The piping design of an air conditioning system is a critical element in the proper performance of the system. It involves an extremely complex relationship in the flow of refrigerant oil through the various parts of the system. The factor that must be considered in a piping design are the inter-relationships between velocity, pressure, friction and density, as well as the related variables required for proper fluid flow. These variables and relationships can be expressed in long mathematical equations, performance charts, and pressure drop tables for fluid flow through the piping. The improper design and sizing of refrigerant piping in a sealed system may result in loss of system efficiency that could lead to a los of overall system capacity as well as eventual failure of components of the system.
