Refrigerant Charge per Line Set Length
NOTE The above nameplate is for illustration purposes only. Go to actual nameplate on outdoor unit
for charge information.
CHARGING METHOD
NOTE Insulate liquid line when it is routed through areas where the surrounding ambient
temperature could become higher than the temperature of the liquid line or when pressure drop is equal
to or greater than 20 psig.
CALCULATING SYSTEM CHARGE FOR OUTDOOR UNIT VOID OF CHARGE
If the system is void of refrigerant, first, locate and repair any leaks and then weigh in the refrigerant charge into the
unit. To calculate the total refrigerant charge:
