4. Refrigerant Piping
Indoor unit connection example
•
Connect one R-Converter unit per indoor unit.
•
Connect the R-Converter unit to the liquid pipe.
•
The thermistor-L (liquid) is installed close to the connecting point of
the extension piping (liquid) for the indoor unit.
•
The thermistor-G (gas) is installed close to the connecting point of
the extension piping (gas) for the indoor unit.

If using a liquid pipe that is ø9.52 mm, use joint pipe "PAC-493PI" (op-
tional parts)or a locally procured tandem joint (ø6.35 →ø9.52 mm).
Additional refrigerant quantity
•
If necessary, add additional refrigerant to the unit by following the
calculation method given in the outdoor unit (PUMY) manual.
•
When calculating the refrigerant quantity, be sure to include the R-
Converter unit-to-indoor unit liquid pipe length.

The installation condition for the R-Converter unit - to - indoor unit
are as shown in the illustration below.
•
The refrigerant pipe length from the indoor unit to the R-Con-
verter unit must be less than 10 m and its height difference less
than 8 m.
•
Install the R-Converter unit within an indoor-unit-to-indoor-unit height
difference of 12 m.
•
Match the refrigerant piping size to the indoor unit.
