    Pipe diameter selection problem



    Hi Guys, I have a problem with a VRF system - it's consisted of two 45kW outdoor units working in parallel. The calculation software says that the main pipes should be 38mm/22mm, but here in Bulgaria we don't have 38mm copper pipe! So the question is - should I use 35mm or 42mm pipe?! The pipe run will be 20m long, 15m in vertical and 5m horizontal. Thank you in advance for your help!

    design conditions requd :

    evaporating temp
    condensing temp
    refrigerant used
    capacity of each compressor

    BASED ON THE DATA THE PIPE SECTIONS CAN BE CALCULATED
