DC Inverter Multi VRF System 2 Product Introduction Gree Multi VRF System adopts inverter compressor technology. By changing the displacement of compressor, stepless capacity regulation within range of 10%~100% can be realized. Various product lineups are provided with capacity range from 7kW to 8kW, which can be widely used in residential, commercial and working area and especially applicable to places with big load change.

DC Inverter Multi VRF System 4.3.2 Flaring Process Use pipe cutter to cut the connection pipe in case it is unshaped. Keep the pipe downward in case cutting scraps get into the pipe. Clear away the burrs after cutting. Remove the flared nut connecting indoor connection pipe and outdoor unit. Then use flaring tool to fix the flared nut into the pipe (as shown in Fig.10).
Page 14
During engineering installation, the connection pipe inside the unit must be wrapped by insulation sleeve. Below is the piping diagram of GMV-24WL/C-T(U), GMV-28WL/C-T(U). According to customer requirement or space limit, outlet pipe can be installed from the front, right or rear side.

DC Inverter Multi VRF System proper dimension and remove burrs as well. See Fig.17. Y-type branch must be installed vertically or horizontally. Fig. 17 Branch shall be isolated by insulating material that can bear 120°C(248°F) or even higher temperature. The attached foam of branch cannot be taken as insulating material. 4.3.7 Thermal Insulation for Pipeline For multi VRF system, every copper pipe should be labeled so as to avoid misconnection.
