Refrigerant Line Sizing

Units of Measurement: Evaporator Temp:
Refrigerant:
Refrigerant Line: Liquid Temp:
Refrigerant Line OD (in): Equivalent Length:
    Vertical Height:
    System Capacity:
       
 
       
Application Notes:
  • Liquid Line
    - < 1°F to 2°F, < 300 fpm
  • Suction Line
    - < 2°F, > 750 fpm (horizontal), > 1500 fpm (suction riser), < 4000 fpm
    - Pitched 1/2" per 100 ft. toward compressor (horizontal)

    - You only need to figure suction riser if compressor is above the evaporator
