  2. 528% of selected outdoor unit’s maximum standard air volume is available ONLY when 6 same capacity outdoor units are connected.

Note

  • When multiple outdoor units are connected, basically select one interlaced heat exchanger which has multiple refrigerant circuit or multiple heat exchanger placed in parallel to the air flow. If multiple heat exchangers placed in series with the air flow have to be used, maximum 2 heat exchanger in series are acceptable.

Minimum air volume
Total amount of selected outdoor unit’s minimum standard air volume is allowable.

Indoor heat exchanger

  1. Indoor heat exchanger volume
    Make sure to keep the HEX capacity within the following range.
    If the piping length is 30m or shorter, HEX capacity can be increased as follows.Model capacity of outdoor unit| ZRP| 35| 50| 60| 71| 100| 125| 140| 200| 250

Note: Calculate them by linear interpolation in case of other piping lengths not shown on this table.

  1. Diameter of header
    With a bigger size header, the refrigerant flow velocity decreases and this disturbs the sufficient circulation of refrigerant oil. As a result, the refrigerant oil does not flow properly and could cause a serious damage of compressor.
    Use the pipe whose outside diameter is less than the value shown in the table below.Model capacity of outdoor unit| ZRP| 35| 50| 60| 71| 100| 125| 140| 200| 250

Thermistor position

  • < Target temp. thermistor (Locally supplied) >

    Put thermistor where average supply or return air temperature for heat exchanger can be detected. Put thermistor where it does NOT pick up the temperature of heat exchanger.

  • < Liquid refrigerant pipe thermistor (TH2) >
    Put thermistor where liquid refrigerant pipe temperature can be detected. Protect the thermistor with heat insulating materials not to be affected by the ambient temperature, etc. In case that the refrigerant is distributed by distributor, put thermistor before the distributor.

  • < 2-Phase temp. thermistor (TH5) >
    Put thermistor where 2-Phase temperature can be detected on the indoor HEX pipe. It should be located in the middle of inlet and outlet ports. If there are some paths, locate it on the top of them. Protect the thermistor with heat insulating materials not to be affected by the ambient temperature, etc.

  • < Target temp. thermistor (TH1) >

    Put thermistor where average supply or return air temperature for heat exchanger can be detected.
    Put thermistor where it does NOT pick up the temperature of heat exchanger.

  • < HEX inlet temp. thermistor (TH11) >
    Put thermistor where average air temperature of heat exchanger inlet can be detected.
    Put thermistor where it does NOT pick up the temperature of heat exchanger.

Restriction on input signals to the interface unit
Follow the “Note” in section 3.1 and 3.2.
