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
1-7 and the size and length of the liquid tubing.
Amount of additional refrigerant charge (g)
GR
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)
ES
(Use with the current refrigerant charge.)
(a) Actual length (m) of main tubing (ø9.52)
(b) Total length of distribution tubing (ø9.52)
(c) Total length of distribution tubing (ø6.35)
Example
●
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 1-7.
L : ø9.52 (48 type)
L1 : ø9.52 (Total type capacity of indoor unit 24)
L2 : ø9.52 (Total type capacity of indoor unit 24)
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 →
4 : (5 + 5 + 5 + 10) m × 20 g / m = 500

Outdoor unit charge-less refrigerant amount
●
The amount of additional on-site refrigerant charge is 1,300 g.
Note: For type 18, the additional refrigerant charge for tubing length (d) of 30 to 40 m is the following:
Additional refrigerant amount (g) = 20X (d) – 600
