Refrigerant Piping System - LG ARUN040GSS5 Installation Manual

PIPE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR UNIT
32

Refrigerant piping system

Y branch method
Example : 5 Indoor Units connected
Ⓐ : Outdoor Unit
Ⓑ : 1st branch (Y branch)
Ⓒ : Indoor Units
Total pipe length = A+B+C+D+a+b+c+d+e ≤ 300 m
Longest pipe length
L
A+B+C+D+e ≤ 150 m
Longest pipe length after 1st branch
B+C+D+e ≤ 40 m
Difference in height (Outdoor Unit ÷ Indoor Unit)
H
H ≤ 50 m (40 m : Outdoor Unit is lower than Indoor Units)
Difference in height (Indoor Unit ÷ Indoor Unit)
h
h ≤ 15 m
• * : Assume equivalent pipe length of Y branch to be 0.5 m, that of header to be 1 m,
calculation purpose
L 150 m
l 40 m
Equivalent pipe length(*)
A+B+C+D+e ≤ 175 m
