Indoor unit selection

Enter indoor unit capacity tables at given indoor and outdoor temperature.
Select the unit that the capacity is the nearest to and higher than the given load.

NOTE

1

Individual indoor unit capacity is subject to change by the combination. Actual capacity has to be calculated according to the combination by using
outdoor units capacity table.

1-2

Outdoor unit selection

Allowable combinations are indicated in indoor unit combination total capacity index table.
In general, oudoor units can be selected as follows though the location of the unit, zoning and usage of the rooms should be considered.
The indoor and outdoor unit combination is determined that the sum of indoor unit capacity index is nearest to and smaller than the capacity index at
100 % combination ratio of each outdoor unit. Up to 16 indoor units can be connected to one outdoor unit. It is recommended to choose a larger
outdoor unit if the installation space is large enough.
If the combination ratio is higher than 100 %, the indoor unit selection will have to be reviewed by using actual capacity of each indoor unit.

Actual performance data

Use outdoor unit capacity tables


Determine the correct table according to the outdoor unit model and combination ratio.
Enter the table at given indoor and outdoor temperature and find the outdoor capacity and power input. The individual indoor unit capacity (power
input) can be calculated as follows:
ICA = OCA x INX
TNX
ICA: Individual indoor unit capacity (power input)
OCA: Outdoor unit capacity (power input)
INX: Individual indoor unit capacity index
TNX: Total capacity index

Then, correct the indoor unit capacity according to the piping length.
If the corrected capacity is smaller than the load, the size of indoor unit has to be increased. Repeat the same selection procedure.

NOTES

These figures illustrate the correction ratio for piping length in capacity for a standard indoor unit system at maximum load (with the thermostat set to
maximum) under standard conditions.
Moreover, under partial load conditions, there is only a minor deviation from the capacity correction ratio, shown in the above figures.

With this outdoor unit, constant evaporating pressure control when cooling and constant condensing pressure control when heating is carried out.

Method of calculating the capacity of the outdoor units:


The maximum capacity of the system will be either the total capacity of the indoor units or the maximum capacity of the outdoor units as mentioned
below, whichever is smaller.

Condition: Indoor connection ratio does not exceed 100%


Maximum capacity of outdoor units = capacity of outdoor units from capacity table at 100% connection ratio
x correction ratio of piping to farest indoor
Condition: Indoor connection ratio exceeds 100%
Maximum capacity of outdoor units = capacity of outdoor from capacity table at installed connection ratio
x correction ratio of piping to farest indoor

When the overall equivalent pipe length is 90m or more, main gas and liquid pipe diameters must be increased..

NOTES

These figures illustrate the correction ratio for piping length in capacity for a standard indoor unit system at maximum load (with the thermostat set to
maximum) under standard conditions.
Moreover, under partial load conditions, there is only a minor deviation from the capacity correction ratio, shown in the above figures.

With this outdoor unit, constant evaporating pressure control when cooling and constant condensing pressure control when heating is carried out.

Method of calculating the capacity of the outdoor units:


The maximum capacity of the system will be either the total capacity of the indoor units or the maximum capacity of the outdoor units as mentioned
below, whichever is smaller.

Condition: Indoor connection ratio does not exceed 100%


Maximum capacity of outdoor units = capacity of outdoor units from capacity table at 100% connection ratio
x correction ratio of piping to farest indoor
Condition: Indoor connection ratio exceeds 100%
Maximum capacity of outdoor units = capacity of outdoor from capacity table at installed connection ratio
x correction ratio of piping to farest indoor

When the overall equivalent pipe length is 90m or more, main gas and liquid pipe diameters must be increased..

2. With this outdoor unit, evaporating pressure constant control when cooling, and condensing pressure constant control when heating is carried out.
3. Method of calculating A/C (cooling/heating) capacity:
The maximum A/C capacity of the system will be either the total A/C capacity of the indoor units obtained from capacity characteristic table or the maximum A/C capacity of
outdoor units as mentioned bellow, whichever smaller.
Calculating A/C capacity of outdoor units
Condition: Indoor unit combination ratio does not exceed 100%.
Maximum A/C capacity of outdoor units = A/C capacity of outdoor units obtained from capacity characteristic table at the 100% combination
X Capacity change rate due to piping length to the farthest indoor unit
Condition: Indoor unit combination ratio exceeds 100%.
Maximum A/C capacity of outdoor units = A/C capacity of outdoor units obtained from capacity characteristic table at the combination
X Capacity change rate due to piping length to the farthest indoor unit
4. When overall equivalent pipe length is 90m or more, the diameter of the main gas pipes (outdoor unit-branch sections) must be increased.
When level difference is 50m or more, the diameter of the main liquid pipe (outdoor unit-branch sections) must be increased.

Integrated heating capacity coefficient


The tables do not take account of the reduction in capacity when frost has accumulated or while the defrosting operation is in progress.
The capacity values which take these factors into account, in other words the integrated heating capacity values, can be calculated as follows:
Formula: Integrated heating capacity = A
Value given in table of capacity characteristics = B
Integrating correction factor for frost accumulation (kW) = C
A=BxC

Please note that when there is an accumulation of snow against the outside surface of the outdoor unit heat exchanger, there will always be a
temporary reduction in capacity although this will, of course, vary in degree in accordance with a number of other factors such as the outdoor
temperature (CDB), relative humidity (RH) and the amount of frosting which occurs.

Required Conditions

Refrigerant pipe selection

1. It is necessary to increase the pipe size between the first branch kit
and the final branch kit. (Reducers must be procured on site)
However, the pipes that are same pipe size with main pipe must not
be increased.

(Refer to figure 9)
1.Outdoor unit
2.Main pipes
3.Increase only liquid pipe size
4.First refrigerant branch kit
5.BS unit
6.Indoor unit
Note 2. Allowable length after the first refrigerant branch kit to indoor units is 40m or less, however it can be extended up to 90m if all the following conditions are satisfied. (In case of Branch with REFNET joint)

Note 1.

Additional refrigerant to
