1 - 1 Indoor unit selection
Enter indoor unit capacity tables at given indoor and outdoor temperature.
Select the unit that the capacity is the nearest to and higher than the given load.
NOTE
1 Individual indoor unit capacity is subject to change by the combination. Actual capacity has to be calculated according to the combination by using
outdoor units capacity table.
1 - 2 Outdoor unit selection
Allowable combinations are indicated in indoor unit combination total capacity index table.
In general, oudoor units can be selected as follows though the location of the unit, zoning and usage of the rooms should be considered.
The indoor and outdoor unit combination is determined that the sum of indoor unit capacity index is nearest to and smaller than the capacity index at
100 % combination ratio of each outdoor unit. Up to 16 indoor units can be connected to one outdoor unit. It is recommended to choose a larger
outdoor unit if the installation space is large enough.
If the combination ratio is higher than 100 %, the indoor unit selection will have to be reviewed by using actual capacity of each indoor unit.

Air-cooled selection procedure
1 Selection procedure VRVII system based on cooling load
1 - 3 Actual performance data
Use outdoor unit capacity tables
Determine the correct table according to the outdoor unit model and combination ratio.
Enter the table at given indoor and outdoor temperature and find the outdoor capacity and power input. The individual indoor unit capacity (power
input) can be calculated as follows:
ICA =
OCA x INX
TNX
ICA: Individual indoor unit capacity (power input)
OCA: Outdoor unit capacity (power input)
INX: Individual indoor unit capacity index
TNX: Total capacity index
Then, correct the indoor unit capacity according to the piping length.
If the corrected capacity is smaller than the load, the size of indoor unit has to be increased. Repeat the same selection procedure.

2 Indoor unit selection
Enter indoor unit capacity table at:
20CWB indoor temperature
33CDB outdoor air temperature.
Selection results are as follows:
3 Outdoor unit selection
Assume that the indoor and outdoor unit combination is as follows.
Outdoor unit: RXYQ10M
Indoor unit: FXCQ25M7 x 3, FXCQ40M7 x 5
Indoor unit combination total capacity index

1 - 4 Selection example based on cooling load
4 Actual performance data (50Hz)
Outdoor unit cooling capacity: 30.5kW (RXYQ10M, 110 %)
Individual capacity
Capacity of FXCQ25M = 30.5 x
25
= 2.77kW
275
Capacity of FXCQ40M = 30.5 x
40
= 4.44kW
275
Actual combination capacity
The unit size for room A has to be increased from 25 to 32 because the capacity is less than the load. For new combination, actual capacity is calculated
as follows.
Indoor unit combination total capacity index
(25 x 2) +31.25 + (40 x5) = 281.25 (112.5 %)
Outdoor unit cooling capacity:
27,610 kcal/h (direct interpolation between 110 % and 120 % in the table)
Individual capacity
Capacity of FXCQ25M = 30.0 x
25
= 2.7kW
281.25
Capacity of FXCQ32M = 30.0 x
32
= 3.4kW
281.25
Capacity of FXCQ40M = 30.0 x
40
= 4.3kW
281.25
Actual capacity of new combination
Then, the capacities have to be corrected for actual piping length according to the location of indoor and outdoor units and the distance between them.

Rate of change in cooling capacity Rate of change in heating capacity
3D045710B
NOTES
1 These figures illustrate the rate of change of a standard indoor unit system at maximum load (with the thermostat set to maximum) under standard
conditions.
Moreover, under partial load conditions, there is only a minor deviation from the rate of change in capacity, shown in the above figures.
2 With this outdoor unit, evaporating pressure constant control when cooling, and condensing pressure constant control when heating is carried out.
3 Method of calculating cooling/heating capacity (max. capacity for combination with standard indoor unit)
Cooling/heating capacity = cooling/heating capacity obtained from performance characteristics table x each capacity rate of change
In the case length of piping differs depending on the indoor unit, maximum capacity of eacht unit during simultaneous operation is:
Cooling/heating capacity = cooling/heating capacity obtained from performance characteristics table x each capacity rate of change
4 When overall equivalent pipe length is 90m or more, the diameter of the main gas pipes (outdoor unit-branch sections) must be increased..
[Diameter of above case]
5 When the main section of the interunit gas pipe diameters are increased the overall equivalent length should be calculated as follows.
Overall equivalent length = Equivalent length to main pipe x 0.5 + Equivalent length after branching
In the above case (Cooling)
Overall equivalent length = 80m x 0.5 + 40m = 80m
The correction factor in capacity when Hp=0m is thus approximately 0.78

Maximum capacity of outdoor units = capacity of outdoor units from capacity table at 100% connection ratio
x correction ratio of piping to farest indoor
Condition: Indoor connection ratio exceeds 100%
Maximum capacity of outdoor units = capacity of outdoor from capacity table at installed connection ratio
x correction ratio of piping to farest indoor
4 When the overall equivalent pipe length is 90m or more, main gas and liquid pipe diameters must be increased..
For new diameters see below.
5 When the pipe length after the first refrigerant branch kit is more than 40m, pipe size between first and final branch kit must be increased (refer also
to installation manual).
Diameter of main pipes (standard size)
6 Equivalent length used in the above figures is based upon the following equivalent length.
Equivalent piping length = Equivalent length of main pipe x Correction factor +
Equivalent length of branch pipes x Correction factor
Choose a correction factor from the following table.

3 Method of calculating the capacity of the outdoor units:
The maximum capacity of the system will be either the total capacity of the indoor units or the maximum capacity of the outdoor units as mentioned
below, whichever is smaller.
Condition: Indoor connection ratio does not exceed 100%
Maximum capacity of outdoor units = capacity of outdoor units from capacity table at 100% connection ratio
x correction ratio of piping to farest indoor
Condition: Indoor connection ratio exceeds 100%
Maximum capacity of outdoor units = capacity of outdoor from capacity table at installed connection ratio

NOTES
1 These figures illustrate the correction ratio for piping length in capacity for a standard indoor unit system at maximum load (with the thermostat set to
maximum) under standard conditions.
Moreover, under partial load conditions, there is only a minor deviation from the capacity correction ratio, shown in the above figures.
2 With this outdoor unit, constant evaporating pressure control when cooling and constant condensing pressure control when heating is carried out.
3 Method of calculating the capacity of the outdoor units:
The maximum capacity of the system will be either the total capacity of the indoor units or the maximum capacity of the outdoor units as mentioned
below, whichever is smaller.
Condition: Indoor connection ratio does not exceed 100%
Maximum capacity of outdoor units = capacity of outdoor units from capacity table at 100% connection ratio
x correction ratio of piping to farest indoor
Condition: Indoor connection ratio exceeds 100%
Maximum capacity of outdoor units = capacity of outdoor from capacity table at installed connection ratio
x correction ratio of piping to farest indoor
4 When the overall equivalent pipe length is 90m or more, main gas and liquid pipe diameters must be increased..
For new diameters see below.
5 When the pipe length after the first refrigerant branch kit is more than 40m, pipe size between first and final branch kit must be increased (refer also
to installation manual).
Diameter of main pipes (standard size)
6 Equivalent length used in the above figures is based upon the following equivalent length.
Equivalent piping length = Equivalent length of main pipe x Correction factor +
Equivalent length of branch pipes x Correction factor
Choose a correction factor from the following table.
When cooling capacity is calculated: gas pipe size
When heating capacity is calculated: liquid pipe size.
7 Example
In the above case
(Cooling) Overall equivalent length = 80m x 1.0 + 40m x 1.0 = 120m
(Heating) Overall equivalent length = 80m x 0.5 + 40m x 1.0 = 80m
The rate of change in:
cooling capacity when height difference = 0 is thus approximately 0.89
heating capacity when height difference = 0 is thus approximately 1.0

NOTES
1 These figures illustrate the correction ratio for piping length in capacity for a standard indoor unit system at maximum load (with the thermostat set to
maximum) under standard conditions.
Moreover, under partial load conditions, there is only a minor deviation from the capacity correction ratio, shown in the above figures.
2 With this outdoor unit, constant evaporating pressure control when cooling and constant condensing pressure control when heating is carried out.
3 Method of calculating the capacity of the outdoor units:
The maximum capacity of the system will be either the total capacity of the indoor units or the maximum capacity of the outdoor units as mentioned
below, whichever is smaller.
Condition: Indoor connection ratio does not exceed 100%
Maximum capacity of outdoor units = capacity of outdoor units from capacity table at 100% connection ratio
x correction ratio of piping to farest indoor
Condition: Indoor connection ratio exceeds 100%
Maximum capacity of outdoor units = capacity of outdoor from capacity table at installed connection ratio
x correction ratio of piping to farest indoor
4 When the overall equivalent pipe length is 90m or more, main gas and liquid pipe diameters must be increased..
For new diameters see below.
5 When the pipe length after the first refrigerant branch kit is more than 40m, pipe size between first and final branch kit must be increased (refer also
to installation manual).
Diameter of main pipes (standard size)
6 Equivalent length used in the above figures is based upon the following equivalent length.
Equivalent piping length = Equivalent length of main pipe x Correction factor +
Equivalent length of branch pipes x Correction factor
Choose a correction factor from the following table.
When cooling capacity is calculated: gas pipe size
When heating capacity is calculated: liquid pipe size.
7 Example
In the above case
(Cooling) Overall equivalent length = 80m x 1.0 + 40m x 1.0 = 120m
(Heating) Overall equivalent length = 80m x 0.5 + 40m x 1.0 = 80m
The rate of change in:
cooling capacity when height difference = 0 is thus approximately 0.83
heating capacity when height difference = 0 is thus approximately 0.97

3 Method of calculating cooling / heating capacity (max. capacity for combination with standard indoor unit)
cooling / heating capacity = cooling / heating capacity obtained from performance characteristics table x each capacity rate of change
When piping length differs depending on the indoor unit, maximum capacity of each unit during simultaneous operation is:
cooling / heating capacity = cooling / heating capacity of each unit x capacity rate of change for each piping length
4 When overall equivalent pipe length is 90m or more, the diameter of the main gas pipes (outdoor unit-branch sections) must be increased.
5 When the main sections of the interunit gas pipe diameters are increased the overall equivalent length should be calculated as follows.
(Heating only)
Overall equivalent length = Equivalent length to main pipe x 0.5 + Equivalent length after branching
Example
In the above case (Heating)
Overall equivalent length = 80m x 0.5 + 40m = 80m
The correction factor in capacity when H
p
= 0m is thus approximately 1.0
6 In the combination which does not include cooling only indoor unit, calculate the equivalent length pipe by the following when you calculate

Overall equivalent length = Equivalent length to main pipe x 0.5 + Equivalent length after branching
Example
In the above case (Cooling)
Overall equivalent length = 80m x 0.5 + 40m = 80m

NOTES
1 These figures illustrate the rate of change in capacity of a standard indoor unit system at maximum load (with the thermostat set to
maximum) under standard conditions.
Moreover, under partial load conditions there is only a minor deviation from the rate of change in capacity shown in the above figures.
2 With this outdoor unit, evaporating pressure constant control when cooling, and condensing pressure constant control when heating is
carried out.
3 Method of calculating cooling / heating capacity (max. capacity for combination with standard indoor unit)
cooling / heating capacity = cooling / heating capacity obtained from performance characteristics table x each capacity rate of change
When piping length differs depending on the indoor unit, maximum capacity of each unit during simultaneous operation is:
cooling / heating capacity = cooling / heating capacity of each unit x capacity rate of change for each piping length
4 When overall equivalent pipe length is 90m or more, the diameter of the main liquid pipes (outdoor unit-branch sections) must be increased.
5 When the main sections of the interunit gas pipe diameters are increased the overall equivalent length should be calculated as follows.
(Heating only)
Overall equivalent length = Equivalent length to main pipe x 0.5 + Equivalent length after branching
Example
In the above case (Heating)
Overall equivalent length = 80m x 0.5 + 40m = 80m
The correction factor in capacity when H
p
= 0m is thus approximately 1.0
6 In the combination which does not include cooling only indoor unit, calculate the equivalent length pipe by the following when you calculate
cooling capacity.
Overall equivalent length = Equivalent length to main pipe x 0.5 + Equivalent length after branching
Example
In the above case (Cooling)
Overall equivalent length = 80m x 0.5 + 40m = 80m
The correction factor in capacity when H
p
= 0m is thus approximately 0.88

3 Integrated heating capacity coefficient
2 The tables do not take account of the reduction in capacity when frost has accumulated or while the defrosting operation is in progress.
The capacity values which take these factors into account, in other words the integrated heating capacity values, can be calculated as follows:
Formula: Integrated heating capacity = A
Value given in table of capacity characteristics = B
Integrating correction factor for frost accumulation (kW) = C
A = B x C
3 Correction factor for finding integrated heating capacity
3 Please note that when there is an accumulation of snow against the outside surface of the outdoor unit heat exchanger, there will always be a
temporary reduction in capacity although this will, of course, vary in degree in accordance with a number of other factors such as the outdoor
temperature (CDB), relative humidity (RH) and the amount of frosting which occurs.

Allowable length after the branch Actual pipe length
Pipe length from rst refrigerant branch kit (either refnet joint or refnet header) to indoor unit 40 m
[Example] unit 8: b+c+d+e+f+g+p40 m [Example] unit 6: b+h40 m, unit 8: i+k40 m [Example] unit 8: i40 m
Refrigerant branch kit selection
Refrigerant branch kits can only be used with R410A.
Use the following refnet joint Use the following refnet header
Pipe size selection
Caution on selecting connection pipes
If the overall equivalent piping length is 90 m, be sure to
enlarge the pipe diameter of the gas-side main piping. If the
recommended pipe size is not available, stick to the original
pipe diameter (which may result in a small capacity decrease).

Pipe size selection
For an outdoor unit multi installation (RXYQ20~54P7W1B),
select the pipe size in accordance with the following gure.
A,B,C. Piping between outdoor unit and refrigerant branch kit
Choose from the following table in accordance with the outdoor unit total
capacity type, connected downstream.
Outdoor unit connection piping size
D. Piping between refrigerant branch kits
Choose from the following table in accordance with the total capacity of
all the indoor units connected below this.
Do not let the connection piping exceed the refrigerant piping size
chosen by general system model name.
E. Piping between refrigerant branch kit and indoor unit
Pipe size for direct connection to indoor unit must be the same as the
connection size of indoor unit.
When the equivalent pipe length between outdoor and indoor units is 90 m or more, the size of the main pipes (both gas side and liquid side) must be increased.
Depending on the length of the piping, the capacity lay drop, but even in such a case it is possible to increase the size of the main pipes.
How to calculate the additional refrigerant to be charged
Additional refrigerant to be charged R (kg)
R should be rounded off in units of 0.1 kg
Example for refrigerant branch using refnet joint and refnet
header for RXYQ34P7W1B
If the outdoor unit is RXYQ34P7W1B and the piping lengths are as
below
R = [30x0.26]+[10x0.18]+[10x0.12]+[40x0.059]+[49x0.022] = 14.238
R = 14.2 kg
Note 1 Allowable length after the rst refrigerant branch kit to indoor units is 40 m or less, however it can be extended up to 90 m if all the following conditions are fullled.
Required conditions Example drawings
It is necessary to increase the pipe size between the rst branch kit and the nal branch kit. (Reducers
must be procured on site.) However, if the pipes are of the same pipe size as the main pipe there is no
need to increase the pipe size.
indoor unit 8:
b+c+d+e+f+g+p90 m
increase the pipe size
of b, c, d, e, f, g
Increase the pipe size as follows
* If available on the site. Otherwise it can not be increased.
For calculation of total extension length, the actual length of above pipes must be doubled. (except main
pipe and the pipes that not increase the pipe size)

The refrigerant charge of the system must be less
than 100 kg. This means that in case the calculated
refrigerant charge is equal to or more than 95 kg you
must divide your multiple outdoor system into smaller
independent systems, each containing less than
95 kg refrigerant charge.
For factory charge, refer to the unit name plate.

B. Piping between outdoor branches
Choose from the following table in accordance with the total capacity
of all the outdoor units connected above this.
Between two immediately adjacent refrigerant branch kits
and BS unit
Choose from the following table in accordance with the total capacity
of all the indoor units connected below this.
Do not let the connection piping exceed the refrigerant piping size
chosen by general system model name.
C. Piping between outdoor branch and outdoor unit
D. Oil-equalizing line (Only for REYQ18 or greater)
Between BS unit (refrigerant branch kit) and indoor unit
Pipe size for direct connection to indoor unit must be the same as the
connection size of indoor unit.
How to calculate the additional refrigerant to be
charged
Additional refrigerant to be charged R (kg)
R should be rounded off in units of 0.1 kg
Example for refrigerant branch using refnet joint and refnet header for REYQ34
If the outdoor unit is REYQ34 and the piping lengths are as below
R = [30x0.25]+[10x0.17]+[10x0.11]+[40x0.054]+[49x0.022]x1.156 = 9.569 R = 9.6 kg
