CAUTION
For proper operation, adhere to all “piping limitations”.
z
Allowable height di󰀨erence:
If the height di󰀨erence between the indoor unit and outdoor unit is larger than the allowable value:
¾
The pressure loss will be larger → Insu󰀩cient cooling and heating
¾
The refrigerant in liquid pipe will ush → Refrigerant ow noise generate at indoor unit
¾
The refrigerant oil will not return → Insu󰀩cient refrigerant oil resulting in compressor damage
If the height di󰀨erence between indoor unit, between RB unit, or between RB unit and indoor unit
is larger than the allowable value:
¾
The refrigerant ow balance will be poor → Insu󰀩cient cooling and heating (poor balance)
¾
Refrigerant oil will collect in the piping or non-operating indoor units
→ Insu󰀩cient refrigerant oil resulting in compressor damage
z
Pipe length:
If the pipe length is longer than prescribed:
¾
The pressure loss will be larger → Insu󰀩cient cooling and heating
¾
Too much refrigerant will be charged → Liquid backs up resulting in compressor damage
¾
The refrigerant oil will not return → Insu󰀩cient refrigerant oil resulting in compressor damage
z
Pipe size:
If the pipe size is larger than designated size:
¾
The refrigerant ow velocity will drop. Refrigerant oil will not return to the outdoor unit.
→ Insu󰀩cient refrigerant oil resulting in compressor damage
¾
The refrigerant in liquid pipe will ush easily → Insu󰀩cient cooling and heating
If the pipe size is smaller than designated size:
¾
The refrigerant circulation volume will drop → Insu󰀩cient cooling and heating
¾
The pressure loss will be larger → Insu󰀩cient cooling and heating
z
Indoor unit connected capacity:
If the indoor unit connected capacity is larger than the system capable capacity:
¾
Insu󰀩cient system performance → Insu󰀩cient cooling and heating
¾
When heating, refrigerant will collect in non-operating indoor units resulting in an insu󰀩cient
refrigerant circulation volume → Insu󰀩cient cooling and heating
¾
The refrigerant oil will not return → Compressor damage
If the indoor unit connected capacity is too small compared to the system capacity:
¾
The liquid return will be too great → Compressor damage
¾
The refrigerant will concentrate in the outdoor unit
→ Continuous operation will become di󰀩cult due to the outdoor unit stopping due to high
head pressure. Also, excessive noise will be generated by the refrigerant ow when in heating
mode.
