V6R VRF 50/60Hz … box continued from previous page Piping orientation during brazing Brazing should be conducted downwards or horizontally to avoid filler leakage. Figure 3-5.6: Piping orientation during brazing Piping overlap during brazing Table 3-5.3 specifies the minimum permissible piping overlap and the range of permissible gap sizes for brazed joints on piping of different diameters.
Page 101
V6R VRF 50/60Hz 5.6 Branch Joints Notes for installers Use U-shaped branch joints as specified on the Figure 3-5.8: Branch joint orientation construction drawings – do not replace U-shaped branch joints with tee joints. To avoid accumulation of oil in the outdoor units, outdoor branch joints should be installed horizontally and must not be higher than the outdoor unit refrigerant outlets.
Page 102
V6R VRF 50/60Hz 5.7 Piping Connections between Outdoor Units The piping connecting the outdoor units should be horizontal and must not be higher than the refrigerant outlets. If necessary, to avoid obstacles the piping may be vertically offset below the outlets. When inserting a vertical offset to avoid an obstacle, the whole outdoor piping should be offset, rather than just the section adjacent to the obstacle.
