Design & installation Guide For McQuay MDS Multi System
Pipe size Thickness of the insulation material
6.4mm~25.4mm 10mm or more
28.6mm~38.1mm 15mm or more
In case the environment is hot and damp, increase the recommended thickness (1 inch for the
main pipe, and half inch for the refnet joint) in the table above.
For the cooling only unit, if it is predicted that the system might run in the ambient temperature
of less than 10
degrees Celsius, the liquid pipe should also be insulated.
The thickness of insulation materials depends on the pipe size.

4.3.10 Ball Valve Operation
Ball valve operation procedures
Make sure the pipes are connected and the valves are
operated correctly. Please install and operate the valves
as follows:
Gas side ball valve operation
1) Remove the connection pipe with flange: Remove
the connection pipe with flange from the gas side
ball valve and braze it to the outside of the unit.
2) Stick the sealing material: When removing the
connection pipe and flange, remove the sealing
material on the ball valve label and stick it on the
flange of the ball valve to prevent dusts into the ball
valve.
3) Replace the hollow gasket: Before delivery, seal the refrigerant circulation loop with
a round solid sealing plate to avoid gas leakage between flanges. In such status, the
system cannot run. So, please replace with the hollow gasket on the ball valve.
Before installing the hollow gasket, clean the flange surface and the sealing plate.
4) Fix the connection pipe welded with gas pipe, hollow gasket and gas ball valve with screws.
Connection of the liquid side stop valve: Expand the flare fitting of the copper pipe. Then,
connect it with the threaded stop valve.
After pumping vacuum and fill refrigerant, make sure the valve is fully open. If the system
runs when the valve is closed, the unit pressure will be abnormal, damaging the
compressor and four-way valve.
Calculate the refrigerant amount to be added with the formula (refer to Section 9.3), and
fill the amount through the access opening when the pipe connection work is complete.
After the work is finished, firmly fix the access opening and cap to avoid gas leakage.
