REFRIGERANT PIPING DESIGN
Design Guideline Summary
Device Connection Limitations
Single-zone systems consist of one outdoor unit and one indoor unit. One of the
most critical elements of a single zone system is the refrigerant piping. The table
below lists pipe length limits that must be followed in the design of a Single Zone
Extended Piping Wall Mounted refrigerant pipe system. Refer to the figure for
maximum length and elevation of piping.
Capacity is based on standard length.
Equivalent Pipe Length = Actual Pipe Length + Number of Bends x 0.3.
Additional Refrigerant Charge Calculation : X (g) = [ (Refrigerant Pipe Length) - (No Charge Pipe Length) ] × (Additional Refrigerant).
