For retrofit applications, where the existing indoor evaporator coil
and/or refrigerant lines will be used, the following precautions should
be taken.
•
Ensure that the indoor evaporator coil and refrigerant lines are
the correct size.
•
Ensure that the refrigerant lines are free of leaks, acid, and oil.
Important: For more information, see publication number SS-
APG006–EN
Table 12. Refrigerant Line Routing Precautions
Important: Comply with National, State, and Local Codes when isolating line sets from joists, rafters, walls, or other structural elements.
Important: For buried linesets, see publication number SS-APG006–EN.
Important: Take precautions to prevent noise within the building structure due to vibration transmission from the refrigerant lines.
For Example:
•
When the refrigerant lines must be fastened to floor joists or other framing in a structure, use isolation type hangers.
•
Isolation hangers should also be used when refrigerant lines are run in stud spaces or enclosed ceilings.
•
Where the refrigerant lines run through a wall or sill, they should be insulated and isolated.
•
Isolate the lines from all duct work.
•
Minimize the number of 90° turns.
