Selecting the refrigerant branch kit
Use the table to the right to make the selection based
on the model total of indoor units downstream from the
branch section or on the number of indoor units to be
connected on the header branch.
Select each section of refrigerant piping
(1) Section from outdoor unit to first
branch (C)
(2) Sections from branch to indoor
unit (a, b, c, d, e, f)
(3) Section from branch to branch
(D, E, F)
Select the size from the table to the right.
Additional refrigerant charge
The outdoor unit is charged with refrigerant at the time of
shipping according to the chart above. As this charge
does not include the amount needed for extended piping,
additional charging for each refrigerant line will be required
on site. In order that future servicing may be properly
provided, always keep a record of the size and length of
each refrigerant line and the amount of additional charge
by writing it in the space provided on the outdoor unit.
Calculation of additional refrigerant charge
• Calculate the amount of additional charge based on the length
of the piping extension and the size of the refrigerant line.
• Use the table to the right as guide to calculating the amount
of additional charging and charge the system according.
• If the calculation results in a fraction of less than 0.1
kg, round up to the next 0.1 kg. For example, if the
result of the calculation was 20.03 kg, round the re-
sult up to 20.1 kg.
• If the total amount of refrigerant including the amount
of refrigerant sealed in the outdoor unit when shipped
from the factor plus additional refrigerant for exten-
sion piping exceeds 73 kg, use 73 kg as the total
amount of refrigerant.
Amount of refrigerant when shipped from factory +
added refrigerant 73 kg
