Thermal Insulation Of Refrigerant Piping - LG ARWN Serie Manual De Instalación

Thermal insulation of refrigerant piping

Be sure to give insulation work to refrigerant piping by covering liquid pipe and gas pipe separately with
enough thickness heat-resistant polyethylene, so that no gap is observed in the joint between indoor unit
and insulating material, and insulating materials themselves. When insulation work is insufficient, there is a
possibility of condensation drip, etc. Pay special attention to insulation work to ceiling plenum.

When filling a gap with mortar, cover the
penetration part with steel plate so that
