8.6 To charge additional refrigerant
WARNING
▪
Only use R32 as refrigerant. Other substances may cause explosions and
accidents.
▪
R32 contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Its global warming potential (GWP)
value is 675. Do NOT vent these gases into the atmosphere.
▪
When charging refrigerant, ALWAYS use protective gloves and safety glasses.
CAUTION
To avoid compressor breakdown, do NOT charge more than the specified amount of
refrigerant.
Prerequisite:
Before charging refrigerant, make sure the refrigerant piping is
connected and checked (leak test and vacuum drying).
1
Connect the refrigerant cylinder to the service port.
2
Charge the additional refrigerant amount.
3
Open the gas stop valve.

NOTICE
Applicable legislation on
fluorinated greenhouse gases
requires that the refrigerant
charge of the unit is indicated both in weight and CO
2
equivalent.
Formula to calculate the quantity in CO
2
equivalent tonnes:
GWP value of the
refrigerant × total refrigerant charge [in kg] / 1000
Use the GWP value mentioned on the refrigerant charge label.
2
Fix the label on the inside of the outdoor unit near the gas and liquid stop
valves.
