REFRIGERATION PIPING
General
The OSA 160 is shipped with a refrigerant
charge sufficient for a 10 m line length.
The matched indoor unit is shipped with a
holding charge of nitrogen. OSA 160 units
have one flare and one rotolock assembly.
Two loose pipe extensions are supplied to
enable a choice of exit – side or rear; both
require brazing.
Recommended Pipe Sizes
Suction pipe :
22 mm OD
Liquid pipe :
13 mm OD
Line Lengths
Maximum extended line length is 50 m.
Refer also to Oil Charge overleaf.
Height Separation Limits
Outdoor Unit above Indoor Unit : 18 m
Outdoor Unit below Indoor Unit : 18 m
Vertical Risers
If the outdoor unit is to be installed above
the indoor unit, then the suction riser should
be trapped at the bottom of the vertical
rise and then again at 8 m (maximum)
intervals. This is to ensure oil return to the
compressor. The trap to be a 'swan neck'
curve in the pipe, with no change in the pipe
size.
Piping
1. Use clean sealed refrigeration grade
piping and accessories designed
specifically for R410A.
2. Cut pipe with a pipe cutter ONLY.
3. Use long radius bends (2x pipe dia.).
4. Insulate the suction (gas) line and seal
all insulation joints.
5. Bi-flow type filter dryer may be fitted in
the liquid line.
6. Include a process point in the
interconnecting pipework.
7. Ensure open pipe ends are sealed until
the final connection is made.
8. Caution: To avoid damage to teflon
seals, braze suction pipework to stub
connection (supplied loose) before
connecting to unit's valve.
9. Remove valve's dust cap and lubricate
teflon seal with refrigeration oil prior to
final assembly and connection.
Charging
The unit is supplied with 3.6 kg of refrigerant
HFC-410A (R410A) which is sufficient for up
to 10 m of pipework between the indoor and
outdoor units. Add 60 g of HFC-410A per
metre above 10 m.
