6. HOW TO PROCESS TUBING (Only for PACKAGE Outdoor Units)

Tubing Length
Multi type (Twin, Triple, Quartet)
Installation Example 1
LB

Select and decide the installation location so that the length of the
refrigerant tubing will be within the limits given in Table.

Allowable tubing length
Allowable elevation
difference
Allowable lenght of
header tube
* If total tubing length including length of each distribution branch becomes 30 to 70 m, additional refrigerant charge is required.
See table below.
CAUTION
In case of multi type installation, indoor units should be installed in the same room. If indoor units are installed in different rooms,
temperature control may develop problems because the system operation follows the thermostat condition of one indoor unit
(main unit).
