To charge refrigerant
To speed up the refrigerant charging process, it is in case of larger
systems recommended to first pre-charge a portion of refrigerant
through the liquid line before proceeding with the manual charging. It
can be skipped, but charging will take longer then.
Pre-charging refrigerant
1
Calculate the additional amount of refrigerant to be added using
the formula mentioned in
"16.3 To determine the additional
Note:
The first 10 kg of additional refrigerant can be pre-charged
without outdoor unit operation.
Note:
Pre-charging can be done without compressor operation
Prerequisite:
Make sure that all outdoor unit stop valves and
manifold valve A are closed. Disconnect the manifold from the gas
lines.
2
Connect the manifold valve B to the service port of the liquid
stop valve.
3
Pre‑charge refrigerant until the determined additional refrigerant
amount is reached or pre‑charging is not possible anymore.
