Additional refrigerant charge
Refrigerant for the extended piping is not included in the outdoor unit when the unit is shipped from the factory.
Therefore, charge each refrigerant piping system with additional refrigerant at the installation site. In addition, in order to carry out service,
enter the size and length of each liquid pipe and additional refrigerant charge amounts in the spaces provided on the "Refrigerant amount"
plate on the outdoor unit.
Calculation of additional refrigerant charge
• Calculate the additional charge using the liquid pipe size and length of the extended piping.
• Calculate the additional refrigerant charge using the procedure shown to the right, and charge with the additional refrigerant.
• For amounts less than 0.1 kg, round up the calculated additional refrigerant charge.
(For example, if the calculated charge is 10.92 kg, round up the charge to 11.0 kg.)
