Liquid tube
Amount of additional charge per 1 m
Charge with the amount of additional refrigerant calculated using the formula below, based on the values in Table 1-3 and the
size and length of the liquid tubing.
Amount of additional refrigerant charge (g)
Do not remove refrigerant from the system, even if the result of the calculation is negative.
Additional refrigerant amount (g) = Additional refrigerant for main tubing (g) + Additional refrigerant for distribution tubing (g)
Additional refrigerant amount (g) = Additional refrigerant for main tubing (g) + Additional refrigerant for distribution tubing (g)
(Use with the current refrigerant charge.)
(a) Actual length (m) of main tubing (ø9.52)
Actual length (m) of main tubing (ø12.7)
(b) Total length of distribution tubing (ø9.52)
(c) Total length of distribution tubing (ø6.35)
Example: 70 Type
Sample tubing lengths
L = 35 m 1 = 5 m
L1 = 10 m 2 = 5 m
L2 = 5 m 3 = 5 m
4 = 10 m
Find the liquid tube size from Table 1-3.
L : ø9.52 (70 type)
L1 : ø9.52 (Total type capacity of indoor unit 36)
L2 : ø9.52 (Total type capacity of indoor unit 36)
1 – 4 : ø6.35
The amount of additional on-site refrigerant charge is found
by subtracting the outdoor unit charge-less refrigerant amount
from the total charge amount for all tube sizes.
ø9.52 L : 35 m
ø9.52 L1 + L2 : (10 + 5) m
ø6.35 1 – 4 : (5 + 5 + 5 + 10) m × 20 g / m =
Outdoor unit charge-less refrigerant amount
The amount of additional on-site refrigerant charge is 1,300 g.

– Outdoor unit charge-less refrigerant amount (g)
= 40X (a) + 40X (b) + 20X (c) – 1200 (70 type)
– Outdoor unit charge-less refrigerant amount (g)
= 80X (a) + 40X (b) + 20X (c) – 2400 (90 type)
Refrigerant charge per 1 m of actual length = 40 g/m
Refrigerant charge per 1 m of actual length = 80 g/m
Refrigerant charge per 1 m of actual length = 40 g/m
Refrigerant charge per 1 m of actual length = 20 g/m
× 40 g / m = 1400
× 40 g / m = 600
