If total tubing length becomes 30 to 50 m, charge additional refrigerant by 40 g/m.
*2
In case of single connection, limit of tubing length is 50 m.
In case of twin connection, limit of tubing length is 40 m.

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 1-10 and the size and
length of the liquid tubing.
Amount of additional refrigerant charge (g) (Twin, Triple, Double-Twin)
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)
*1
In case of twin connection, 25 type of outdoor unit is 400 g.
(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 1-10.
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 → 1 – 4
: (5 + 5 + 5 + 10) m × 20 g / m =
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
