7.3 Limits to the length and heigth difference of refrigerant pipes
The length of the refrigerant pipes between the indoor and outdoor units must be as short as possible and is in any case limited by compliance with the maximum
height difference values between the units.
Diminution of the difference in height between the units (H1,H2) and of the pipe lengths (L) will limit the load losses, consequently increasing the overall efficiency of
the machine.
Comply with the limits given in the following tables.
