LINE SET REFRIGERANT(CHARGE) ADJUSTMENT AND RELEASE OF CHARGE
Condensing units are factory-charged with enough refrigerant for typical evaporator coil sizes and 25 feet of line
set tubing. Refer to Table 4 for proper refrigerant adjustment.
If line set is different from 25 feet, adjust charge as follows:
Example 1: 40 feet line set, 3/8" Liquid Line, 3/4", Vapor Line
40 ft - 25 ft = 15 ft x .58 oz/ft = 9 ounces of additional charge
Example 2: 15 feet line set, 3/8" Liquid Line, 7/8" Vapor Line
15 ft - 25 ft = -10 ft x .58 oz/ft = 6 ounces of charge to takeout
If additional charge is needed, add charge to line set prior to releasing charge.
If charge needs to be reduced, recover charge during final charge adjustment.
Factory Charge Release
With gauge set valves closed, open both service valves.
