Note
The refrigerant charge amount ([mc]) must be calculated by the following formula:
[m ] = [1] + [2] = [1] + ([3] * ([4] – [5]))
c
where:
[1]: refrigerant charged at shipment
[2]: refrigerant charge amount in the field
[3]: additional charge per 1 m
1) If the total pipe length is within the maximum value of the charge-less pipe length, refrigerant charge in the field is unnecessary.
Calculating examples
Using the above formula, it is possible to calculate
a) the minimum floor area for a given refrigerant charge, or
b) the maximum refrigerant charge allowed for a given floor area.
