IntroductionSplit type air-conditioner units consist of an evaporator unit and condensing unit which are both joined togetherby two lengths of copper piping. Generally, one of them will be in the indoor room while the other will be locatedoutdoors.

The performance specifications of the air-conditioner unit have been given based upon a specified pipe length.Deviations from this standard length will cause variations to the unit performance. There is also a maximumpipe length allowed for these units, whereby if exceeded, the unit may not give reliable performance. Mostmanufacturers will publish these longest distances in both the vertical and horizontal directions where theirevaporator and condenser can be installed apart. Most of the time, installers are not aware of these limitations.As a result, they encounter problems when the units are not performing as specified.

It is important that during installation, these pipe length limits are not exceeded. It is recommended that thepipe lengths be as close to the standard lengths as possible. The relative location of both evaporator andcondensing units are also very crucial to ensure an effective and reliable system.

However, this will not be so easily achievable in practice. The building architectural and structural design maynot allow such straight forward installations. It is very common for these pipe lengths to be longer than thestandard lengths, if not exceeding them. Therefore, it is vital to understand what the failure mechanisms of theair-conditioner unit are when this happens. With this in mind, we can then take the necessary precautions toprevent damage to the units.

Section 1Long Piping Limitations

There are a few points that an installer and contractor need to consider when dealing with long piping

installations. These points are:

a) Capacity loss of the system.

b) Problem of oil return to the compressor.

c) Compressor failure.

d) High installation cost.

1.1 Ca1.1 Ca1.1 Ca1.1 Ca1.1 Capacity Losspacity Losspacity Losspacity Losspacity LossCapacity loss is due to pressure loss which is caused by friction in pipe and elevation. Consider the Darcy-

Weisbach equation:

∆∆∆∆∆p = f (L/D) (ρρρρρV2/2) ............ (1.1)where,

∆p = Pressure drop, Pa.

f = Friction factor, dimensionless.

L = Length of pipe, m.

D = Internal diameter of pipe, m.

ρ = Fluid density at mean temperature, kg/m3.

V = Average velocity, m/s.

Therefore:

∆∆∆∆∆p ∝∝∝∝∝ L and V2

∆∆∆∆∆p ∝∝∝∝∝ 1/D

This equation can also be expressed in the form of specific energy:

∆∆∆∆∆h = ∆∆∆∆∆p/ρρρρρg = f (L/D) (V2/2g) ............ (1.2)where,

∆h = Energy loss, m.

g = Gravity acceleration, m/s2.

And:

∆∆∆∆∆h ∝∝∝∝∝ L and V2

∆∆∆∆∆h ∝∝∝∝∝ 1/D

The remaining terms are the same as mentioned in equation (1.1).

By considering equation (1.1), it is known that L is directly proportional to ∆∆∆∆∆p. When L increases (with otherterms remaining constant); ∆∆∆∆∆p will increase proportionally as well. In other words, when the piping lengthincreases, the pressure drop encountered will be increasing proportionally as well.Again, considering equation (1.1), it is known that D is indirectly proportional to ∆∆∆∆∆p.When D decreases (other terms remaining constant), ∆∆∆∆∆p will also increase proportionally as well. Therefore,when the piping diameter decreases, the pressure drop encountered will be increasing proportionally as well.

The pressure drop and capacity drop are directly related to each other. If the pressure drop decreases,the capacity drop will be also do the same. If the piping length is long, the flow will encounter a higher pressuredrop. Therefore, the capacity for longer piping will decrease as well. Same for decreasing pipe diameter,the pressure drop will be large and hence, the capacity will drop as well.

Why will the pressure drop cause a reduction in capacity? Basically, there are three reasons:a) Suction line pressure drop due to friction loss will force the compressor to operate at a lower suction pressure with a resultant reduction of refrigerant mass flow.

b) Pressure drop due to friction loss in discharge lines causes the compressor to operate at a higher pressure resulting in reduced refrigerant mass flow and increased power consumption.

c) Liquid line pressure drop due to friction loss and liquid static head may cause flash gas. This flash gas will reduce the performance of the expansion device as the liquid column cannot be maintained.

The functions of oil in refrigeration systems are:a) Minimize mechanical wearb) Reduce frictionc) Lubricate moving partsd) Seal clearancese) Deaden noise, andf) Assist to transfer heat.

In the compressor, oil and refrigerant will mix continuously. Refrigeration oils are soluble in liquid refrigerantand mix completely at normal room temperatures. Since oil must pass through the compressor cylinders toprovide lubrication, a small amount of oil is always in circulation with the refrigerant. Oil and refrigerant vapourdo not mix readily and the oil can be properly circulated through the system if gas velocities are high enoughto sweep the oil along.

If refrigerant velocities are not sufficiently high, oil will tend to lie at the bottom of the evaporatortubing which, decreases heat transfer efficiency and possibly causing a shortage of oil in thecompressor. The problem arises when the piping is longer than the standard testing length of 7.6m. More oilwill tend to be trapped along the longer piping and only a lesser amount will be returned to the compressor.This damages the compressor internal moving parts due to lack of lubrication.

As evaporative temperatures are lowered, this problem becomes more critical since the viscosity of the oilincreases with a decrease in temperature. Since the longer piping will cause a lower evaporating pressuredue to the higher pressure drop, the oil becomes more viscous and more difficult to be swept along with therefrigerant. For these reasons, a proper design of tubing is essential for satisfactory oil return in a refrigerationcycle.

One of the basic characteristics of a refrigerant and oil mixture in a sealed system is the fact that refrigerantwill migrate through the system into the oil in the compressor. On reaching the compressor, the refrigerant is‘absorbed’ into the oil and this migration will continue until the oil is saturated with liquid refrigerant. Theamount of refrigerant the oil will attract is primarily dependent on the temperature differential between the oiland refrigerant.

When the pressure of a saturated mixture of refrigerant and oil is suddenly reduced, as happens in a compressoron start up, the amount of liquid refrigerant required to saturate the oil is drastically reduced, and the remainderof liquid refrigerant flashes into vapour, causing violent boiling of the refrigerant and oil mixture. This causesthe typical foaming often observed in the compressor on start up, which can move all of the oil out of thecompressor in less than a minute.

With longer piping run, more refrigerant charge is required, thus causing more refrigerant to migrate into theoil. Foaming will be prolonged during start-up causing higher probability of the compressor failure.

The introduction of excessive liquid refrigerant into the compressor can also cause a loss of oil pressure or oildelivery to the bearings even though the level of the refrigerant and oil mixture in the compressor is high. Thehigh percentage of liquid refrigerant entering the compressor not only reduces the lubricating quality of theoil but on entering the oil pump the intake may flash into vapour, restricting the entrance of adequate oil tomaintain proper lubrication of the compressor bearings. Should this oil dilution effect continue, compressorfailure will occur.

With longer piping installations, the chances for compressor failure to occur becomes higher. The following arethe common causes of mechanical failure due to long piping applications:

a) Refrigerant flood back.

In long piping application, the system will need to have a higher refrigerant charge level in order to obtainreasonable capacity. Therefore, the system will accumulate more liquid refrigerant. Refrigerant flood backoccurs when liquid refrigerant flows through the suction line into the compressor during the running cycle.The liquid refrigerant will wash away the oil off the bearing surface and result in excessive wear.

b) Flooded start.

Liquid migration happens when the compressor is off for long periods. Refrigerant migrates to the compressorand mixes with oil. During start-ups, refrigerant foaming will wash the oil away from the bearings. Withlonger pipe length, more refrigerant gets to migrate into the oil and the foaming becomes more violentduring start-ups. The moving parts get ‘starved’ of lubrication during this period of time, and this will causefailure.

c) Slugging.

Slugging is the result of significant quantity of liquid refrigerant entering into the cylinder of the compressor.The hydraulic force from liquid refrigerant, oil or a mixture of both will damage the compressor cylinder. Inshort, slugging results from severe flooded starts where some of the foam gets sucked into the compressionchamber, resulting in liquid compression. The risk of slugging is higher with long piping installationsbecause of the higher refrigerant charge required by the system.

d) Loss of oil.

With long piping applications, there is a higher risk of the compressor oil flowing through the system andbeing trapped within the system (evaporator, condenser, piping, accumulator and other components) andreturning only a little oil to the compressor. Lack of lubrication will lead to:

i. Oil not reaching the bearings.ii. Oil dilution.iii. Oil thinning by overheating.

A symptom of this problem is the compressor gets overheated due to the friction in moving parts.

Consider the equation below:

Q = AV ............ (1.3)

where,Q = Flow rate, m3/s.A = Cross-sectional area of pipe (based on Inside Diameter), m2.V = Average velocity, m/s.

When a smaller diameter pipe is used, high velocity is required to convey the necessary quantity of fluid. Butbased on equation (1.1), high velocity causes larger pressure drop and hence, the capacity will be reduceddrastically. It will also increase the operating cost due to the compressor having to do more work.

When larger pipes are used, a lower velocity is required to give the desired quantity of flow. Low velocity willcreate less pressure drop. However, from the stand point of initial cost, the larger pipes are more costly thanthe smaller pipes.

When applying long piping, the following should be noted by end users (which will increase the cost ofinstallation):

a) Longer pipe used.b) Bigger pipe used – to reduce the pressure drop.c) More refrigerant charge.d) More installation work.e) More potential problems encountered (flood back, slugging, oil return and etc).

The location of both indoor unit and outdoor unit are very important. Different types of orientation in differentoperating mode will have different effects on oil return, refrigerant migration, and liquid refrigerant enteringthe compressor. The following section will show what could happen if :

a) The indoor unit is below the outdoor unit, orb) The indoor unit is above the outdoor unit.

Cooling mode oil return case.

Consider when the indoor unit is below the outdoor unit. When the system is operating, the oil will have to goback upwards to the compressor against gravitational forces. The amount of oil return may be very little andwill directly harm the compressor internal moving parts. If both the ambient temperature for both indoor andoutdoor are low (e.g. 19 ° C or lower), the oil viscosity will increase and this makes the amount of oil returningback to the compressor much lesser. This is a very critical condition with the outdoor unit locatedabove the indoor unit. With long piping lengths, this phenomenon becomes more severe. See Figure 1.1.

Cooling mode cold start case

For the refrigerant migration case, the vapor refrigerant will tend to move to the compressor when it is off forlong periods. This phenomenon is explained in Section 1.1.2. Note that this condition becomes more apparentwhen there is a larger ambient temperature difference between the indoor and outdoor units. When theindoor unit is above the outdoor unit, the migration of refrigerant becomes easier as the downwardflow of refrigerant is helped by gravity. See Figure 1.2. With longer pipes, the degree of migration increasesdue to the higher refrigerant charge.

Figure 1.2 : Cold start – cooling mode

Cooling mode liquid flood back case

When the system is operating in cooling mode, any unvaporized liquid refrigerant will flow out from theevaporator unit and flood into the compressor. Generally, a compressor cannot tolerate any liquid flow into itas liquid compression will occur. This will damage the compressor moving parts. This phenomenon is morecritical when the indoor unit is higher due to the gravitational forces making the liquid easier to flow downwards.Figure 1.3 represents this case. This situation is aggravated with long piping installations due to the extrarefrigerant charge required.

Heating mode oil return case

When running under the heating mode, the connecting pipes become the refrigerant discharge lines. By havingthe indoor unit (condenser) on a higher elevation with respect to the outdoor unit, oil will be pumped upwardsby the compressor. Figure 1.4 represents this case. With long pipe installation, the oil velocity may becomelower and gets accumulated inside the indoor heat exchanger.

For the refrigerant migration case, the same phenomenon as explained in Section 1.1.2 will occur. When theindoor unit is above the outdoor unit, the migration of refrigerant takes place much easier due to gravitationaleffects. This case is more critical than the Cooling Mode (section 1.5.2) as the outdoor unit ambient temperatureis much lower, causing a higher temperature differential between the two indoor and outdoor units. Figure 1.5represents this case. The longer the pipe is, the higher will be the migration rate due to the higher refrigerantcharge.

Heating mode liquid flood back case

When the indoor unit (condenser) is higher than the outdoor unit (evaporator), and the system is runningunder the heating mode, the liquid refrigerant from the condenser is able to flow down to the outdoor unitmore easily with the help of gravitational pull. With a high refrigerant charge, there is a higher risk of havingliquid compression. Therefore, due to this type of unit orientation, and also because of the defrost cycle (seeSection 1.5.7), it is considered as a critical condition for heating cycle. The longer the pipe is the higherwill be the risks due to the higher refrigerant charge.

Defrosting cycle

The defrosting cycle occurs when the system is running under the heating mode. The purpose of this cycle isto help melt any ice build-up on the outdoor coil which has been operating as an evaporator. If the ice is notremoved, the heating performance of the system will deteriorate as the ice will act as an insulation on the coilsurface, preventing heat transfer.

To defrost, the system will momentarily switch back to the cooling mode (when the operation of the 4-wayvalve reverses the refrigerant flow) where the outdoor coil becomes the hot condenser to melt the ice. Whenthe defrost is completed, the system will then resume back to heating mode. During this defrost period, theindoor unit fan will stop. As a result, this may cause the liquid refrigerant entering the indoor coil to not be ableto evaporate fast enough. The excess liquid refrigerant will then flow to the compressor. By having the indoorin a higher elevation and with long pipe length (hence, higher refrigerant charge), this becomes more evidentas the liquid flowing down is assisted by gravity. Liquid flood back and slugging may occur. This in turn willlead to compressor failures.

See following diagrams.

In summary, compressor failure is the main consideration with long piping applications. See Appendix A formore detailed explanation on compressor failures. Piping length should be as short as possible to prevent thecompressors from breaking down. In view of the importance of unit orientation, care must be taken to keep tothe allowable maximum height difference.

Special precautions must be taken when there is no choice but to use longer pipe lengths. Understandably, theextent of these precautions must be balanced with the increased cost of installation.

The following table shows the recommended piping length limits for different condensing units:

Note* : Applicable to model with built-in accumulator for long piping application only. Please refer to distributor for further details.

Table 1.1: Pipe lengths for different condensing units

The standard pipe length, where the units are rated at is 7.6 meters (25 feet). A more thorough explanationon precautions needed with longer pipe installations are given in the next chapter. Pipe lengths longer thanthose specified in Table 1.1 is not recommended.

It is also not necessary to change the recommended pipe sizes for these units, as long as these limits are notexceeded. In general, the outdoor unit pipe size connections should always be used as the reference. Table1.2 shows the pipe sizes for different condensing units.

Each compressor has a rated oil holding capacity. It is important to check with the compressorspecifications on these oil charges as each compressor comes pre-charged with oil. This specifiedcompressor oil holding charge is sufficient for a standard piping installation of 7.6m (24.9 feet).

With longer pipe lengths, it is important to add in additional oil into the system. This is necessarybecause some of the oil will be pumped out of the compressor and stick to the internal pipe surfaces.Additional oil is needed to maintain a safe oil level in the compressor sump.

As a guideline, from the actual pipe run, for every 10ft of extra length from standard testinglength, 3 fl.oz of oil (1 fl.oz ≈≈≈≈≈ 30cm3 ≈≈≈≈≈ 0.03l) should be added into the system.

Sample calculation 01:a) Standard factory testing length = 7.6m / 24.9 ftb) Actual pipe length = 10.0m / 32.8ftc) Compressor specifications:

Oil charge = 38fl.oz.

Extra length = 32.8ft – 24.9ft = 7.9 ft

With 10ft = 3fl.oz. , the extra oil charge for the extra length of 7.9ft = 2.37fl.oz.

Therefore, an additional 2.37fl.oz of oil should be added into the compressor in this example, giving atotal charge of 38 + 2.37 = 40.37 fl. oz.

Similar to the additional oil case, each compressor has a rated refrigerant maximum holding capacity. As ageneral practice, do not exceed these limits in order to prevent the compressor from breakdown. It is importantto double check with the compressor specifications on the refrigerant charge limits.

With the longer pipe lengths, more refrigerant is needed to fill the extra volume. The refrigerant charge in thedelivered unit is sufficient for the standard pipe length of 7.6 meters.

It is also important to understand the difference between having the expansion device located in theindoor unit or the outdoor unit. If the expansion device is located at the indoor unit, the entire liquid line willbe filled with liquid refrigerant before expanding at the indoor unit. This will be considered as a singlephase flow in the liquid line. The refrigerant amount required will be significantly higher.

When the expansion device is in the outdoor unit, the refrigerant will begin to expand along the liquid line.This will be considered as a two phase flow in the liquid line. As a result, the refrigerant amount requiredis lower.

The additional amount of refrigerant required can be calculated once the density of the refrigerant alongthese pipes is known. As a guideline, this value should not be more than the maximum refrigerant charge ofthe compressor.

Sample calculation 02:a) 1st option pipe length = 40ft = 12.2mb) 2nd option pipe length = 75ft = 22.9mc) Standard pipe length = 7.6md) L type hard copper tube with OD size = ½”e) Density of refrigerant R-22, ρR22 at 40oC = 1129kg/m3 (saturated temperature of liquid at condenser outlet).f) Standard factory charge = 2.50kgg) Compressor maximum refrigerant charge = 3.60kgh) Given that total charge must not be greater than the compressor maximum charge.i) The expansion device located at the indoor unit.

From Table D.5, we look at L type hard copper tube with OD = ½”, ID = 0.430in (≈0.011m). Also fromthe R22 Thermo Physical Properties, ρR22 at 40oC = 1129kg/m3.

It is known that:Mass = Volume x Density

Hence,∆m = ∆V x ρR22 ……………… (2.1)

Where, ∆m is the additional refrigerant mass required for the additional pipe length∆V is the additional refrigerant volume due to the additional pipe length

If d is the pipe internal diameterL is the pipe length which is equal to the on site pipe length minus the standard pipe lengthThen,

∆m = 0.25 x π x d2 x L x ρR22

∆mL=12.2m = 0.49kg (for 1st option pipe length)∆mL=22.9m = 1.64kg (for 2nd option pipe length)

For 1st option case; Total charge = Extra charge + Standard factory charge = 0.49 + 2.50 = 2.99kg ! 2.99kg < 3.6kg

For 2nd option case; Total charge = Extra charge + Standard factory charge = 1.64 + 2.50 = 4.14kg ! 4.14kg > 3.6kgThus, the second option pipe length is not recommended.

Sample calculation 03:

Continuing from sample calculation 02, but this time with an outdoor expansion device. As explained earlierthis will be considered as a two phase flow in the liquid line. The refrigerant amount required would now belower. It is difficult to exactly quantify the refrigerant charge in this situation as the actual expansion processthat occurs in the expansion device is not known.

However, it is estimated that the refrigerant required is 40% less compared to the amount needed when theexpansion device is at the indoor unit.

Hence,

∆mL=12.2m = 0.49/1.4 = 0.35kg (for 1st option pipe length)

∆mL=22.9m = 1.64/1.4 = 1.17kg (for 2nd option pipe length)

For 1st option, the total charge = Extra charge + Standard factory charge

= 0.35+ 2.50

= 2.85kg ( < 3.6kg )

For 2nd option, the total charge = Extra charge + Standard factory charge

= 1.17 + 2.50

= 3.67kg ( > 3.6kg )

The second option pipe length is still not recommended in this situation.

In normal installation cases, oil traps are not required. However, when piping is long, oil traps are requiredto be installed at fixed intervals along the vertical suction pipe. This is especially so when the outdoorunit is located on a higher elevation than the indoor unit. These oil traps help to get any accumulated oilto move upwards, as shown in Figure 2.1. The design of the traps will forcibly cause the gaseous refrigerantto pass through the oil thus, carrying it upwards back to the compressor.

As a guideline, an oil trap is required at every 10 to 15ft (3 – 4.6m) intervals.

Figure 2.2 illustrates how oil traps are installed.

However, the high pressure drop across such traps may cause high capacity reduction.

A suction accumulator serves as a vessel to store any liquid refrigerant which may return back alongthe suction line to the compressor. It will protect the compressor from liquid floodback and slugging.All OYL heat pump units have a built-in suction accumulator in the outdoor unit, but not for thecooling only units.

Nevertheless, it is not recommended to have an additional suction accumulator installed in theunits as long as the maximum pipe length limits defined in Section 1.6 are not exceeded. The existingaccumulator in the unit is able to provide sufficient protection to the compressor within the specifiedpipe length limits.

A more thorough explanation and study on suction accumulator is given in Appendix B.

The oil separator has been designed to remove compressor oil along the discharge line. It is usefulto ensure sufficient oil return back to the compressor. However, it is not recommended that anadditional oil separator be installed in the units as long as the maximum pipe length limits are notexceeded.

The unit will be able to function properly within the specified limits, provided that care is taken to haveoil traps along the pipe line (see Section 2.3) and that the refrigerant velocity in the pipes are sufficientlyhigh to carry the oil back to the compressor (see Section 2.6).

Appendix C gives a more detailed study and explanation of the oil separator.

2.62.62.62.62.6 Pipe SizingPipe SizingPipe SizingPipe SizingPipe Sizing

Refrigerant pipe lines must be selected for optimum size with respect to:

a) Initial cost.b) Pressure drop.c) Oil return.

It is desirable to have line sizes as small as possible from the standpoint of low initial cost. However,the overall system performance must be evaluated and the following recognised:

a) Suction and discharge line pressure drop due to friction losses reduces compressorcapacity and increases power consumption.

b) Liquid line pressure drop due to friction loss and liquid static head may cause flash gas(Flash gas is the refrigerant gas which results from the vaporisation of liquid refrigerantto cool the remaining liquid refrigerant to a lower pressure level).

c) Suction and discharge lines must be sized for proper gas velocity to assure oil return tothe compressor.

The design considerations with long refrigerant piping installations are:

a) Assure positive and continuous return of oil to the compressor crankcase.b) Refrigerant pressure losses are inevitable with long piping. This should not be

remedied at the expense of retarding oil return to the compressor.c) Prevent liquid refrigerant from entering the compressor during running, off cycles and

start up.d) Avoid trapping of oil in the evaporator or suction line which may subsequently return to

the compressor as large slug with possible damage to the compressor.

In view of the above mentioned considerations, it is recommended that the refrigerant pipe size bemaintained as specified on the indoor and outdoor units. It is not necessary to resize the pipe aslong as the refrigerant pipe length limits are not exceeded.

Page 26: Long Piping - Acson International Long Piping... · ... Precautions on Long Piping Installations 2.1 Additional Oil ... Oil Separator C.1 Introduction ... oil can be properly circulated

2.6.1 Suction lineThe suction line should have the following characteristics:

a) A total pressure drop of not more than 2oF change in saturation temperature (which isequivalent to 3 psi for R-22 refrigerant @ 40ºF evaporating temperature). Of course, forlong piping installations, this value will be much higher.

b) Sufficient velocity (>1500fpm for vertical riser, >750 fpm for horizontal runs) for oil returnto the compressor (greater refrigerant velocities are obtained by decreasing the size ofthe suction line. However this will create a higher pressure drop).

Note: (Criteria (b) has higher priority over (a)).

c) Prevention of liquid refrigerant from draining into the compressor during “OFF” cycle.

When installing the evaporator below the compressor, using a “trap” at the bottom of the pipe riseris necessary. The purpose of the trap is to drain oil and liquid refrigerant out of the line to which theexpansion valve bulb is strapped. See following diagram:

Figure 2.3: Evaporator located below the compressor.

Figure 2.4: Evaporator located above the compressor.

The trap should be as small as possible to prevent large slugs of oil being returned to the compressor whenthe trap clears. When a suction riser is 30 feet or more in length, an oil trap should be installed every 15 feetof vertical rise. This trap aids in oil return and provides a drainage point for oil, which is en route up the riserwhen the compressor stops. When the unit starts again, the oil is returned to the compressor quickly and ina relatively small slugs. See Section 2.3.

When installing the evaporator above the compressor, using an inverted “Loop” can prevent refrigerantfrom draining into the compressor during “OFF” cycle. However, the loop will not prevent refrigerant migrationdue to temperature of the evaporator being higher than the compressor.

2.6.2 Discharge linePressure drop due to friction loss in discharge lines causes the compressor to operate in higher pressureresulting in reduced capacity and increased power consumption.

Discharge lines should have:

a) A total pressure drop of 1oF to 2oF change in saturation temperature (equivalent to 3.5 psi forR-22 refrigerant @ 120ºF condensing temperature). Long piping will give higher readings.

b) Sufficient velocity (>1500fpm) for oil return to the compressor.

Note: (Criteria (b) has higher priority over criteria (a))

c) A means to prevent refrigerant from draining back to compressor head during the “OFF”cycle.

2 - 9

Long discharge pipe lines are only encountered during the reversed cycle heating mode. The same pipe isthe suction line during the cooling mode. Therefore, the main consideration with long discharge pipe installationsis the discharge oil line trap, which is actually the same as the suction line oil traps. The same rule applies,i.e. a trap should be installed every 15 feet of vertical rise. These traps will aid in oil return and provide adrainage point for oil that is en route up the riser when the compressor stops, as well as for liquid refrigerantwhich may condense during the “OFF” cycle.

2.6.3 Liquid line

When the refrigerant is in liquid state, the oil in the liquid line is readily carried along by the refrigerant to theevaporator. There is no problem with oil return in liquid lines. Thus, the design of the liquid piping is lesscritical than that of the suction lines and the discharge lines.

The problem encountered in the liquid line is mainly one of preventing the liquid from flashing before itreaches the refrigerant control (capillary tube or thermal expansion valve).

The problem of flash gas in the liquid line is that:

a) It reduces the capacity of the refrigerant control.b) It causes erosion of the valve pin and seat.c) It often results in erratic control of the liquid refrigerant to the evaporator.

To avoid flashing of the liquid in the liquid line, sufficient liquid subcooling is required along the pipe line.

The liquid line should be designed with a maximum gas velocity of 360 fpm.

2.6.4 Refrigerant piping checking method

This section provides a general guide on how to check the refrigerant piping.

Procedure:1) Select indoor and outdoor models:

a) Capacity (Btu/hr or tons)b) Original gas and liquid line size.c) Standard factory length.

2) Obtain the following parameters:a) Horizontal pipe length. Check if pipe limits have been exceeded.b) Vertical pipe length. Check if pipe limits have been exceeded.c) Number of bends.d) List of fittings installed, e.g.: filter drier, valves, sight glass.

3) Based on the information from 1(a) and 1(b), use the pressure drop charts (Figure D.4) andvelocity charts (Figure D.3) for the following:a) Pressure drop for current pipe size and pipe size at least 2 sizes bigger than current size.b) Velocity in pipe for current pipe size and for pipe size at least 2 sizes bigger than current size.

Note: The charts are applicable only for refrigerant R-22.

4) Based on the information from 2(a) and 2(b), calculate the actual pressure loss for the pipesizes.

5) Based on the information from 2(c) and 2(d), find from Table D.1 to Table D.6 for the equivalentlengths of the fittings such as elbows and valves.

6) Check the values against the design criteria set for pressure drop and velocity in gas line. Thedesign criteria are listed as below:a) Gas line criteria:

i) Minimum horizontal line gas velocity = 750fpmii)Minimum vertical risers gas velocity = 1500fpm

2 - 10

7) Check the refrigerant velocity of the standard pipe size. Check also the refrigerant pipe pressuredrop. Determine the performance of the standard pipe size. Compare the values with thosepipes which are 2 sizes larger as reference.

8) Get factory standard length; calculate the additional oil from the actual pipe run. For every 10ft ofextra length from standard testing length, add 3 fl.oz. of oil (1 fl.oz. ≈ 30cc).

9) Refer to Table D.5. Based on the length and inner diameter of the pipe, find theamount of refrigerant to be added in.

We can thus build the following tabulation:

Table 2.1: Tabulated values for various parameters.

For this calculation example, it is necessary to perform an interpolation to obtain the equivalent length le (7/8)and le (5/8) of the bends from the available data in Table D.1 and D.2.

Formula used to obtain these values is:

li = li-1 + [(φi – φi-1) /(φi+1 – φi-1)] x (li+1 – li-1)

Where: li = Equivalent length to be determine.li-1 = 1 step smaller equivalent length .li+1 = 1 step bigger equivalent length.φi = Diameter of li.φi-1 = 1 step smaller diameter.φi+1 = 1 step bigger diameter.

Equivalent length for 90o long radius bend for 7/8", le le (7/8) = le (3/4) + [(OD7/8 – OD3/4)/(OD1 – OD3/4)] x (le (1) – le(3/4)) = 1.40 + [(7/8 – 3/4)/(1 – 3/4)] x (1.70 – 1.40) = 1.55

Equivalent length for 90o long radius bend for 5/8", le le (5/8) = le (1/2) + [(OD5/8 – OD1/2)/(OD3/4 – OD1/2)] x (le (3/4) – le(1/2)) = 1.00 + [(5/8 – 1/2)/(3/4 – 1/2)] x (1.40 – 1.00) = 1.20

With these answers, the pressure drop across the pipes can be calculated, as shown in Table 2.1.As expected, the pressure drop across the larger pipes is found to be much lower.

With this installation, the extra pipe length = 68ft – (7.6m / (0.3048m/ft))= 43.1ft

Therefore, the extra lubricant oil required = Extra length x (0.3fl.oz/ft)= 12.92fl.oz.

Refer to Table D.5 to determine the internal pipe diameter. The extra refrigerant required is calculated asfollows :

OD =3/8" case (ID = 0.305").Extra R22 = ρV = 0.25πd2Lρ = 0.25(3.142)(0.305in x (0.0254mm/in))2(68ft x (0.3048m/ft) – 7.6m)(1087kg/m3) = 0.67kg Total charge = 2.5 + 0.67 = 3.17kg (OK)

OD = ½” case (ID = 0.43").Extra R22 = ρV = 0.25πd2Lρ = 0.25(3.142)(0.430in x (0.0254m/in))2(68ft x (0.3048m/ft) – 7.6m)(1087kg/m3) = 1.34kg Total charge = 2.5 + 1.34 = 3.84kg (OK)

OD = 5/8" case (ID = 0.545").Extra R22 = ρV = 0.25πd2Lρ = 0.25(3.142)(0.545in x (0.0254mm/in))2(68ft x (0.3048m/ft) – 7.6m)(1087kg/m3) = 2.15kg Total charge = 2.5 + 2.15 = 4.65kg (NG)

Because the pipe length limit is not exceeded, the original pipe size is still recommended to be used in thissystem. The calculations reveal that the system will be safe to operate, but additional oil of 12.9 fl. oz. andadditional refrigerant R22 charge of 0.7kg must be added.

In this example, R-22 is used as the refrigerant. When other refrigerants are used, the corresponding refrigerantproperties must be applied. For example, properties of refrigerant R407C and R410A are available in theAppendix section. The corresponding pipe charts must also be used in the computation.

The purpose of installing crankcase heater is to protect the compressor from the negative effects of the liquidrefrigerant in the compressor and in the lubricating oil. In simple words, crankcase heaters are frequentlyused to retard migration. It removes the refrigerant by heating from the outside. Refrigerant entering thecompressor will be vaporized and driven back into the suction line. Crankcase heater should be installedduring long piping installations where the risk of liquid refrigerant migration is much higher.

The crankcase heater size differs according to the capacity and the application of the compressor. A heaterof about 40W to 80W should be used.

When the compressor is inactive for a long period, the crankcase heater should be energized for at least 6 to12 hours before operation of the compressor is started. Please note that burning might occur if oil gets on tothe crankcase heater.

Deterioration due to water condensation and acoustic insulation materials (such as “pheuol products”) canlead to defective insulation.

The most positive dependable means of properly controlling the liquid refrigerant, particularly if the charge islarge, is by means of a pump down cycle. By closing a liquid line valve, the refrigerant can be pumped into thecondenser and receiver, and the compressor operation controlled by means of a low-pressure control. Therefrigerant can thus, be isolated during periods when the compressor is not in operation. Migration to thecompressor and crankcase is prevented.

Although the pump down cycle is one of the protection method against migration, it will not protect againstliquid flooding during operation.

Piping between the condenser and evaporator units shall not have too many bends. Bends should be avoidedas much as possible.

When the number of bends (bending angle) is large, the internal pipe resistance increases, and the refrigerantflow is impaired. These bends tend to retard oil return. The compressor capacity is also reduced and thereare higher risks of compressor failures. Refer Section 1.6 for the recommended maximum number ofbends.

The system does not perform correctly when both the condenser and evaporator units are too far away fromeach other (either vertically or horizontally). The required refrigerant quantity increases and the products’guaranteed range is exceeded. Also, the circulation of refrigerant and lubrication oil malfunctions, the capacitydrops, and compressor trouble may occur.

The piping length should be as short as possible because the capacity and the reliability decreases as pipinglength increases. Select the shortest length possible. Refer Section 1.6 for the recomended maximumheights and lengths.

Section 3Capacity EffectOne of the most frequently asked question with long piping installations is “How much is the effect to thecooling or heating capacities when operating with long piping?” It has been mentioned that with longerpiping, the capacity will be lower due to pressure losses along the pipe lines. However, to determine themagnitude of the capacity reduction is not just a simple matter of calculating the pressure drops along thepipe line.

The cooling or heating capacity of a system is very much dependent on the operating suction and dischargepressures of the compressor. It is also dependent on the amount of superheat at the suction, and subcoolat the condenser outlet. All of these boil down to the refrigerant mass flow rate pumped by the compressor.When the pipe lines become longer, and the refrigerant charge is increased, the values of both the superheatand subcool will also change. This will affect the mass flow rate. In other words, in order to accuratelydetermine the capacity, we will need to measure the pressures, superheat, and subcooling.

Another consideration is that with the longer pipe lines, there will be higher heat losses due to conductionalong the pipe length. Of course, this can be overcome by ensuring good pipe insulation on the pipes.Generally, a suitable pipe insulation of sufficient thickness (e.g. Superlon/Armaflex, ½” thick) will be effectivein giving good thermal insulation.

In view of the above, it is difficult to determine accurately the capacity reductions due to long pipe installation.It is not practical to directly measure both the compressor suction and discharge pressures as there are nopressure taps at these locations in the air-conditioning unit. A table or graph of the compressor performanceis also required to determine this value.

Nevertheless, it is possible to roughly estimate the capacity by using the calculated pressure drop alongthe suction and discharge pipe lines in relation to the original rated capacity of the system with the standardpipe length. It is assumed that the rated evaporating and condensing temperatures of the system remainthe same. Note 1.

Note 1: Strictly speaking, this is not true, as a reduction in suction pressure will also reduce the discharge pressure (and vice-versa). The system balancing will be affected. However, this assumption has been made to simplify the estimation process.

Page 39: Long Piping - Acson International Long Piping... · ... Precautions on Long Piping Installations 2.1 Additional Oil ... Oil Separator C.1 Introduction ... oil can be properly circulated

Cooling Capacity

The cooling capacity of the unit has been rated with a standard pipe length at a specific evaporating temperatureand condensing temperature.

Figure 3.1: Cooling cycle

With a longer pipe length, the compressor suction pressure must become lower in order to maintain thesame evaporating temperature at the coil, i.e. Te. As a result, the refrigerant mass flow rate of the compressorreduces, giving a lower cooling capacity. The longer the pipe the lower the suction pressure.

The pressure drop along the pipe can be expressed as equivalent temperature reading because of thegeneral acceptance of this method of pipe sizing. The corresponding pressure drop in psi (or kPa) may bedetermined by referring to the saturated refrigerant properties. Different refrigerants will give different valuesof pressure drop.

The following general capacity trend has been extracted from CARRIER Handbook:

Heating Capacity

With the action of the 4-way reversing valve, the suction pipe will now become the discharge pipe. Becauseof the expansion device configuration, the liquid pipe will maintain the same 2-phase flow.

Figure 3.2: Heating cycle

As before, the heating capacity has been rated at specific evaporating and condensing temperatures, withthe standard pipe length. With a longer pipe installation, there will be no change in the suction pipe linepressure drop, but rather the effect comes from the discharge pipe.Due to the additional discharge pipe pressure drop, the compressor discharge pressure has to be increasedin order to maintain the same condensing temperature at the coil.

As a result of this higher discharge pressure, the compressor capacity will decrease, increasing the powerinput. The following table illustrates this situation:

Notice that the amount of capacity loss due to the discharge pipe line pressure drop is lower than theequivalent pressure drop along the suction line.

Figure 3.3 shows the pressure drop chart for R-22

This chart gives the pressure drop along 3 different types of refrigerant pipe lines, i.e.a) suction pipe [A]b) liquid pipe [B]c) discharge pipe [C]

The differentiations can be found on the right hand side of the chart.

Note that for each of the liquid and discharge pipe, there is only one representative line irrespective of thepipe size. But there are several lines for the suction pipe, corresponding to different evaporating temperatures.

Figure 3.3 is applicable only for R-22 refrigerant. Other types of refrigerant will require different charts. Thechart for R-407C refrigerant has also been included in the Appendix section.

The following explains how the pressure drop chart is used. Refer to Figure 3.3:

The next step is to estimate the capacity changes. The approach used in this manual is by referring to thecapacity changes on the actual compressor performance curves. The focus will be on three different typesof compressors:

a) Matsushita rotary compressorb) Bristol reciprocating compressorc) Copeland scroll compressor

Table 3.3 shows the average percentage of capacity loss per degree of pressure drop along the suctionline for each of these compressors. This is done for cooling mode at a specific evaporating temperaturerange of 40 – 45ºF (4.4 – 7.2ºC) and condensing temperature range of 120 – 125ºF (48.9 – 51.7ºC).

By knowing the additional pressure drop along the long pipe line, the change of cooling or heating capacitycan be estimated.

Referring to Sample Calculation 06, from Figure 2.7 it was determined for the 5 hp unit, that the pressuredrop for the ¾” suction pipe is 15 ft. per 100 ft., and for the 3/8" liquid pipe is 25 ft. per 100 ft. The unit hasbeen rated with a standard pipe length of 25 ft (7.6 m). Thus, if the unit is installed with a total pipe length(inclusive of bends) of 68 ft, the pressure drop along the additional pipe length can be calculated as follows:

Additional suction pressure drop = (68 – 25) ft *15/100 = 6.45 psi.Additional liquid pressure drop = (68 – 25) ft * 25/100 = 10.75 psi.Within the scope of this manual, the effect of the liquid line pressure drop is assumed negligible.

a) For refrigerant R-22, every ºF of suction pressure drop is equivalent to about 1.5 psi. Refer to R-22 saturated tables at 40 – 45ºF. Hence, the additional suction pressure drop of 6.45 psi is equivalentto 6.45/1.5 = 4.3ºF.

If the unit is using a Copeland scroll compressor, the capacity reduction will be about 4.3 * 1.9 = 8.2%, i.e.giving a rated capacity of 0.918 * 50,000 = 45,900 Btu/hr.If a Bristol reciprocating compressor is used instead, the capacity reduction will be about 4.3 * 2.2 = 9.5%.

b) Recalculating the above example by using refrigerant R-407C, every ºF of suction pressure drop isalso equivalent to about 1.5 psi. Note that R-407C is an azeotropic refrigerant, and the refrigerantdew saturated temperature is used in the calculation. Refer Tables D.30 to D.33 for the refrigerantproperties. The calculation of the suction line pressure drop is done using the R-407C PressureDrop chart as in Figure 3.4. From the chart, the pressure drop of the ¾” suction pipe is 13 psi per100 feet. Therefore, the total equivalent pipe length of 68 ft. will now give a total pressure drop of(68 – 25) ft * 13/100 = 5.59 psi. This is equivalent to 5.59/1.5 = 3.7ºF.

With a Copeland scroll compressor (R-407C), the capacity reduction will be 3.7 * 2.1 = 7.8%, i.e. giving arated capacity of 0.922 * 50,000 = 46,100 Btu/hr.

The same can be done with other refrigerants using the saturated properties of the refrigerant.

During heating mode, both the pipes will now be under high pressure, with the suction pipe becoming thedischarge pipe. The same example will be used to work out the pressure drop along this discharge line.This example assumes the capillary tube is found in the outdoor unit with a condensing temperature of100ºF.

Again, the effect of the liquid line pressure drop is assumed negligible. Looking at the pressure drop chart,we find that the pressure drop along this is about 10 psi /100 ft. Refer to Figure 3.4.This translates to an additional discharge line pressure drop of (68 – 25)ft * 10 /100 = 4.3 psi

a) For R-22 refrigerant at 110 – 114ºF, every ºF of discharge pipe pressure drop is equivalent to3.3psi. Therefore, the additional pressure drop of 4.3 psi is equivalent to 4.3/3.3 = 1.3ºF.With a Copeland scroll compressor, this will give a capacity reduction of 1.3 * 0.6% =0.78%.

If the heating capacity of the unit is rated at 53,000 Btu/hr, the unit will thus, have a rating of 0.9922 * 53,000= 52,586 Btu/hr.

b) For R-407C refrigerant, every ºF of discharge pipe pressure drop is equivalent to 3.5 psi. FromFigure 3.5, a pressure drop of about 7 psi per 100 feet is obtained when this example is recalculatedusing R-407C. Thus, the additional discharge line pressure drop is (68 – 25) ft * 7/100 = 3 psi.

Hence, the long piping will give an equivalent pressure drop of 3/3.5 = 0.85ºF. The capacity reduction isthen 0.85 * 0.8% = 0.68% for a Bristol compressor.

Section 4Piping InstallationThe following section will provide some guidelines for refrigerant copper pipe installation, especially in relationto long piping jobs. Since the copper pipe is a flexible material, care must be taken to ensure proper installation.

4.1 Pipe Ma4.1 Pipe Ma4.1 Pipe Ma4.1 Pipe Ma4.1 Pipe Materialterialterialterialterial

It is recommended that Type L or Type M hard copper pipes be used to install the split type air-conditioningunits. See Table D.5 for the physical properties of the pipe. Alternatively, refrigeration tubing with thinner wallthickness, may be used. The wall thickness must be sufficient to withstand a burst pressure of at least 1700psig (11730 kPa) when used with R-22 and R-407C refrigerant.

However, working with R-410A refrigerant will require a stronger pipe material to withstand the higher workingpressure. Burst strength of at least 2400 psig will be required. In view of this, do not use the softer refrigerationtubing and Type M pipes. It is recommended that Type L be used for R-410A.

Joining of two pipes can be done easily by brazing with a copper filler rod. For better quality joint, a filler rodwith 2% silver may be used. It may also be necessary to braze the copper pipe to a brass or steel fitting. Insuch instances, brazing with 34% silver filler rods must be used (together with brazing flux).

4.2 Pipe Insula4.2 Pipe Insula4.2 Pipe Insula4.2 Pipe Insula4.2 Pipe Insulationtiontiontiontion

It is only necessary to insulate the cold suction pipe. Do not insulate the hot liquid pipe. If the expansiondevice is located in the outdoor unit, the liquid pipe will have a 2-phase flow inside which is cold. This mustalso be insulated. Generally, this is for the smaller units (1 to 2.5 hp).

However, for heat pump units, it is important for both pipes to be insulated. This is because of the coldambient temperatures when the unit is running in heat mode. The insulation will prevent heat loss to theambient along the hot pipe line.

Insulation can be done easily by inserting the copper pipes into elastomeric insulation pipes. Examples areArmaflex and Superlon. Use the correct insulation sizes to the corresponding copper pipe size. Do not usea larger insulation as this will create an air space which will then create condensation (sweating). Cut sectionsof the insulation must be glued or taped together over the pipes, e.g. at bends and joints.

Recommended insulation: k-value of 0.034 – 0.037 W/m.KMinimum insulation thickness: ½” (12.7 mm)

Do not insert two copper pipes into a single large pipe insulation. Such practice will cause the system to loseperformance due to heat gain or heat loss because the pipe surfaces are not in good contact with theinsulation. Cross heat transfer between a cold and hot pipe can occur due to the close proximity of the twopipes. Potential sweating problems may also occur due to the created air space within.

Normally, refrigerant pipes are run above the ceiling space. In order to do such horizontal runs, it is necessaryto have supports at certain intervals so that the pipes do not sag. Supports in the form of saddles or anglebrackets may be used. Multiple pipes can share the same support.

It is not recommended to run the pipes on the floor, for the simple reason that people may just step on thepipes and damage them. However, should there be a need to do so; some kind of protection must be given.An example is to place the pipes into a GI trunking box which is mounted (screwed) onto the floor.

Vertical pipe runs (of small sizes up to 5/8") are usually mounted on walls by nailing them with wall clips. Thisis an easy and quick method of installation.

An alternative method is by using pipe brackets. Simple saddle brackets made with angle iron are mountedwith wall plugs onto the wall. The pipes are then clamped onto these brackets. This method is especiallygood for heavier and larger pipe sizes.

Another method of running these pipes is by using electrical cable trays. These pre-fabricated trays are mounted onto the wall by using saddle brackets. The copper pipes are then clamped onto the trays. The main advantage of using these trays is a very neat, organized, and clean installation.

Figure 4.6: Vertical pipe installation on cable tray Another similar method is by using trunking boxes. The trunking can be mounted straight onto the wall with wall plugs or on brackets. Copper pipes are then inserted into the trunking. The main advantage is that the pipes will be covered and protected from damage.

Figure 4.7: Trunking box

In some instances, the pipes are required to go through a floor slab. A suitably sized hole must be madein the floor (e.g. by coring method) to accommodate all the pipes going through. Suitable brackets maythen be fabricated to hold the pipes together.

Copper pipes MUST NOT be bent with bare hands. This will cause the pipe to dent or collapse at the bentarea. Use the proper pipe bending tool and the correct tool size corresponding to the required pipe diameter.

Pipes up to ¾” can be bent by using the pipe bending tool. Generally, larger pipes are not bent but rathercopper elbows are used instead. The elbows are brazed onto straight lengths of pipe.

An application example will be making an oil trap. The pipe bending tool is used to bend the two U-shape ofthe trap. For the larger pipe size, braze together 4 elbows to form the trap.

It is very common to find refrigerant pipe runs having to go over obstacles, e.g. concrete beams and columns,existing pipe works, and electrical conduits. To do this, many elbows and bends are used along the way. Asmuch as this is necessary, it is important to keep within the specified maximum quantity of bends for thesystem. Refer to Table 1.1.

4.6 4.6 4.6 4.6 4.6 VVVVVibribribribribraaaaation and Noise in Pipingtion and Noise in Pipingtion and Noise in Pipingtion and Noise in Pipingtion and Noise in Piping

Improper pipe installation may create undesirable vibration and noise. The effect of such vibrations are:a) Physical damage to the piping, mainly due to fatigue failure along the brazed

joints. This lead to loss of refrigerant and subsequent compressor damage.b) Transmission of noise along the pipe into occupied spaces.

The vibrations along the pipes are generated by the rigid connection of the piping to the compressor. It isimpossible to eliminate vibration in piping, it is only possible to mitigate its effect. The indoor and outdoor airconditioning units have the internal piping designed to give minimal vibrations at the point of pipe connection.Thus, it is vital that the external piping must be designed and run properly to prevent unnecessary excessivevibrations.

Several points for consideration:1) In general, pipe vibration can be reduced by having flexibility in the piping and using isolation type

hangers. Do not clamp the pipe too near to the outdoor unit (which houses the compressor) as thiswill increase the pipe rigidity at the connection. Allow sufficient length before putting in the first clampor pipe support.

2) Vibration and noise radiation from a piping system may also be caused by gas pulsations due tothe compressor action or from turbulence of high velocity refrigerant flow in the pipes. This ismore apparent along the hot discharge line, e.g. during heating mode.

Noise resulting from gas pulsations is usually objectionable only when the piping characteristics ofthe system result in amplification of the pulsation due to resonance. Such problems may be reducedby changing the size and length of the resonating pipe. Mufflers may also be added. Turbulencenoises may be overcome by using a larger pipe to reduce the refrigerant velocities.

3) When the pipes penetrate through walls or floors, provide sufficient clearance to prevent vibrationcontact of the pipe surface with the hole.

4) Flexible metal hose may be used to absorb vibration transmitted along smaller pipe lines. Theseshould be installed at right angles to the direction of vibration for best effect. However, such metalhose is not suitable for larger pipes because it is not actually flexible unless the ratio of length to thediameter is relatively great. Since, in practice, the length which can be used is often limited, it followsthat flexibility is reduced with larger pipe size.

Appendix ACommon Compressor FailureThere are a few possibilities of compressor failure due to long piping installation. These are:

a) Liquid flood back.b) Flooded starts.c) Liquid slugging.d) Loss of lubrication.e) Over heating.f) Contamination.g) Presence of moisture.h) Refrigerant migration.i) Liquid compression mechanism.

A - 1

A.1A.1A.1A.1A.1 Liquid FLiquid FLiquid FLiquid FLiquid Floodbacloodbacloodbacloodbacloodbackkkkk

Liquid floodback can be termed as the continuous return of liquid refrigerant (instead of vapour) to thecompressor during the running cycle.

Typical common causes of liquid floodback are:

a) Over-charge of refrigerant.b) Return air filter dirty.c) Dirty coil.d) Return air duct too small.e) Evaporator blower dirty.f) Evaporator blower motor faulty.g) TXV or capillary tube oversized.h) Superheat setting is too low.

With long piping installations, the main contributing factor is the extra refrigerant charged to the system,which causes this liquid floodback phenomenon.

Liquid floodback will cause dilution of the compressor oil and also will ‘wash’ oil from the moving partssurfaces. This in turn will lead to overheating of the mechanical bearing surfaces as the lubricatingproperties of the oil deteriorate and friction builds-up.

Due to such causes, common compressor components affected are:a) Broken valves (suction and discharge).b) Seized bearings (main and cage).c) Seized connecting rods and pistons.d) Burnt motor due to mechanical fragments or high current draw.

To prevent such undesirable situation, there are several ways to prevent it:a) Adequately sized accumulator.b) Ensure sufficient superheat at the suction.c) Correct size of expansion valve.d) Proper air flow/distribution.e) Proper refrigerant charge.

A.2A.2A.2A.2A.2 FFFFFlooded Starlooded Starlooded Starlooded Starlooded Startststststs

Flooded starts are the result of refrigerant migration into the oil in the crankcase. This mixture causesfoaming of the oil during start-ups. The foaming mixture gets sucked into the compression chamber andcauses damage to the moving parts. Furthermore, during this period the oil level in the crankcase mayreduce below the safety limit, causing insufficient lubrication. This phenomenon is more serious at loweroutdoor temperatures as the refrigerant migration rate is higher. Generally, this absorption takes placeduring shutdown of the system.

With such phenomenon, the affected compressor components are:a) Broken valves (suction and discharge – IMMEDIATE).b) Blown gaskets – IMMEDIATE.c) Loss of lubrication – GRADUAL.

With long piping installations, because of the higher refrigerant charge, the migration rate into the oilbecomes higher. Therefore, during start-ups the foaming becomes more violent, subjecting the compressorto higher operating stresses.

There are ways to minimise such undesirable situation. They are:a) Proper refrigerant charge.b) Correct amount of oil in the crankcase (refer to manufacturer specifications and data sheets).c) Install crankcase heater.d) Pump down cycle.

A.3A.3A.3A.3A.3 Liquid SlugLiquid SlugLiquid SlugLiquid SlugLiquid Slugginggingginggingging

This is a term to describe a compressor pumping liquid refrigerant, oil, or both. In other words, it is liquidcompression. This is characterised by a loud metallic clatter within the compressor, accompanied by extremevibrations. Liquid slugging is a severe form of liquid floodback.

Slugging normally appears at start up when liquid refrigerant has migrated to the sump.Liquid slugging occurs due to:

a) No crankcase heater fitted.b) Defective crankcase heater or not connected.c) Compressor experiencing liquid floodback (see Section A.1: Liquid floodback).d) Overcharge of refrigerant.e) Overcharge of oil in crankcase.

Again the main contributing factor with long piping installations is the extra refrigerant charge required by thesystem. If not careful, this may cause large amount of liquid refrigerant flooding into the compressor.

Typical failures related to this phenomenon are:a) Damaged piston, connecting rod, crankshaft and scroll orbits.b) Suction or discharge reed broken.c) Motor damaged due to broken internal components.

There are several ways to prevent liquid slugging:a) Pump down control system.b) Crankcase heater must be energised at least 24 hours before the initial start-up.c) Adequate accumulator sizing.d) Proper superheat setting on the expansion valve.e) Correct size of expansion valve.f) Proper refrigerant charge.

Introduction

In any refrigeration system, oil and refrigerant are always present. The main purpose of oil is to lubricate themechanical moving parts of the compressor. Liquid refrigerant and oil are miscible in one another and theirmagnitude of miscibility will depend on the type of refrigerant, the temperature, and the pressure which bothare exposed to. It is because of this miscibility that a certain amount of oil will always leave the compressor’scrankcase and be circulated with the refrigerant.

Although oil is always treated as a lubricant to reduce mechanical wear and friction, oil actually accomplishesmany more purposes. The other functions of oil are:

a) Act as a seal between the discharge and suction sides of the compressor.b) Act as a noise dampener by reducing internal mechanical noise within a compressor.c) Performs heat transfer task by sweeping away any heat from internal rotating and stationary parts.

Causes and prevention

Loss of lubrication is defined as the absence or lack of oil in the crankcase. Generally, this will occur when therate of oil return is lower than the rate it is pumped out of the compressor. The system must allow oil to returnto the compressor at the rate it leaves; else it can cause overheating problems.

The common causes of loss of lubrication are:

a) Low refrigerant velocity (e.g. due to wrong pipe sizing).b) Insufficient or no oil traps.c) Very frequent ON/OFF cycling of the compressor.d) Low loads which reduces the refrigerant flow rate.e) Liquid flood back.f) Oil trapped in the system.g) Loss of refrigerant charge.

With long piping installations, there are several points to be aware of:

1) The higher refrigerant charge required in the system may dilute the oil in the compressor, causing deterioration of the lubricating properties. See Section 2.1: Additional oil.2) The long piping may cause the velocity of the refrigerant in the pipe to reduce, due to friction

forces. As a result, the oil becomes more difficult to be carried along by the refrigerant. Hence, therate of oil return to the compressor reduces.

To prevent oil loss, the following choices of solutions can be considered:

a) Apply compressor minimum run time setting to ensure oil return after start up.This will allow time for the compressor to return the oil from the system. Too frequent start-stopcycles will reduce this run time and can cause oil return problems.

b) Correctly size the pipe diameter length, and reduce the number of bends. Where necessary installproper oil traps on the vertical pipe lines.

c) Do not overcharge the system to prevent oil dilution.

A.5A.5A.5A.5A.5 OvOvOvOvOverheaerheaerheaerheaerheatingtingtingtingting

Compressors generate heat through compression, motor windings, and friction at load bearing surfaces. It isthis heat that causes the compressor external shell and discharge port to be hot. Compressors are designedto withstand this high temperature up to a specified limit.

In most common applications, the highest operating temperature allowed at the discharge line is 135oC(275oF) for reciprocating compressors and 115oC for rotary compressors. At temperatures higher than thislimit, the lubricating properties of the oil will deteriorate. The motor winding insulation will also begin tobreakdown, causing damage to the compressor. In some instances, some of the moving parts may alsoseize together.

The causes of over heating can be categorized into three broad areas:

a) Refrigerationi) Improper setting of controls (TXV, pressure regulators, hot gas bypass, pressure

control switches, etc) – causing insufficient refrigerant flow through the compressor,reducing the motor cooling

ii) Lack of proper suction line insulation – causing a higher return gas temperature tothe compressor

iii) Low suction pressure due to undersized evaporator and loss of refrigerant – whichcauses a lower refrigerant flow rate and reducing the motor cooling

iv) High discharge pressure due to blocked condenser, insufficient air circulation, re-circulation of hot discharge air, undersized discharge line, condenser fan motor failureand refrigerant overcharge.

v) Highly superheated return gas temperature

b) High compression ratioCompression ratio is defined as the ratio of the compressor discharge pressure to thesuction pressure. High ratios generally occur when the outdoor ambient temperaturebecomes very high while trying to maintain a cool indoor temperature. It is important thatthe system operates within the specified operating temperature limits to prevent suchhigh ratios.

c) Electricali) Voltage unbalance between phases, causing excessive winding temperature.ii) Current unbalance between phases, causing excessive winding temperature.iii) Single phasing of the power supply, causing high winding temperature.iv) Supply voltage too high (e.g. > 15% of nominal voltage).v) Faulty capacitors and contactors.vi) Rapid ON/OFF cycling of the compressor.

With the long piping installation, the main contributing factor which may lead to compressor overheating is dueto insufficient oil return and oil dilution. This lack of lubrication will cause friction to build up in the moving partsand cause the temperature to rise.

To prevent overheating:

a) Maintain the suction and discharge pressure at safe levels.b) Control the return gas temperature by

i) Insulating the suction line.ii) Setting adequate superheat.

c) Ensure sufficient lubrication (See Section A.4: Loss of lubriation).

A.6A.6A.6A.6A.6 ContaminaContaminaContaminaContaminaContaminationtiontiontiontion

Contamination is the presence of foreign substances in the refrigerant system. Some foreign matter can causechemical reaction or change the chemical composition of material within the system.

There are several types of contamination:

a) Acid in system from previous compressor change.b) Flux from solder joints.c) Copper shavings.d) Water.e) Dirt.f) Air.

The effects of contamination are:

a) Blocked oil passages – leads to bearing failure.b) Motor failures due to solid shorting windings.c) High head pressure due non condensable gases.d) Moisture in the system - forms acid in the system which attacks the metal and windings.

Moisture will also cause the expansion device to freeze-up internally.

The longer the piping, the higher the chances that contamination will get into the system.

There are several ways to eliminate such undesirable situations:

a) Air – Evacuate the system thoroughly before charging.b) Moisture – Evacuate the system thoroughly before charging.c) Foreign matter – Apply care to workmanship. Use filter-driers.

A - 5

Presence of Moisture

Of all the contaminants, moisture in a HVAC system is the most harmful. Moisture will reduce the life span ofthe HVAC system. The possible causes for moisture to be present are:

a) Open system – exposed to air and moisture.b) Compressor tubes left open.c) Leak in system (particularly on the low side).d) Wet rags or water to cool poor solder joints.e) Wet refrigerant.f) Lack of knowledge with the use of hygroscopic oils.g) Incorrect evacuation process.

Again, with long piping installations, the chances are higher that moisture may enter into the refrigerationsystem. This is due to the extra brazing/welding of the long pipe sections.

Figure A.1 shows the progression of compressor failure due to the contamination of foreign substances,while Figure A.2 shows the same when the contamination is due to air and moisture.

A.7A.7A.7A.7A.7 RRRRRefrigefrigefrigefrigefrigerererererant Migant Migant Migant Migant Migrrrrraaaaationtiontiontiontion

Refrigerant migration is described as the ‘absorption’ of liquid refrigerant into the compressor oil duringperiods when the compressor is not operating for a long period. It occurs when the compressor sump becomescolder than the indoor coil. As a result of this temperature differential, there will be partial pressure differentialof the refrigerant between these two locations. This will force the refrigerant to migrate to the compressorwhere it is absorbed into the oil. Although this type of migration is most pronounced in colder weather, it canalso occur at relatively high ambient temperatures with remote type condensing units for air conditioning andheat pump applications.

When the compressor is started in this condition, the following negative effects occur:

a) During starting, the rapid pressure drop inside the compressor causes the refrigerant in the lubricatingoil to ‘explode’ out, thereby creating foaming in the sump. The foam, which contains lubricating oil isthen sucked into the cylinder causing liquid compression.

b) Liquid compression occurs because the liquid refrigerant and lubricating oil in the cylinder arecompressed. This will damage the valve parts and bearings.

c) As the foam gets pumped out of the compressor, the amount of lubricating oil inside the compressoris reduced. Thus, the bearings will not be lubricated sufficiently and seizure might occur.

Long piping will require more refrigerant charge, therefore causing the migration rate to increase. The oildilution also becomes more severe. All this gives potential problems to the compressor if care is not takenduring installation and operation.

The dangers of refrigerant migration can be prevented by having proper control of the refrigerant chargeamount and by installing a crankcase heater. See Section A.2: Flooded starts and Section A.3: Liquid slugging.

Appendix BSuction AccumulatorAs mentioned in Section 2.4: Suction Accumulator, it is not recommended to install an additional suctionaccumulator in the long piping system as long as the maximum pipe length limits are not exceeded. Allheat pump products have built in suction accumulator. Nevertheless, the following provides someinformation on the function and construction of an accumulator.

The accumulator is a vessel which serves as a storage container for liquid refrigerant which has floodedthrough the system. It has a provision for metering the return of oil and liquid to the compressor at a ratein which the compressor can safely operate.

Each accumulator features an inlet deflector that bends refrigerant flow to prevent internal splashing andaid in the collection of refrigerant oil in the bottom of the unit. A U-tube is connected to the outlet connectionof the accumulator. As refrigerant gas leaves the accumulator, oil is pulled through an oil return orificeand returned to the compressor. Solid copper fittings allow for easy installation.

Suction accumulator assures only the return of refrigerant vapour and prevents compressor failure dueto liquid refrigerant entering the compressor.

BBBBB.1.1.1.1.1 AAAAApplicapplicapplicapplicapplicationstionstionstionstions

Refrigerant flood back in a system is one of the most common causes of compressor failure. Excessiveliquid refrigerant dilutes the oil in the compressor crankcase causing wear and tear to the moving parts.Complete loss of oil in the compressor can result in broken rods and crankshafts.

In heat pump systems, an accumulator can act as a receiver during the heating cycle, when the systemload imbalance results in excessive liquid refrigerant in the system. Flooding can occur in a heat pumpsystem whenever the cycle is switched between cooling and heating as there may be liquid that has notvaporized. The liquid is then pumped back to the compressor.

This may also occur during the defrost cycle, where the liquid has not cleared the evaporator on start upor termination of the defrost cycle, or during low ambient heating cycle when there is insufficient airtemperature to vaporize the liquid.

All the above mentioned problems will be compounded with long piping installations due to the additionalrefrigerant charge.

The accumulator should be located in the compressor’s common suction line between :a) The reversing valve and compressor in heat pump units, andb) The evaporator and compressor in cooling only units.

It must also have provisions for a positive return of oil to the compressor so that oil does not becometrapped in the accumulator. The liquid refrigerant and oil must be metered back to the compressor at acontrolled rate to avoid damage to the compressor. Therefore, proper sizing of the oil orifice is required.The actual refrigerant holding capacity needed for an accumulator is also determined by the particularapplication and should be selected to hold the maximum liquid refrigerant flood back anticipated.

B - 3

BBBBB.2.2.2.2.2 InstallaInstallaInstallaInstallaInstallationtiontiontiontion

Install the accumulator in the common suction line as close to the compressor as possible. Be sure thatthe inlet connection is connected to the common suction line and the outlet connection goes to thecompressor. Always install accumulators in the vertical position.

When the compressor-condensing unit is located indoors, there may be a problem of suction accumulatorsthat sweat and drip. It is necessary to completely insulate the accumulator to be vapour sealed to preventcondensation forming under the insulation.

A rusting problem may occur if the accumulator is exposed to moisture for long periods of time. Caremust be taken to prevent the paint from being burnt off during the welding process to avoid the metalfrom being exposed. When the compressor is being changed due to severe compressor burnout, thesuction accumulator should also be changed. The contaminants and particles that are caught in theaccumulator during the burnout can return to the new compressor and cause damage. It is also possiblethat oil from the first compressor may be stored in the accumulator and the excess oil return may causefailure.

BBBBB.3.3.3.3.3 Sizing and Selecting an Sizing and Selecting an Sizing and Selecting an Sizing and Selecting an Sizing and Selecting an AccumAccumAccumAccumAccumulaulaulaulaulatortortortortor

Suction accumulators should never be selected based on connection sizes only. It is more important toselect an accumulator based on the minimum pressure drop, proper oil return, and the amount of refrigerantit is required to hold.

Suction accumulators are meant to assist with momentary flooding and migration. However, under severeconditions the accumulator must have sufficient volume to prevent over flowing and causing damage tothe compressor. As a guideline, the accumulator must have adequate liquid holding capacity of not lessthan 50% of the entire system charge. The accumulator should not add excessive pressure drop to thesystem. A properly sized oil return orifice ensures positive oil return to the compressor. The recommendedorifice size is 1 mm.

Appendix COil Seperator

There is no requirement to install additional oil separators in the system if the pipe length limits are notexceeded, as described in Section 2.5 : Oil Separator. The following provides some additional informationabout the function, construction, and installation of commercially available oil separators.

CCCCC.1 Intr.1 Intr.1 Intr.1 Intr.1 Introductionoductionoductionoductionoduction

Refrigeration compressors are lubricated by refrigerant oil that circulates from the crankcase or housing.When the compressor operates, refrigerant oil will leave the compressor in a mixture with the hot compressedrefrigerant gas. Small amounts of oil circulating through the system will not affect the system’s performance.However, too much circulating oil interferes with the operation of flow controls, evaporator, condenser, andfilter driers.

At low temperature installations, refrigerant oil thickens and becomes difficult to move out of the evaporator.Accumulation of refrigerant oil in the evaporator would affect evaporator efficiency leading to compressorfailure.

No matter what type of oil separator, they are not 100% efficient; some small quantities of oil will continue tobe transported with the discharge gas and refrigerant through the system.

Placing an oil separator between the compressor discharge and the condenser will protect the refrigerationsystem. The oil separator will maintain correct oil level in the compressor, reduce oil trapping, and improve onsystem reliability.

CCCCC.2 Function.2 Function.2 Function.2 Function.2 Function

A mixture of refrigerant and oil from compressor enters into the inlet of the oil separator. This mixture flowsthrough a screen and baffle arrangement to cause the fine particles of oil to gather and drop to the bottom ofthe oil separator. The refrigerant gas passes through the outlet screen to trap residual oil particles, andpasses “oil free” to the condenser.

The refrigerant oil gathers in the bottom of the oil separator unit, where a float operated needle valve opensto allow the return of oil to the compressor. Oil returns quickly to the compressor because of the higherpressure in the oil separator than in the crankcase. When the oil level has lowered, the needle valve willreseat to allow oil to build-up again in the separator.

Page 71: Long Piping - Acson International Long Piping... · ... Precautions on Long Piping Installations 2.1 Additional Oil ... Oil Separator C.1 Introduction ... oil can be properly circulated

CCCCC.3 Installa.3 Installa.3 Installa.3 Installa.3 Installationtiontiontiontion

The oil separator must be primed with the correct type and grade of compressor oil. It must be mountedsecurely in a vertical position. If space permits, the separator can be installed inside the unit, else, it can beinstalled externally.

The oil separator should be installed in the discharge line as close as possible to the compressor. An initialcharge of refrigerant oil must be added to the oil separator to actuate the float mechanism to return oil to thecompressor. Use the same type of oil that is in the crankcase of the compressor.

The discharge line from the compressor is assembled to the inlet connection of the oil separator and a line isconnected from the outlet connection of the oil separator to the inlet of the condenser. The smallest connectionon the oil separator is the oil return connection and a line is run from this to the compressor crankcase orsuction pipe line. To do this, it may be necessary to cut the existing internal piping of the unit and modify it.

The pipe line from the separator to the condenser should be carried about 50mm higher than the condenserand pitched with a downward slope into the condenser inlet connection. In this way, should any condensationoccur in this line at the condenser connection, it will drain forward into the condenser.

C - 3

The body of the oil separator should be insulated so that it retains some heat during the compressor idleperiods. Otherwise, it may act as a primary condenser on start up. If this should occur, the separator will feedcondensed liquid refrigerant back to the compressor crankcase, causing liquid hammering, oil dilution, andrisk of more mechanical damage. This situation can easily and safely be eliminated by the addition of anelectrical off cycle heater cable of low wattage, applied to the separator body below the insulation.

CCCCC.4 Maintenance.4 Maintenance.4 Maintenance.4 Maintenance.4 Maintenance

When the float valve jams, oil stops flowing to the compressor preventing sufficient oil return. A periodicinspection will help prevent such undesired situation.

Oil separators stop working when solid materials such as oxide scale and carbon jam the float mechanismand block the orifice to the compressor.

The high discharge temperatures of the compressor may cause solid particles to be formed in the oil. Theseparticles will end up in the bottom of the separator, jamming the float mechanism and blocking the valve seat.

If the oil return is continually hot, the oil float valve may be leaking, or it is being held open by sludge or foreignmatter. The backpressure will be affected, reducing system capacity. A compressor that is pumping excessiveoil will also cause the return line to be continually hot.

If the oil return line is continually cold, there may be condensation of liquid refrigerant in the oil separator. Thisliquid, when entering the compressor crankcase could cause lubrication failure within the compressor. Thisshould not be allowed to happen.

When piping up long discharge lines, vertical runs of piping should include oil traps every 3 meters of rise toprevent excess oil in the discharge line from returning to the oil separator during the off cycle.

During long off-cycles or long manual shutdowns, liquid refrigerant may collect in the oil separator. The returnof liquid refrigerant to the compressor through the oil return line may cause slugging and possible damage tothe compressor. A check valve installed on the outlet line of the oil separator will help prevent the liquidrefrigerant from returning to the compressor. Insulating the oil separator will prevent it from acting as acondenser and passing heat to the surrounding air. The addition of a filter in the oil return line will help keepthe oil clean.

Oil Dilution RatioAs discuss at Section 2.1, liquid flood back will cause dilution of the compressor oil. This dilutionprocess will deteriote the lubricating properties of oil.

The formula shown below is to help end users to select a proper refrigerant charge and oil charge:

Where: 1) R is a dilution ratio and must be greater than 22%. 2) Volume for oil in centimeter cube (cc).

3) ρoil is assume to be 0.9g/cc.

Sample calculation A-01:

a) Standard factory testing length = 7.6m / 24.9 ftb) Actual pipe length = 10.0m / 32.8ftc) Compressor specifications: i) Initial oil charge = 38fl.oz. (Brand new compressor) ii) Refill oil charge = 34fl.oz. (Not brand new compressor)d) Standard factory charge = 2.50kg

Extra length = 32.8ft – 24.9ft = 7.9 ft

With 10ft = 3fl.oz. , therefore extra oil charge for extra length of: 7.9ft = 2.37fl.oz.

1 fl.oz » 30cm 3 » 0.03l

Total volume of oil = 38.00fl.oz + 2.37fl.oz = 40.37fl.oz = 1211.1cm3

Substitute values to equattion A.3 :

=

=

R is greater than 22%, therefore criteria met.

0.9 x 1211.1 x 100%0.9 x 1211.1 + 250030.36%
