MINI REFRIGERANT CHARGE
General
Consider refrigerant safety in all designs. Refer to "ASHRAE
Standards Summary" on page 88 for information on how to
meet the requirements of ASHRAE Standard 15 and 34.
To properly charge a Multi V Mini system, it is imperative to know
the “as-built” physical length of each segment of the liquid line.
The installer must also have an accurate count of the types and
sizes of refrigerant pipe fittings used to build the system’s liquid
line.
1. Make a copy of Table 30.
2. Create an as-built drawing of the system’s liquid line or mark
up a tree mode piping diagram from LATS Multi V. Document
the linear feet of straight pipe and the quantity and type of
each fitting by pipe diameter.
3. Calculate the total linear feet of liquid line tubing in the system.
Record the values using lines 1–3 in Table 30.
4. Count the number of indoor units. Group them by model type
and
nominal
capacity.
5. Group indoor units by size as indicated in the description fields
on lines 4–28 of Table 30. Record the quantity of units in each
group on the appropriate lines.
6. If the outdoor unit is a
nominal
36k, record a negative 1.1 lbs
in the “Total” field on line 29.
Calculate the System Refrigerant Charge
7. Sum the Total column values on lines 1-31 and place in the
field labeled System Trim Charge.
8. If the value of the trim charge is positive, add refrigerant. If
negative, remove refrigerant.
9. Add the Outdoor Unit Factory Charge to the Trim Charge. This
is the System Charge. Record in the appropriate field.
