Then
(L1+L2+L3+L4+L5+L6+L7)≤
chargeless length
Chargeless length=
▪ 10 m (size‑down)
▪ 40 m (standard)
▪ 15 m (size‑up)
You do not have to add
additional refrigerant.
(L1+L2+L3+L4+L5+L6+L7)>
chargeless length
You must add additional
refrigerant.
For future servicing, encircle the
selected amount in the tables
below.

L1=45 m (Ø9.5 mm)
RZAG100
Case: Twin, standard liquid pipe size
1 G1 Total Ø9.5
=> G1=45 m
G2 Total Ø6.4 => G2=7+5=12 m
2 Case: G1>40 m
R1 Length=G1−40 m=5 m
=> R1=0.35 kg
R2 Length=G2=12 m
=> R2=0.4 kg

RZAG125
Case: Triple, standard liquid pipe size
1 G1 Total Ø9.5 => G1=15 m
G2 Total Ø6.4 => G2=20+17+17=54 m

R1 R1=0.0 kg
R2 Length=G1+G2−40 m=15+54−40=2
