Select the size from the table to the right.
Additional refrigerant charge
• Refrigerant of 3kg equivalent to 50-m total
extended piping length (model 125) or 2.4kg
equivalent to 40-m (model 71) is already in-
cluded when the outdoor unit is shipped.
Thus, if the total extended piping length is
50m or less (model 125) or 40m or less
(model 71), there is no need to charge with
additional refrigerant.
• If the total extended piping length exceeds
50m (model 125) or 40m (model 71), calcu-
late the required additional refrigerant charge
using the procedure shown on the right.
• If the calculated additional refrigerant charge
is a negative amount, do not charge with any
refrigerant.

The total length of each liquid line is as follows
{9.52 : A + B + C = 10 + 10 +10 = 30m
{6.35 : a + b + c + d = 5 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 35m
Therefore,
