Charging With Refrigerant
• At the time of shipment from the factory, this unit is charged with enough refrigerant for an equivalent pipe length of 30m. If the
equivalent pipe length used will be 30m or less, no additional charging will be necessary.
• If the equivalent pipe length will be between 30 and 50m, charge with additional refrigerant according to the equivalent length

• Pump down operation
• Operate the pump down according to the following procedures.
Flare nut fastening torque N•m {kgf•cm}

Use a material with good heat-resistant
properties as the heat insulation for the pipes.
Be sure to insulate both the gas-side and
liquid-side pipes. If the pipes are not
adequately insulated, condensation or water
leakages may occur. Liquid-side pipes Material that can
withstand 120
