Allowable pipe length and height differenceSee the table below concerning lengths and heights. Refer to figures2, 3, 4 and 5. Assume that the longest line in the figure correspondswith the actual longest pipe, and the highest unit in the figurecorresponds with the actual highest unit. For RZQG units onlyAllowable pipe length For RZQSG units onlyAllowable pipe length Existing or pre-installed piping can be used1. Piping must comply with the criteria below.• Pipe diameter must comply with the limitations as indicated inparagraph "8.2. Refrigerant pipe size" on page 7.• Piping length must be within limits of the allowable pipinglength as in paragraph "8.4. Allowable pipe length and heightdifference" on page 8.• Piping must be designed for R410A. See paragraph"8.1. Selection of piping material" on page 7.2. Piping can be reused without cleaning when:• Total 1-way piping length: <50 m.• No compressor breakdown has occurred in the history of theunit to be replaced.• A correct pump down operation can be executed:- Operate the unit continuously for 30 minutes in coolingmode.- Execute a pump down operation.- Remove the air conditioning units to be replaced.• Check the contamination inside the existing piping.If you cannot meet all these requirements, the existing pipesmust be cleaned or replaced after removing the air conditioningunits to be replaced.3. Prepare the flare connections for higher pressure. Seeparagraph "10.3.
