Dual-Circuit Condensing Units:
Evaporator Coil with Two
Distributors (see Figure 38)
1 Pitch the liquid lines slightly—1
inch/10 feet [1 cm/3 m]—so the
refrigerant drains toward the
evaporator.
2 Provide one expansion valve per
distributor.
3 Slightly pitch the outlet line from
the suction header toward the
suction riser—that is, 1 inch/
10 feet [1 cm/3 m] in the direction
of flow. Use the tube diameter
that matches the suction-header
connection.

4 The top of the Circuit 1 suction
riser must be higher than the
bottom evaporator coil. Use the
tube diameter recommended by
the condensing unit
manufacturer for the riser.
5 Arrange the suction line so the
refrigerant gas leaving the coil
flows downward, past the lowest
suction-header outlet, before
turning upward.
6 The top of the Circuit 2 suction
riser must be higher than the top
evaporator coil. Use the tube
diameter recommended by the
condensing unit manufacturer
for the riser.
7 Pitch the suction lines slightly—
1 inch/10 feet [1 cm/3 m]—so the
refrigerant drains toward the
evaporator.
8 Insulate the suction lines.
