W0 is the outdoor unit refrigerant charge prior to shipment.
If there is a combination of base units, calculate the total refrigerant charge prior to shipment of those combined
outdoor units.
(2) Record of Additional Charge
Total refrigerant charge of this system is calculated in the following formula.
Total Ref. Charge = WT lbs (kg) + W0 lbs (kg) =
lbs (
kg)
When refrigerant is recovered or charged due to repairs, operating, or adjusting the unit, record the
refrigerant quantity again.
NOTICE
1.
Emissions of the fluorocarbons without any reason are prohibited
.
2.
For disposal and maintenance of this product, recovery of fluorocarbons is required.
● Special Attention Regarding Refrigerant Gas Leakage
Make sure that the entire VRF system meets ASHRAE Standard 15, or any local codes, regarding Safety.
The ASHRAE Standard 15-2013 provides safeguards for life, limb, health, property, and prescribes safety
requirements.
The standard is recognized as the main guide for personal safety involving refrigeration systems. It strives
to ensure a safe application of refrigerant systems by limiting the maximum charge as follows so that
a complete discharge due to a leak into a small, occupied, and enclosed room can never exceed the
allowable limit for the room.
