1. Based on R-410A at the nominal capacity of the unit or system, an ambient temperature of 95°F (35°C) and a suction temperature of 45°F
(7.2°C).
2. Suction line sizes were calculated based on a nominal maximum pressure drop to 3 PSI/100 ft. (20.7 kPa/30.5 m). When calculating suction line
pressure drop for a specific application, it should be noted that system capacity decreases as suction line pressure drop increases.
4. Nominal Tons (KW) Unloaded is based on one compressor (per system) operating at design conditions.
5. Based on minimum compressor staging for the given pipe size, a double suction riser should be used to ensure proper oil return to the compres-
sor on all vertical suction risers. Oil returning up the riser moves up the inner surface of the pipe and depends on the mass velocity of the
refrigerant vapor at the wall surface to move the oil up the vertical rise.
6. Hot gas bypass lines are typically 7/8" for lines up to 40 feet and 1-1/8" for lines over 40 feet in length (12 meters). The field connections sizes
are 7/8" for the optional factory mounted hot gas bypass valve. Note: Hot gas bypass is only available for refrigerant system number 1.
