11.1. Insulation

To avoid dew drops, provide suf cient anti-sweating insulation to
the refrigerant and drain pipes. When using commercially available
refrigerant pipes, be sure to cover with available insulating material
with heat-resistant temperature of more than 100 °C [212 °F] and
thickness given below, on both liquid and gas pipes. Insulate all
indoor pipes with polyethylene insulation with a minimum density of
0.03 and a thickness as speci ed in the table below.
