Piping Design - Mitsubishi Electric PWFY-P100VM-E-BU Data Book

2. Piping Design
(1) BC controller piping design
(1)-1 IF 16 ports or less are in use, I.e., if only one BC controller is in use with no sub BC controller
PURY-P-YLM-A1
Note1. No Header usable on PURY system.
Note2. Indoor unit sized P100-P250 should be connected to BC controller via Y shape joint CMY-R160-J1 ;
Note3. Indoor unit sized P100-P250 does NOT share BC controller ports with other Indoor units ;
Note4. As bents cause pressure loss on transportation of refrigerant, fewer bents design is better ;
Piping length needs to consider the actual length and equivalent length which bents are counted.
Equivalent piping length (m)=Actual piping length+"M" x Number of bent.
Note5. Set DIP-SW 4-6 to ON of BC controller, in case of connected Indoor unit sized P100-P140 with 2 ports.
Note6. It is also possible to connect Indoor unit sized P100-P140 with 1 port (set DIP-SW 4-6 to OFF).
However, the cooling capacity decreases a little (For details, refer to the chapter OUTDOOR UNITS,
R2 SERIES, 8-5. Correction by port counts of the BC controller).
Note7. Individual indoor units grouped together to connect to the BC controller via one port cannot operate
individually in heating and cooling modes at the same time. I.e., they must all function in either heating
or cooling together.
Note8. Indoor capactiy is described as its model size. For example, PEFY-P63VML-E, its capacity is P63.
Note9. Total down-stream Indoor capacity is the summary of the model size of Indoors down-stream.
For example, PEFY-P63VML-E + PEFY-P32VML-E : Total Indoor capacity = P63 + P32 = P95.
Note10. To enable the continuous heating mode, set SW4 (848) to ON.

*4. Distance of Indoor sized P200, P250 from BC must be less than 10m, if any.
*5. 90m is available depending on the model and installation conditions. For more detailed information, contact your local distributor.
*6. 60m is available depending on the model and installation conditions. For more detailed information, contact your local distributor.
