BRANCH JOINT INSTALLATION MANUAL

Selection of refrigerant piping size and use of Branch Joint

1 Prepare the pipe to be connected in the field. 2 Determine the piping sizes of each part from table 3, 4, 5. 3 Determine the branch joint from table 1. 4 When pipe is cut with a pipe cutter or the like remove burr, dust and foreign materials inside the pipe and connect the pipe. 5 Always weld while flowing nitrogen, otherwise, the product may not operate due to sludge within the pipe.

Insulation of Branch Joint

Fig. 2 Example
Tape (field spply) Insulation material (field spply) Liquid pipe

Fig. 3 Example
Pipe cover Insulation material (field spply)

Mount Liquid pipe 1 to pipe cover 2 in matching. Seal the joing section of pipe cover with inslated sealing tape(field supply). (Refer to Fig. 2) Apply the same procedures to the gas pipe also.
Lapped space of taping Tape (field spply)

Note 1. Apply insulation to all refrigerant piping (field supply). When using the insulation materials being marketed, employ heat resistant insulation material (heat resistant temperature: 120C or more) Note 2. As the pipe cover contracts slightly conduct taping in the field securely by providing lapped parts as shown in so that no gap will exit on the piping cover and field supply insulation material.
