Duct-Free Split Systems

LG HVAC systems offer a range of solutions that are cost efficient, quiet and attractive. Duct-Free Split systems are “split” into indoor and outdoor units, and provide a smart alternative to both central HVAC and window-mounted air conditioners. These inverter heat pump systems are available in a variety of configurations to suit different cooling and heating situations. Installation by a qualified HVAC contractor is safe and easy – little to no duct work or sheet metal is required.

Inverter Systems

LG Single Zone Ducted air-source systems offer zoning without the need for zone damper systems. The advanced controls of the ceiling-concealed ducted system provide exceptional building dehumidification and temperature control, and can rapidly adapt system operating parameters to the ever changing building load. Single-zone DFS systems are easy to design, install, and maintain. The modular design allows occupants to control their environmental condition, providing individualized control of the set-point temperature and allowing occupants to condition only the occupied zones.

Inverter variable-speed compressors are also measurably quieter and consume less energy than those in conventional air conditioners. The Inverter compressor ramps up or down to match the required room capacity and maintain the comfort level. When the selected temperature is reached, the inverter compressor operates at low speed to maintain that comfort level, thereby using less energy.

Quality Commitment

LG is committed to the success of DFS projects. We provide industry leading technical support during installation and commissioning. LG offers a variety of classes designed for installers and servicers to ensure that every system installation is completed successfully.

Classes are conducted at LG’s training centers and in field locations at various times throughout the year and upon special request.

ARCHITECTURAL APPEAL

Convergence of Technological Innovation with Flexibility and Style

Single-Zone Ceiling-Concealed Ducted Systems

A ceiling-concealed ducted system provides a system designer an edge to engineer a system with individual control, and design flexibility with advanced controls. Ceiling-concealed ducted systems are 208-230V/60Hz/1PH systems available in nominal capacities of 3/4, 1, 2, and 3 tons, and are best suited for applications with zones that require heating or cooling, such as residential, and small business office buildings.

Benefits of Ceiling-Concealed Ducted Systems

• Inverter technology

• Low static available in 9,000 and 12,000 Btu/h; High static available in 24,000, and 36,000 Btu/h capacities

• All-season use—heat pump models for both cooling and heating capabilities

• Operating ranges for 9,000 and 12,000 Btu/h low static outdoor units of 0°F to +118°F (DB) for cooling (Cooling range can be extended from 0°F down to -4°F using the Low Ambient Wind Baffle Kit [sold separately]); -4°F to +64°F (WB) for heating

• Operating ranges for 9,000 and 12,000 Btu/h low static indoor units of 57°F to 77°F (WB) for cooling; 59°F to 81°F (DB) for heating

Inverter Technology

Inverter variable-speed compressors are measurably quieter and consume less energy than those in conventional air conditioners. The Inverter compressor ramps up or down to match the required room capacity and maintain the comfort level. When the selected temperature is reached, the inverter compressor operates at low speed to maintain that comfort level, thereby using less energy.

Adaptable and Flexible

Ceiling-concealed ducted systems allow cooling or heating for a single room without the need for extensive remodeling. Long refrigerant piping lengths allow for extra design flexibility in indoor unit installation. These units may be used for a number of residential or commercial environments such as:

• Older homes

• New home construction

• Office buildings

• Restaurants

• Hospitals / Medical facilities

• Schools

• Nursing homes

• Retail establishments

• Houses of worship

PRODUCT FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Ceiling-Concealed Ducted Systems

Single zone ceiling-concealed ducted systems are equipped with inverter components that offer superior load matching and long piping installation. The product works for optimizing power consumption in residential and small office buildings. Using a ducted indoor unit with custom temperature controls allow for precise temperature settings in each zone of the building. Ceiling-concealed ducted indoor units allow flexibility in interior design.

Lower Sound Levels

When outdoor units operate fully loaded, they have one of the quietest sound levels in the industry, operating as low as 47 dB(A). To promote a quiet, comfortable environment, ceiling-concealed ducted indoor units operate as low as 23 dB(A). LG customers often ask if the outdoor unit is running after commissioning is complete.

All rotating components are soft-started by the controller using digitally controlled inverters, which reduce undesirable noise caused by fans and compressors cycling on and off.

Comfort Control at its Best

Tight temperature control through precise load matching. Unlike traditional air conditioning control systems, which use thermostatic controls to maintain room temperatures, LG inverters continuously vary the indoor unit fan speed and refrigerant flow, indirectly providing lower and more consistent humidity levels in the conditioned space. The longer the indoor coil temperature is below the dewpoint of the room in conjunction with air movement across the coil, the space humidity level will vary little, compared to technologies that cycle fans and compressors on and off multiple times per hour. The outdoor unit responds by varying the compressor speed and fan motors as needed to maintain system operating pressure. As a result, ceiling-concealed ducted systems deliver precise space temperature control.

Inverter Driven

The compressor is optimized to maximize compressor efficiency, which reduces power consumption and monthly utility bills. This

Ceiling-Concealed Ducted System Engineering Manual

inverter technology allows the LG ceiling-concealed ducted outdoor unit to vary the compressor motor shaft speed and deliver an appropriate amount of cooling to the indoor unit. Occupants remain comfortable while utility costs are reduced.

Operating Range

Ceiling-concealed ducted systems are available in 9,000 and 12,000 Btu/h capacities (low static), and in 24,000 and 36,000 Btu/h capacities (high static).

9,000 and 12,000 Btu/h Low Static Operating Ranges

• Operating ranges for outdoor units of 0°F to +118°F (DB) for cooling (Cooling range can be extended from 0°F down to -4°F using the Low Ambient Wind Baffle Kit [sold separately]); -4°F to +64°F (WB) for heating.

• Operating ranges for indoor units of 57°F to 77°F (WB) for cooling; 59°F to 81°F (DB) for heating.

• Indoor unit temperature setting range of 65°F to 86°F (DB) for cooling; 61°F to 86°F (WB) for heating.

24,000 and 36,000 High Static Operating Ranges

• Operating ranges for outdoor units of 5°F to +118°F (DB) for cooling; 0°F to +64°F (WB) for heating.

• Operating ranges for indoor units of 57°F to 77°F (WB) for cooling; 59°F to 81°F (DB) for heating.

• Indoor unit temperature setting range of 65°F to 86°F (DB) for cooling; 61°F to 86°F (WB) for heating

Heat Transfer Efficiency

Fin Design with GoldFin™ Coating

All ceiling-concealed ducted outdoor units are provided with large surface coils made of copper tubes with louvered aluminum fins designed to maximize unit operating efficiency over a wide range of ambient conditions. Standard from the factory, the LG ceilingconcealed ducted outdoor coil fin surface is coated with LG’s exclusive GoldFin™ anti-corrosive coating designed to prevent natural surface corrosion of the aluminum fins. This maintains heat transfer properties of the coil for an extended time. A hydrophilic coating is applied to the outdoor unit coil fin surface over the GoldFin coating. This coating enhances the development of heavier water droplets gathering on the fin surface. As a result, the droplets roll off the fin surfaces, delaying the point when frost forms on the coil surface during heating operation. This coating also makes it possible to easily clean the outdoor unit coil using a mild soap.

Other Features

Simplified Installation

The LG ceiling-concealed ducted system simplies and reduces

mechanical and control system design time. The designer no longer has to be concerned with interconnecting chilled and condenser water piping, complicated air distribution duct systems, matching and selecting chillers, towers, pumps, coils, fans, air handlers, or Variable Air Volume (VAV) boxes.

Setting the External Static Pressure on the Remote Controller

Use this function to set the wind strength for each airflow level.

• The external static pressure must be set by a trained service provider, and it must be set correctly. If the external static pressure is set incorrectly, the product may malfunction.

• Do not alter the external static pressure value that corresponds to each airflow level.

• External static pressure values vary according to the model.

• When the airflow rate is increased to a higher value, during the external static value setup, the previous airflow value will be stored in the system memory. (External static pressure values are saved to system memory before the changes are implemented).

EQUIPMENT SELECTION PROCEDURE

Cooling / Heating Correction Factors

For Ceiling-Concealed Ducted systems, calculate the equivalent length of the liquid line from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit. Also, determine the elevation difference of the indoor unit above or below the outdoor unit. Find corresponding cooling or heating capacity correction factors as shown below. Multiply the correction factors by the cooling or heating capacity obtained from the capacity table using design conditions. The result is the NET cooling or heating capacity.

Refrigerant Line Length Derates

For air-cooled systems, a capacity correction factor may have to be applied to account for the length of the system’s refrigerant pipe. Rate of change in capacity due to increased piping lengths is shown below.

EQUIPMENT SELECTION PROCEDURE

Defrost Correction Factor for Heating Operation

The outdoor unit heating capacity may need to be adjusted for frost accumulation on air-cooled systems. If design day conditions are below the dewpoint of the surrounding air, frost may not be a problem and no correction factor is needed. In certain weather conditions, however, frost may form and accumulate on the air-cooled outdoor unit coil and impact the coils ability to transfer heat. If significant frost accumulates on the outdoor unit coil, a defrost algorithm will start automatically. The timing between defrost periods is determined by the system’s ability to achieve a target head pressure value.

Capacity and AHRI ratings tables do not factor in capacity reduction when frost has accumulated on the condenser coil, nor during defrost operation. Integrated heating capacity values can be obtained using the formula:

A = B x C

Where: A = Integrated Heating Capacity.

B = Value found in the Capacity Table. C = Correction Factor for Frost Accumulation Factor (from Table 24).

There will be temporary reduction in capacity when frost / ice accumulates on the outside surface of the outdoor unit heat exchanger. The level of capacity reduction depends on a number of factors, for example, outdoor temperature (°F DB), relative humidity (RH), and the amount of frost present.

Table 30: Outdoor Unit Frost Accumulation Factor (Heating)1.

Entering DB (ºF)

Derate factor

Application Guidelines

Check the Indoor and Outdoor Unit Selection(s)

Compare the corrected cooling and heating capacities to the load calculations. Is each capacity sufficient for the zone it serves? For each indoor unit, the corrected capacity must be at least equal to the total of the cooling design load (plus ventilation load, if applicable)

for the space(s) served by the indoor unit. For each indoor unit, the corrected capacity also must be at least equal to the total of the heating design load (plus ventilation load, if applicable) for the space(s) and / or thermal zones served by the indoor unit.

The outdoor unit selected should be large enough to offset the total cooling load for all spaces it serves (account for ventilation air cooling load if the ventilation air has not been pretreated to room neutral conditions). The outdoor unit should also be large enough to offset the total heating load for all spaces it serves.

If the corrected heating capacity ratio exceeds 100%, reselect the equipment, or change the system design by moving some of the load to another system.

BUILDING VENTILATION DESIGN GUIDE

ASHRAE Standards 62.1 and 62.2 (depending on if the building is residential or commercial), and local codes specify the minimum volume of airflow that must be provided to an occupied space. Outdoor air is required to minimize adverse health effects, and it provides acceptable indoor air quality for building occupants while helping reduce the effects of off-gassing from certain building materials that may contribute to the corrosion of indoor units. Indoor units located within the zone typically require less airflow to condition the space. During the design phase, refer to the airflow capabilities listed in the specification tables for each product. Choose the best method for the application out of the five (5) ventilation options available.

Disclaimer

Although we believe that these building ventilation methods have been portrayed accurately, none of the methods have been tested, veried, or

evaluated by LG Electronics, U.S.A., Inc., In all cases, the designer, installer, and contractor should understand if the suggested method is used, it is used at their own risk. LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc., takes no responsibility and offers no warranty, expressed or implied, of merchantability

or tness of purpose if this method fails to perform as stated or intended.

• For a complete copy of ASHRAE Standard 62.1 and 62.2, refer to the American Standard of Heating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) website at www.ashrae.org.

Method 1: Natural Ventilation (Non-Ducted, Unconditioned Outdoor Air)

Natural ventilation devices, such as operable windows or louvers may be used to ventilate the building when local code permits. The open area of a window or the free area of a louver must meet the minimum percentage of the net occupied floor area.

Advantages

• Occupants control the volume of the ventilation air manually.

• Useful for historic buildings that have no ceiling space available for outdoor air ductwork.

• May be used with the full lineup of Duct-Free Split system indoor units.

Methodology illustrations are for examples only and do not depict actual indoor units for the specic outdoor unit pairing. These are generic illustrations to show ventilation design only.

Figure 24: Natural Ventilation (Non-Ducted, Unconditioned Outdoor Air).

Disadvantages

• In some locations, it may be difficult to control humidity levels when windows are open.

• Thermal comfort levels may be substandard when windows are open.

• Indoor units may have to be oversized to account for the added heating and cooling loads when windows are open.

• Provides outdoor air to perimeter spaces only. Additional mechanical ventilation system may be required to satisfy requirements for interior spaces.

• Outdoor air loads may be difficult to calculate since the quantity of outdoor air is not regulated.

• May affect indoor unit proper operation when open.

BUILDING VENTILATION DESIGN GUIDE

Method 2: Unconditioned Outdoor Air (Non-Ducted, Fan Assisted Ventilation)

When approved by local codes, the fan assisted ventilation method uses exhaust fans to remove air from the building, and outdoor air is drawn into occupied spaces through a wall louver or gravity roof intake hood. Supply fans can also be used to push the outdoor air into the space and building positive pressure will vent the exhaust air through louvers or roof-mounted exhaust hoods. Outdoor air is neither cooled nor heated before entering the building.

This may result in loss of building pressurization control, increasing inltration loads with adverse effects.

Advantages

• Outdoor air may be manually controlled by the occupant or automatic controls may be installed to open/close outdoor air dampers or to turn on/off ventilation fans.

• Useful for large open spaces like warehouses, garages, and workshops.

• Outdoor air volume is a known quantity. Air loads may be easier to calculate since fans will regulate the amount of outdoor air.

• May be used with the full lineup of Duct-Free Split system indoor units.

Figure 25: Unconditioned Outdoor Air (Non-Ducted, Fan Assisted Ventilation).

Disadvantages

• In some locations of the country, it may be difficult to control humidity levels.

• Thermal comfort levels may be substandard when louvers/hoods are opened.

• Indoor units may have to be oversized to account for the added heating/cooling loads when louvers/hoods are open.

• Hot, cold, and/or humid areas may be present if the outdoor air is not evenly distributed to the different spaces.

Method 3: Unconditioned Outdoor Air Ducted to Indoor Units

Untreated outdoor air is channeled through a duct system that is piped to the return air duct on Duct-Free Split system ducted indoor units or to the frame of Duct-Free Split system four-way cassettes.

Outside air may ow backward through the return air-lter grille when the indoor unit fan speed slows or stops in response to changes in the space load. This may result in captured particulate on the lter media being blown back into the conditioned space.

Advantages

• May require less ductwork if indoor units are placed near outdoor walls or a roof deck.

• Controls must be interlocked to shut off the outdoor air supply fan when the space is unoccupied.

• Third-party demand-control ventilation controls may be installed to regulate outdoor intake based on the CO2 levels of the occupied space.

Damper

OA Wall Cap

Inline Fan with Filter

Disadvantages

• Fan(s) will be required to push outdoor air to the indoor unit to overcome the additional static pressure.

• Filter required to be added to the outdoor air duct.

• Ducted and four-way cassette models are the only indoor units that accept the connection of an outdoor air duct to the unit case.

• In most cases, in lieu of using the factory mounted return-air thermistor on indoor units, a remote wall temperature sensor or zone controller will be needed to provide an accurate reading of the conditioned area temperature.

• Unconditioned outdoor air may affect indoor unit performance, which may necessitate oversizing the indoor unit.

Outdoor Air Unit

Method 4: Coupled Dedicated Outdoor Air (CDOA)

A separate, dedicated outdoor air system delivers air directly to a Duct-Free Split system indoor unit or to the return air duct system. After mixing with the return air stream, ventilation air passes through the indoor unit and into the conditioned space. The pretreatment system is capable of filtering, conditioning, and dehumidifying outdoor air to room neutral conditions.

Outside air may ow backward through the return air-lter grille when the indoor unit fan speed is reduced or stops when the space load is satised. This may result in captured particulate on the lter media being blown back into the conditioned space.

Advantages

• Indoor unit capacity may not need to be increased because of outdoor air.

• Fan and filter system is centralized to the main outdoor air unit.

Figure 27: Coupled Dedicated Outdoor Air (CDOA).

Disadvantages

• Ducted and four-way cassette indoor units are the only models designed for direct connection of an outside air duct.

• Ceiling space is required for ductwork.

• Failure of outdoor air may impact indoor unit operation.

• In lieu of using the factory mounted return-air thermistor, a remote wall temperature sensor or zone controller may be required to provide an accurate conditioned space temperature reading.

Method 5: Decoupled Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DDOAS)

Provide a separate, dedicated outdoor-air system designed to filter, condition, and dehumidify ventilation air and deliver it directly to the conditioned space through a separate register or grille. This approach requires a separate independent ventilation duct system not associated with the Duct-Free Split system.

LG recommends using the DDOAS method in all installations.

Advantages

• May be used with the full lineup of Duct-Free Split system indoor units.

• The outdoor air unit may supply “neutral” air to the occupant space even when the Duct-Free Split system indoor unit fan changes speed or cycles on and off. DDOAS controls do not have to be interlocked with the Duct-Free Split system.

• In lieu of installing localized smaller outside air treatment equipment throughout the building, this method centralizes the ventilation air source making service and filter changes easier and less disruptive for the building occupants.

•

Third-party demand control ventilation controls are more readily accommodated.

Figure 28: Decoupled Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DDOAS).

Disadvantages

• Ceiling space is required to accommodate ductwork between the outdoor air unit and ceiling diffusers.

PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS

Indoor Unit

Selecting the Best Location for the Indoor Unit

The unit should not be installed where sulfuric acid and ammable or corrosive gases are generated, vented into, or stored. There is risk of re, explosion, and physical injury or death.

Select a location for installing the indoor units that will meet the following conditions:

• Place the unit where air circulation will not be blocked.

• Locate the indoor unit in a location that is level, and where it can be easily connected to the outdoor unit.

• So that condensation drainage can be conveniently routed away.

• Include enough space around the indoor unit so that it is accessible for maintenance and service purposes.

• Where electrical noise / electromagnetic waves will not affect indoor unit operation. Maintain proper distances between the indoor units and electric wires, audio and visual appliances, breaker / circuit panels, etc. If the frequency signal of the appliance is unstable, then install the indoor unit a minimum of ten (10) feet away, and run the power and transmission cables through a conduit.

• An area that is level and with enough strength to bear the weight of the indoor unit(s).

Application Guidelines

Don’ts

• No obstacles to air circulation around the unit; keep proper distances from ceilings, doorways, floor, walls, etc.

• The unit should not be installed near a heat or steam source, or where considerable amounts of oil, iron powder, or flour are used.

• The unit should not be installed where sulfuric acid and flammable or corrosive gases are generated, vented into, or stored.

• Avoid installing the unit near high-frequency generators or near any equipment that generates an electromagnetic field (minimum 3-1/3 feet away).

If the unit is installed near a body of water, certain components are at risk of being corroded. Appropriate anti-corrosion methods should be taken for the unit and all components.

The unit may be damaged, may malfunction, and / or will not operate as designed if installed in any of the conditions listed.

Installing in an Area with High Humidity Levels

If the environment is prone to humidity levels of 80% or more (near the ocean, lakes, etc.) or where steam could collect in the plenum:

• Install additional insulation to the indoor unit (glass wool insulation >13/32 inches thick).

• Install additional insulation to the refrigerant piping (insulation >13/16 inches thick).

• Seal all gaps between the indoor unit and the ceiling tiles (make the area air tight) so that humidity does not transfer from the plenum to the conditioned space. Also, add a ceiling grille for ventilation.

Installing in an Area Exposed to Unconditioned Air

In some installation applications, areas (floors, walls) in some rooms may be exposed to unconditioned air (room may be above or next to an unheated garage or storeroom). To countermeasure:

• Verify that carpet is or will be installed (carpet may increase the temperature by three degrees).

• Add insulation between the floor joists.

• Install radiant heat or another type of heating system to the floor.

Selecting the Best Location for the Outdoor Unit

To avoid the possibility of re, do not install the unit in an area where combustible gas may generate, ow, stagnate, or leak. Failure to do so will

cause serious bodily injury or death.

Install a fence to prevent vermin from crawling into the unit or unauthorized individuals from accessing it. acidic solution and spray (sulfur) are often used as this may cause serious bodily injury or death.

steam, or sulfuric gas are present as this may cause serious bodily injury or death.

Select a location for installing the outdoor unit that will meet the following conditions:

• Where the unit will not be subjected to direct thermal radiation from other heat sources, nor an area that would not expose the outdoor unit to heat or steam like discharge from boiler stacks, chimneys, steam relief ports, other air conditioning units, kitchen vents, plumbing vents, and other sources of extreme temperatures.

• Where operating sound from the unit will not disturb inhabitants of surrounding buildings.

• Where the unit will not be exposed to direct, strong winds.

• Where there is enough strength to bear the weight of the unit.

• Include space for drainage to ensure condensate flows properly out of the unit when it is in heating mode. Avoid placing the outdoor unit in a low-lying area where water could accumulate.

• A location that allows for optimum air flow and is easily accessible for inspection, maintenance, and service.

• Where piping between the outdoor unit and indoor unit are within allowable limits.

• Where high-frequency electrical noise / electromagnetic waves will not affect operation.

The indoor unit may take longer to provide heat, or heating performance will be reduced in winter if the unit is installed:

1. In a narrow, shady location.

2. Near a location that has a lot of ground moisture.

3. In a highly humid environment.

4. In an area in which condensate does not drain properly.

Planning for Snow and Ice

In climates that experience snow buildup, place the unit on a raised platform to ensure proper condenser airflow. The raised support platform must be high enough to allow the unit to remain above possible snow drifts. Mount the unit on a field-provided stand that is higher than the maximum anticipated snowfall for the location. Design the mounting base to prevent snow accumulation on the platform in front or back of the unit case. If necessary, provide a field fabricated hood to keep snow and ice and/or drifting snow from accumulating on the coil surfaces. Use inlet and discharge duct or hoods to prevent snow or rain from accumulating on the fan inlet and outlet guards. Best practice prevents snow from accumulating on top of the unit. Consider tie-down requirements in case of high winds or where required by local codes.

Tie-Downs / Wind Restraints and Lightening Protection

The strength of the Ceiling-Concealed Duct (High Static) system outdoor unit frame is adequate to be used with field-provided wind restraint tie-downs.

Tie-Downs / Wind Restraints

• The strength of the roof must be checked before installing the outdoor units.

• If the installation site is prone to high winds or earthquakes, when installing on the wall or roof, securely anchor the mounting base using a field-provided tie-down configuration approved by a local professional engineer.

• The overall tie-down configuration must be approved by a local professional engineer. Always refer to local code when using a wind restraint system.

Lightening Protection

• To protect the outdoor unit from lightning, it should be placed within the specified lightning safety zone.

Table 34: Safety Zone Specications.

Application Guidelines

If the building does not include lightning protection, the outdoor unit may be damaged from a lightening strike. Inform the customer of this possibility in advance.

General Mounting

Securely attach the outdoor unit to a condenser pad, base rails, or other mounting platform that is securely anchored to the ground or building structure. The underlying structure or foundation must be designed to support the weight of the unit, and avoid placing the outdoor unit in a low lying area where water may accumulate.

Attaching the Outdoor Unit to the Bracket

When installing the outdoor unit on a wall or roof top, anchor the mounting base securely using nails or wire with regard to wind and earthquake or vibration.

Refer to installation manual, and follow the applicable local code for clearance, mounting, anchor, and vibration attenuation requirements.

Bolting the Outdoor Unit to the Platform Procedure

When installing the outdoor unit onto a concrete or rigid mount, use a bolt and nut.

1. Ensure that the concrete platform will not degrade easily, and has

enough strength to bear the weight of the unit.

2. Include an H-beam support. Firmly attach the corners, otherwise

the support will bend.

3. Use a hexagon nut.

Ceiling-Concealed Ducted System Engineering Manual

4. Use anti-vibration material.

5. Include enough space around the concrete foundation for con-

densate drainage.

6. Seal all wiring and piping access holes to prevent bugs from

entering the unit.

Figure 41: Platform Mounting.

Concrete Platform Specifications

• Concrete foundations should be made of one part cement, two

parts sand, and four parts gravel.

• The surface of the foundation should be finished with mortar with

Minimum Allowable Clearance and Service Access Requirements

Proper clearance for the outdoor unit coil is critical for proper unit operation. When installing the outdoor unit, consider service, inlet and outlet and minimum allowable space requirements as illustrated in the diagrams on the following pages.

• Include enough space for airflow and for service access. If installing multiple outdoor units, avoid placing the units where the discharge of

one unit will blow into the inlet side of an adjacent unit.

• If an awning is built over the unit to prevent direct sunlight or rain exposure, make sure that the discharge air of the outdoor unit isn’t

restricted.

• No obstacles to air circulation around the unit; keep proper distances from ceilings, fences, floor, walls, etc. (Install a fence to prevent

pests from damaging the unit or unauthorized individuals from accessing it.)

Outdoor Unit (9,000 to 24,000 Capacity) Service Access and Allowable Clearances

Specific clearance requirements in the diagram below are for (9,000 to 24,000 Btu/h capacities). Figure 42 shows the overall minimum clearances that must be observed for safe operation and adequate airflow around the outdoor unit.

When placing the outdoor unit under an overhang, awning, sunroof or other “roof-like structure”, observe the clearance requirements (as shown in Cases 1 and 2) for height in relation to the unit. To have successful service access to the outdoor unit, see Figure 42 for minimum spacing. When installing multiple outdoor units, see Cases 4 and 5 for correct spacing requirements.

If the outdoor unit is installed between standard and minimum clearances, capacity decreases approximately 10%.

REFRIGERANT PIPING DESIGN

Refrigerant Piping System Layout

Definitions

Physical Pipe Length: Actual length of straight segment(s) of pipe. Equivalent Pipe Length: Actual length of pipe plus equivalent lengths of long radius elbows, Y-branches, and valves.

Layout Procedure

1. Draft a one-line diagram of the proposed piping system connecting outdoor unit to indoor units. Follow the pipe limitations listed on page

63.

2. Calculate the physical length of each pipe segment and note it on the drawing.

3. Calculate the equivalent pipe length of each pipe segment.

Refrigerant Piping Design and Best Practices

Using Elbows

Field-supplied elbows are allowed as long as they are long radius and designed for use with R410A refrigerant. The designer should be cautious with the quantity and size of fittings used, and must account for the additional pressure losses in equivalent pipe length calculation. The equivalent pipe length of each elbow must be added to each pipe segment. See Table 41 for equivalent lengths.

Table 41: Equivalent Piping Length for Piping Components.

Long Radius Elbow (ft.)

Size (Inches)

1/4 3/8 1/2 5/8 3/4

0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 1.2

Field-Provided Isolation Ball Valves

It is acceptable to install field-supplied ball valves with Schrader ports at the indoor unit. Full-port isolation ball valves with Schrader ports (positioned between valve and indoor unit) rated for use with R410A refrigerant should be used on both the liquid and vapor lines.

If valves are not installed and the indoor unit needs to be removed or repaired, the entire system must be shut down and evacuated. Position valves with a minimum distance of three (3) to six (6) inches of pipe on either side of the valve. Valves must be easily accessible for service. If necessary, install drywall access doors or removable ceiling panels, and position the valves to face the access door or ceiling panel opening. Mount valves with adequate space between them to allow for placement of adequate pipe insulation around the valves. Recommended best practice is to clearly label and document locations of all service valves. The equivalent pipe length of each ball valve must be added to each pipe segment.

Obstacles

When an obstacle, such as an I-beam or concrete T, is in the path of the planned refrigerant pipe run, it is best practice to route the pipe over the obstacle. If adequate space is not available to route the insulated pipe over the obstacle, then route the pipe under the obstacle. In either case, it is imperative the horizontal section of pipe above or below the obstacle be a minimum of three (3) times greater than the longest vertical rise (or fall) distance.

Figure 47: Installing Piping Above and Below an Obstacle.

Above an obstacle.

Below an obstacle.

In-line Refrigeration Components

Components such as oil traps, solenoid valves, filter-dryers, sight glasses, tee fittings, and other after-market accessories are not permitted on the refrigerant piping system between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit. Single Zone air-source systems are provided with redundant systems that assure oil is properly returned to the compressor. Sight-glasses and solenoid valves may cause vapor to form in the liquid stream. Over time, dryers may deteriorate and introduce debris into the system. The designer and installer verify the refrigerant piping system is free of traps, sagging pipes, sight glasses, filter dryers, etc.

INSTALLATION & LAYOUT BEST PRACTICES

Refrigerant Piping System Layout

No Pipe Size Substitutions

Use only the pipe size as conveyed in the product installation instructions. Using a different size is prohibited and may result in a system malfunction or failure to work at all.

Inserts and Pipe Supports

Inserts

An insert can be installed into a floor or beam before the concrete sets so that fittings such as ducts, pipes, or suspension bolts can be added at a later time. Decide where the inserts should be placed before support installation.

A properly installed pipe system should be adequately supported to avoid pipe sagging. Sagging pipes become oil traps that lead to equipment malfunction.

Pipe Supports

Pipe supports should never touch the pipe wall; supports shall be installed outside (around) the primary pipe insulation jacket (see Figure 51). Insulate the pipe first because pipe supports shall be installed outside (around) the primary pipe insulation jacket. Clevis hangers should be used with shields between the hangers and insulation.

Field provided pipe supports should be designed to meet local codes. If allowed by code, use fiber straps or split-ring hangers suspended from the ceiling on all-thread rods (fiber straps or split ring hangers can be used as long as they do not compress the pipe insulation). Place a second layer of insulation over the pipe insulation jacket to prevent chafing and compression of the primary insulation within the confines of the support pipe clamp.

A properly installed pipe system will have sufficient supports to avoid pipes from sagging during the life of the system. As necessary, place supports closer for segments where potential sagging could occur. Maximum spacing of pipe supports must meet local codes. If local codes do not specify pipe support spacing, pipe must be supported a maximum of

five feet (5′) on center for straight segments of pipe up to 3/4" outside diameter size.

LG requires that all pipe penetrations through walls, floors, and pipes buried underground be properly insulated and routed through an appropriate wall sleeve of sufficient size to prevent compression of refrigerant pipe insulation and free movement of the pipe within the sleeve. Underground refrigerant pipe shall be routed inside a protective sleeve to prevent insulation deterioration.

Figure 52: Pipe Sleeve Options.

Refrigerant Piping Design and Best Practices

Diameter of penetrations shall be determined by pipe diameter plus the thickness of the insulation.

Underground Refrigerant Piping

Refrigerant pipe installed underground should be routed inside a vapor tight protective sleeve to prevent insulation deterioration and water infiltration. Refrigerant pipe installed inside underground casing must be continuous without any joints. Underground refrigerant pipe must be located at a level below the frost line.

Brazing Practices

Keep the piping system free of contaminants and debris such copper burrs, slag, or carbon dust during installation.

All joints are brazed in the field. Single Zone Ducted refrigeration system components contain very small capillary tubes, small orifices, electronic expansion valves, oil separators, and heat exchangers that can easily become blocked. Proper system operation depends on the installer using best practices and utmost care while assembling the piping system.

• While brazing, use a dry nitrogen purge operating at a minimum pressure of three

(3) psig and maintain a steady flow.

• Blow clean all pipe sections with dry nitrogen prior to assembly.

• Do not use a saw to cut pipe; use a tubing cutter. De-burr and clean all cuts

before assembly.

• Store pipe stock in a dry place. Keep pipe capped and clean.

• Use adapters to assemble different sizes of pipe.

• Do not use flux, soft solder, or anti-oxidant agents.

• Use a 15% silver phosphorous copper brazing alloy to avoid overheating and produce good flow.

• Protect isolation valves, electronic expansion valves, and other heat-sensitive control components from excessive heat with a wet rag or a

heat barrier spray product.

Flare Connection Practices

• Improperly installed flare connections can lead to refrigerant leaks.

• When tightening the flare unit with a torque wrench, ensure the direction for tightening follows the arrow on the wrench.

Refrigerant Piping Design and Best Practices

1. Place a couple of drops of refrigerant oil on the opening rim of the flare before assembling. Take care not to add any contaminants.

2. Align the center of the refrigerant pipe and corresponding connection and tighten the flare nut by hand.

3. Following the guidelines as outlined in Table 44 for the amount of torque to use, tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench until the wrench clicks.

4. When flare is sufficiently tightened and the system has been tested for refrigerant leaks, wrap insulation around the connection.

REFRIGERANT PIPING DESIGN

Refrigerant Piping System Layout

Refrigerant Piping System Insulation

All refrigerant piping including connections, field-provided isolation ball valves, service valves, and elbows shall be completely insulated using closed cell pipe insulation.

To prevent heat loss/heat gain through the refrigerant piping, all refrigerant piping including liquid lines and vapor lines shall be insulated sep-

arately. Insulation shall be a minimum 1/2″ thick, and thickness may need to be increased based on ambient conditions and local codes.

All insulation joints shall be glued with no air gaps. Insulation material shall fit snugly against the refrigeration pipe with no air space between it and the pipe. Insulation passing through pipe hangers, inside conduit, and/or sleeves must not be compressed. Protect insulation inside hangers and supports with a second layer. All pipe insulation exposed to the sun and outdoor elements shall be properly protected with PVC, aluminum vapor barrier, or alternatively placed in a weather-resistant enclosure such as a pipe rack with a top cover; and meet local codes. Pay special attention to insulating the pipes installed in the ceiling plenum.

The design engineer should perform calculations to determine if the factory-supplied insulation jackets are sufficient to meet local codes and avoid sweating. Maximum refrigerant piping temperature is +227°F; minimum refrigerant piping temperature is -4°F. Add additional insulation if necessary. Check the fit of the insulation jacket after the header fitting and all run-out pipes are installed. Mark all pipes at the point where the insulation jacket ends. Remove the jacket. Install field provided insulation on the run-out and main trunk pipes first. Install the LG-provided insulation plugs on the ends of all unused header ports. Peel the adhesive glue protector slip from the insulation jacket and install the clam-shell jacket over the fitting.

Charging

Each outdoor unit is factory charged (nameplate charge) for the evaporator as well as a standard 24.6 foot line. Any time a line set is used longer then the standard 24.6 foot line set length, the refrigerant charge has to be adjusted.

You must adjust the charge based on how many feet of piping are added based on 0.22 or 0.43 oz. of R410A per foot (depends on the system). The factory charge accommodates pipe lengths up to the standard length without requiring refrigerant removal.

REFRIGERANT PIPING DESIGN

Models with drain pump

PVC drain pipe

Condensate Drain Piping

Condensate drain piping should be constructed out of materials approved by local codes (generally PVC). Drain piping must have downward gradient of at least 1/50 to 1/100; to prevent reverse flow, slope should not be straight up and down, and support hangers should be used at 3-5/16 to 5 foot intervals to keep the condensate drainage system stable.

The inside temperature of the drain piping can rise to about 50°F. When high temperature and humidity air touch the outside surface of the drain pipe, condensation may form. To prevent condensation from forming, install polyethylene insulation 1/4 to 7/16 inches thick. Drain piping must be properly insulated to prevent damage to the indoor unit and the ceiling.

Test the condensate drain piping system for leaks 24 hours after installation is complete. Use only water to test the drain piping.

Outdoor Units

See pages 56 to 61 for information in reference to outdoor unit placement and condensate drainage.

Indoor Units

Ceiling-Concealed Ducted indoor units include a factory-installed drain pump. Depending on the location of the indoor unit, condensation can be drained directly to the outside of the building, or tied into a drainage piping system.
