If the required pipe size is not available, you can use
other diameters by considering the following factors:
▪
If the standard size is not available in local
market, a pipe that is one size larger should be
used.
▪ In some circumstances, the pipe size needs to
be one size larger than the standard size; this is
the "Size up Size" (for example: when the
equivalent length of all the liquid piping is larger
than 90m, the pipe size needs to be one size up;
when the piping length from the farthest indoor
unit to the first indoor unit is more than 40m, the
indoor main pipe size needs to be one size up to
allow a piping length of up to 120m). If the "Size
up Size" is not available in the local market, the
standard size pipe must be used.
▪
Pipe sizes bigger than the corresponding "Size up
Size" cannot be used under any circumstances.
▪ Calculation for the additional refrigerant must be
adjusted according to section 5.9 on the
determination of the additional refrigerant volume.

CAUTION
If the indoor unit capacity exceeds the range
in the table above, select the pipe diameter
according to the manual of the indoor unit.
The size of the indoor branch pipe shall not
be larger than that of the main pipe. If the size
of the main pipe selected according to the
above table is larger than that of the main
pipe, the size of the branch pipe shall be
reduced to make it the same as that of the
main pipe.
5) An example of refrigerant piping selection
The example below illustrates the piping selection
procedure for a system consisting of two outdoor
units (900+560)
and
11
system's
equivalent length of all liquid pipes is less
than 90m; the piping between the farthest indoor
unit and the first indoor branch joint is less than 40m
in length, and each indoor auxiliary pipe (from each
indoor unit to its nearest branch joint) is less than 10m
in length.
