APPLICATION GUIDELINES “Equipment Selection Procedure” on page 52 “Building Ventilation Design Guide” on page 54 “Placement Considerations” on page 59
EQUIPMENT SELECTION PROCEDURE Cooling / Heating Correction Factors For Four-Way Ceiling Cassette 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.
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.
BUILDING VENTILATION DESIGN GUIDE Four-Way Ceiling Cassette System Engineering Manual Indoor units (IDUs) should not be placed in an environment where the IDUs may be exposed to harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or in environments where there is improper air make up or supply or inadequate ventilation. If there are concerns about VOCs in the environment where the IDUs are installed, proper air make up or supply and/ or adequate ventilation should be provided.
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.
BUILDING VENTILATION DESIGN GUIDE Method 3: Unconditioned Outdoor Air Ducted to Indoor Units Four-Way Ceiling Cassette System Engineering Manual 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 flow backward through the return air-filter grille when the indoor unit fan speed slows or stops in response to changes in the space load.
BUILDING VENTILATION DESIGN GUIDE 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.
BUILDING VENTILATION DESIGN GUIDE Method 5: Decoupled Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DDOAS) 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.
PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS Indoor Unit Selecting the Best Location for the Indoor Unit WARNING The unit should not be installed where sulfuric acid and flammable or corrosive gases are generated, vented into, or stored. There is risk of fire, explosion, and physical injury or death. Don’ts • No obstacles to air circulation around the unit; keep proper distances from ceilings, doorways, floor, walls, etc.
PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS Indoor Unit Installing in an Area Exposed to Unconditioned Air 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).
PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS Outdoor Unit Selecting the Best Location for the Outdoor Unit DANGER To avoid the possibility of fire, do not install the unit in an area where combustible gas may generate, flow, 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.
PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS Outdoor Unit Four-Way Ceiling Cassette System Engineering Manual Tie-Downs / Wind Restraints and Lightening Protection The strength of the Four-Way Ceiling Cassette 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.

PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS Outdoor Unit Four-Way Ceiling Cassette System Engineering Manual 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.

REFRIGERANT PIPING DESIGN Design Guideline Summary Device Connection Limitations A single-zone four-way ceiling cassette system consists of one outdoor unit and one indoor unit. One of the most critical elements of a single-zone four-way ceiling cassette system is the refrigerant piping. The table below lists pipe length limits that must be followed in the design of a single-zone four-way ceiling cassette refrigerant pipe system.

Equivalent Pipe Length: Actual length of pipe plus equivalent lengths of long radius elbows, Y-branches, and valves. Four-Way Ceiling Cassette System Engineering Manual Layout Procedure 1. Draft a one-line diagram of the proposed piping system connecting outdoor unit to indoor units.
INSTALLATION & LAYOUT BEST PRACTICES Refrigerant Piping System Layout No Pipe Size Substitutions Using a different size is prohibited and may result in a system malfunction or failure to work at all. Figure 52: Installing an Insert Into a Concrete Beam. Inserts and Pipe Supports Inserts Insert Anti-vibration Material A properly installed pipe system should be adequately supported to avoid pipe sagging. Sagging pipes become oil traps that lead to equipment malfunction.
INSTALLATION & LAYOUT BEST PRACTICES Refrigerant Piping System Layout Pipe Sleeves at Penetrations 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.
INSTALLATION & LAYOUT BEST PRACTICES Refrigerant Piping System Layout Single Zone Cassette Outdoor Unit Connections 1. Remove the connection cover from the unit by loosening the screws. 2. Align the center of the refrigerant pipe and corresponding connection. 3. Place a couple of drops of refrigerant oil on the opening rim of the flare before assembling. Ensure you do not add any contaminants. Tighten the flare nut initially by hand. 4.
INSTALLATION & LAYOUT BEST PRACTICES Refrigerant Piping System Layout Brazing Practices Four-Way Ceiling Cassette System Engineering Manual It is imperative to keep the piping system free of contaminants and debris such as copper burrs, slag, or carbon dust during installation. All joints are brazed in the field. Single Zone Cassette refrigeration system Figure 62: Refrigerant Pipe Brazing.
INSTALLATION & LAYOUT BEST PRACTICES 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. The design engineer should perform calculations to determine if the factory-supplied insulation jackets are sufficient to meet local codes and avoid sweating.
CONDENSATE DRAIN PIPING 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.
