Refrigerant Charge Requirements
Total R-407C refrigerant charge will be required only if units are evacuated during installation or
maintenance. For safe and effective operation, refer to pressures in 5.4.2 - Piping Connections and
Coolant Requirements.

Self-contained DX units, split-system evaporators and split-system condensing units are pre-charged with R-407C refrigerant.
Use
Table 11 to determine the charge contained in Liebert pre-charged R-407C line sets. Use Table 7 to determine the
charge to be added for field-fabricated refrigerant lines.
* For units with Hot Gas Reheat coil, add 18oz (0.51kg) refrigerant to listed values.
