Refrigerant Piping Work
Cautions on piping handling
Protect the open end of the pipe from dust and moisture.
All pipe bends should be as gentle as possible. Use a pipe bender for
bending.
Insulation material: Polyethylene foam
Heat transfer rate: 0.041 to 0.052W/mK (0.024 to 0.030Btu/fth°F (0.035 to
0.045kcal/mh°C))
ACR Copper pipe only.
Be sure to insulate both the gas and liquid piping and observe the insulation dimensions as below.
O.D. 3/8 inch
Gas side
O.D. 1/2 inch
O.D. 1/4 inch
Liquid side
Use separate thermal insulation pipes for gas and liquid refrigerant pipes.
Make absolutely sure to execute thermal insulation works on the pipe-connecting section, after checking for gas leakage,
