• Total amount of refrigerant in the system must be less then 100kg. If total amount of refrigerant in the system is
over 100kg, the system has to be divided into smaller system, each containing less than 100kg.
Simultaneous heating and cooling- Additional refrigerant
Additional refrigerant charging
■
Additional refrigerant is charged according to the length and size of liquid pipe.

Charge the additional refrigerant according to the indoor unit
capacity. The amount of the additional refrigerant charging for each
indoor unit capacity = 0.046kg/kW
The method to calculate the total amount of the refrigerant.
- The amount of the refrigerant according to the pipe size and length (

)
- The amount of additional refrigerant charging for each indoor unit (
ⓑ
) =
∑
(Indoor unit capacity) x 0.046
- The amount of other additional refrigerant charging (

∑
(The number
of MCU Kit installed) x 0.5

Total refrigerant amount of the system must be less than 100kg.
If total refrigerant amount of system is over 100kg, the system has to be
divided into smaller system, each containing less than 100kg.
ex) 20HP outdoor refrigerant is already charged 8.5kg, so the additional
refrigerant must not be over 91.5kg.
