Coil Piping and Connections
Refrigerant Coil Piping
Note: Refer to “Important Environmental Concerns!” on page 2 for information on handling
refrigerants.
Use Figure 58 to determine the proper, relative sequence of the components in the refrigerant lines
that connect the condensing unit to an evaporator coil. Refer to “Examples of Field-Installed
Evaporator Piping” on page 63 for more detailed schematics of evaporator piping.
Liquid Lines
Line Sizing. Properly sizing the liquid line is critical to a successful split-system application. The
selected tube diameter must provide at least 5°F [2.7°C] of subcooling at the expansion valve
throughout the operating envelope. Increasing the size of the liquid line will not increase the
available subcooling.
Routing. Install the liquid line with a slight slope in the direction of flow so that it can be routed with
the suction line. Minimize tube bends and reducers because these items tend to increase pressure
drop and to reduce subcooling at the expansion valve. Liquid line receivers, other than those that
are factory-installed, are not recommended.
