Charging additional refrigerant

The amount of additional refrigerant charging  =

The amount of refrigerant charging for pipe + 
the amount of refrigerant correction charging for an indoor unit .

1)  The amount of additional refrigerant depending on the pipe size .

 - Amount of additional refrigerant has to be calculated based on the sum of all liquid pipe length .

Size of liquid pipe [mm(inch)]

6.35 (1/4)

9.52 (3/8)

12.7 (1/2)

15.88 (5/8)

Additional amount [kg/m (lb/ft)]

0 .02 (0 .013)

0 .06 (0 .040)

0 .125 (0 .084)

0 .18 (0 .121)

Additional refrigerant charging calculation =  The sum of total length of Ø 9.52 liquid pipe(m) x 60g + the sum of 

total length of Ø 6.35 liquid pipe(m) x 20g

Ex) a(Ø 9 .52)=40m(131 .23’), b+c+d(Ø 9 .52)=15m(49 .21’), e+f+g(Ø 6 .35)=15m(49 .21’)
The amount of additional refrigerant = 55m(180 .45’) x 60g + 15m(49 .21’) x 20g = 3600g

2)  The amount of additional refrigerant for each indoor unit
