Refrigerant Charge Amount - Panasonic R410A: 5/16 Installation Instructions Manual

● Obtain liquid tubing size from Tables 1-3, 4, 5, 7 and 10-1.
Main tubing
LA = ø5/8 (ft.) (Total capacity of indoor unit is 179,400 BTU/h)
LB = ø1/2 (ft.) (Total capacity of indoor unit is 131,600 BTU/h)
LC = ø3/8 (ft.) (Total capacity of indoor unit is 83,800 BTU/h)
Distribution joint tubing
Outdoor side A: ø3/8 (ft.)
Indoor side 1: ø3/8 (ft.)
● Obtain additional charge amount for each tubing size.
Note 1: The charge amounts per 1 ft. are different for each liquid tubing size.
ø5/8 (ft.) → LA
ø1/2 (ft.) → LB
ø3/8 (ft.) → LC +
A – B +
Additional refrigerant charge amount is 418 oz.
Note 2: Necessary amount of additional refrigerant charge per outdoor unit (U-96ME1U9) is 42 oz. (See the Table 1-10-2.)
Note 1) Amount of additional charge per tubing length
Note 2) Amount of additional charge for outdoor unit
Total of additional refrigerant charge amount
Therefore, the total of additional refrigerant charge amount reaches 502 oz.
● Obtain overall refrigerant charge amount.
Overall refrigerant charge amount of the system indicates the calculated value shown above the additional charge amount
in addition to the total of the refrigerant charge amount (shown in the Table 1-6) at the shipment of each outdoor unit.
Refrigerant charge amount at shipment:
Additional charge amount
Therefore, overall refrigerant charge amount of the system reaches 1334 oz.
Remark:
Be sure to include the values in Table 1-10-2 Necessary Amount of Additional Refrigerant Charge Per Outdoor Unit.
Be sure to check the limit density for the
