3. REFNET Pipe System


3.1 Layout Example
3.1.1 Heat Pump System
Use of the particular branch fitting appropriate to each individual unit type not only permits the pipes to be laid
with ease but also increases the reliability of the system as a whole.
Type of
fitting Sample systems
(Pipes containing REFNET joints only)
Line branch fitting
(Piping consists of REFNET headers only)
Header branch fitting
(Piping including both headers
Mixed branch fittings

and joints)

Units can be added by connecting them directly to the REFNET header or REFNET joint. Further REFNET joints
cannot be included in the system downsteam of a REFNET header.
Notes
1. When the capacity ratio of the indoor system to the outdoor unit is more than 100% and when all the indoor units are
in operation at the same time, then the rated capacity of each unit is somewhat reduced.
2. Special purpose REFNET pipe components must be used for all the pipe work. For further details concerning types
of components see Section 6.3 Example of Connection.

Use of the particular branch fitting appropriate to each individual unit type not only permits the pipes to be laid
with ease but also increases the reliability of the system as a whole.
Type of
fitting Sample systems
Distribution by REFNET joints
Distribution by REFNET header
Combination of REFNET joints
and headers

Units can be added by connecting them directly to the REFNET header or REFNET joint. Further branches cannot be
included in the system below the REFNET header branch.

Notes
1. When the capacity ratio of the indoor system to the outdoor unit is more than 100% and when all the indoor units are
in operation at the same time, the rated capacity of each unit is somewhat reduced.
2. Special purpose REFNET pipe components must be used for all the pipe work. For further details concerning choice
and type of components refer to Section 6.3 Example of Connection.

3.2 Field Refrigerant Piping


3.2.1 Heat Pump Series
1. The following materials should be used for all refrigerant piping:
Materials: Deoxidized phosphorous seamless copper pipe or equivalent
2. The tips for insulation
Both Gas and liquid piping must be insulated.
Materials: Glass fiber or heat resistant polyethylene foam
Thickness: 1/2 inch or more
Heat resistance: Gas pipe : 250F or more / Liquid pipe : 160F or more
Insulation of single pipe only Insulation of both liquid and gas pipe

3.2.2 Heat Recovery Series


Suction, discharge gas piping, and liquid piping must be insulated.
Example of thermal insulation work:
3 piping section (between outdoor unit and BS unit) 2 piping section (between BS unit and indoor unit)

3.3 REFNET Joints and Headers


3.3.1 REFNET Joints
For gas and liquid branch pipes:

Make sure that all branch pipes are fitted so that they branch either horizontally or vertically.

When the size of the selected field piping is different from that of the branch pipe, the connecting section should be
cut with a pipe cutter as shown in the figure below.

When cutting an inlet or outlet pipe with a pipe cutter, make sure that you make the cut in the center of the
connection area.

You must insulate branch pipes in accordance with the instructions in the accompanying handbook.

3.3.2 REFNET Header

Installation of Outdoor Units 7


REFNET Pipe System EDUS39-605

Fit cap pipes to the surplus branches if the number of indoor units to be connected is less than the number of branch
pipes available.

When the size of the selected field piping is different from that of branch pipe cut the connecting section with a pipe
cutter as shown in the following figure:

When field piping is connected to the B section of the inlet/outlet pipe on the outdoor unit side of the liquid pipe
header,cut the B section with a pipe cutter and connect it to the A section.

Connect the flared section of the field pipe to the B section as shown in the following figure:

Fit the branch pipe so that the branch lies in a horizontal plane.

The branch pipe must be insulated in accordance with the instruction manual provided with each kit.
1. Use the insulator included in the kit to insulate the header.

2. Use tape included in the kit to seal supplied insulator joints along with those already applied to the field piping.

3. Any cap pipes must also be insulated and taped as described above.

DANGER

Use of oxygen can cause an explosion resulting in severe


injury or death. Only use nitrogen gas.
Refrigerant gas may produce toxic gas if it comes in con-
tact with fire such as from a fan, heater, stove or cooking
device. Exposure to this gas can cause severe injury or
death.
The pressure regulator for the nitrogen released when
doing the brazing should be set to 2.9 psi or less.

tities of oxidized film on the inside of the pipes, adversely
affecting valves and compressors in the refrigerating
system and preventing normal operation.
Do not use a flux when brazing the refrigerant pipe
joints.
Use phosphor copper brazing (B-Cu93P-710/795: ISO
3677) which does not require flux.
Flux has an extremely negative effect on refrigerant pip-
ing systems. For instance, if chlorine based flux is used,
it will cause pipe corrosion. If the flux contains fluorine, it
will damage the refrigerant oil.

DANGER

Use of oxygen could cause an explosion resulting in se-


vere injury or death. Only use nitrogen gas.
Refrigerant gas may produce toxic gas if it comes in con-
tact with fire such as from a fan heater, stove or cooking
device. Exposure to this gas could cause severe injury or
death.

The pressure regulator for the nitrogen released when


doing the brazing should be set to 2.9 psi or less.
Refer to figure 9.

Great caution is needed when passing copper tubes

Precautions when selecting branch piping.
If the piping between the outdoor unit and the first refriger-
ant branching kit is 295 ft. or longer, be sure to enlarge the
main pipe in the liquid-side piping.
Do not enlarge the main pipe in the discharge-side and
suction-side piping.
Depending on the length of the refrigerant piping, the
power may drop but you still may enlarge the main pipe.

ing to serious injury or death.

CHECKING FOR REFRIGERANT LEAKS IS MANDATORY


The installer must be properly trained in safety requirements
and procedures for handling and working with R-410A. The
installer must prevent leakage according to local regulations
or standards.

The VRV System uses R-410A as refrigerant. R-410A itself is


an entirely safe, non-toxic, non-combustible refrigerant
Compliance with local regulations and standards must be fol-
lowed in order to ensure that the maximum concentration level
of refrigerant gas is not exceeded, and care must be taken to
ensure that equipment is installed in a large enough room.
Maximum concentration level
The maximum concentration and charge of refrigerant is
directly related to the occupied space in which it could leak.
The unit of measurement of the concentration is lb./ft3 and the
weight in lbs of the refrigerant gas is 1ft3 volume of the occu-
pied space.

If the result of the above calculation exceeds the maximum

of the maximum concentration.
The refrigerant maximum concentration level must not be
exceeded.
when installation results in an excess of the maximum
concentration level it is necessary to reconfigure the sys-
