SiBE31-801_C Example of Connection (R-410A Type)Appendix 406How to calculate the additional refrigerant tobe chargedAdditional refrigerant to be charged : R(kg)(R should be rounded off in units of 0.1 kg.)Example for refrigerant branch using REFNET joint and REFNET header for the systems and each pipe length as shown below.System : RTSYQ20PY1Independent outdoor unit : RTSQ8PY1, RTSQ12PY1Function unit : BTSQ20PY1Note 1.When the equivalent pipe length between outdoor(*2) and indoor units is 90m or more, the size ofmain pipes (figure on right) must be increasedaccording to the right table.(*) If available on the site, use this size.Otherwise, it can not be increased.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.Required Conditions Example Drawings (In case of “Branch with REFNET joint”)1.It is necessary to increase the pipe size if the pipe length between thefirst branch kit and the final branch kit is over 40m. (Reducers must beprocured on site)If the increased pipe size is larger than main pipe size, then increasethe main pipe size to the same pipe size.8 c + d + e + f + g + h + q ≤ 90 mincrease the pipe size of c, d, e, f, g, hIncrease the pipe size as followsφ9.5 → φ12.7 φ15.9 → φ19.1 φ22.2 → φ25.4* φ34.9 → φ38.1*φ12.7 → φ15.9 φ19.1 → φ22.2 φ28.6 → φ31.8*2.For calculation of Total extension length, the actual length of abovepipes must be doubled.
