Refrigerant Piping Design - LG LS180HSV5 Engineering Manual

Device Connection Limitations
A single-zone system consists of one outdoor unit and one indoor
unit. One of the most critical elements of a single-zone system is
the refrigerant piping. If the connection piping is not within allowable
limits, there will be reliability, performance, noise, and vibration
issues. Table 29 below lists pipe length limits that must be followed
in the design of a Single Zone High Efficiency Wall Mount refrigerant
pipe system, and Table 30 includes additional refrigerant charge
necessary for longer piping lengths. Refer to the figure for maximum
length and elevation of piping.

• Capacity is based on standard length.
• Equivalent Pipe Length = Actual Pipe Length + Number of Bends x 0.3.
• Additional Refrigerant Charge Calculation : X (g) = [ (Refrigerant Pipe Length) - (No Charge Pipe Length) ] × (Additional Refrigerant).
• There is no need to add refrigerant if equivalent pipe is less than the "piping length with no additional refrigerant" in the table above.
