etc.
<Building construction condition>
-
The ceiling frequently exposed to moisture and cooling is not covered.
e.g. The pipe installed at a corridor of a dormitory and studio or near an exit that opens and closes frequently.
-
The place where the pipe is installed is highly humid due to the lack of ventilation system.
