(except with pump-down). Danfoss recommend to use ETS products. EXV should be closed, and remained closed, Ramp-up and ramp-down settings, of both EXV and compressor, must be done with great care.
Application Guidelines System design recommendations Essential piping design The working pressure in systems with R410A is drops and acceptable minimum gas velocities, considerations about 60% higher than in systems with R22 or the refrigerant piping must be reduced in size R407C.
In order to prevent compressors from breaking piping (long line set, U trap…), multiple heat down due to oil level issues, Danfoss requires the exchangers and elevation changes. use of an oil separator in all long piping systems, particularly for split systems.
