At the
conditions
below:
At the time of shipping, the outdoor unit is charged with refrigerant.
This charge does not include the amount needed for extended piping and addi-
tional charging of each refrigerant line will be required on site. In order that future
servicing may be properly provided, always keep a record of the size and length of
each refrigerant line and the amount of additional charge by writing it in the space
provided on the outdoor unit.
10.1. Calculation of additional refrigerant
charge
•
Calculate the amount of additional charge based on the length of the piping
extension and the size of the refrigerant line.
•
Use the table below as a guide for calculating the amount of additional charg-
ing and then charge the system accordingly.
•
If the calculation results in a fraction of less than 0.1 kg [4 oz], round up to the
next 0.1 kg [4 oz]. For example, if the result of the calculation was 12.38 kg
[437 oz], round the result up to 12.4 kg [438 oz].

The total length of each liquid line is as follows:
ø12.7 mm [1/2 in]: A = 40 m [131 ft] = 40 m [131 ft]
ø9.52 mm [3/8 in]: B + C + D + a + b + e
= 10 m [32 ft] + 15 m [49 ft] + 10 m [32 ft] + 10 m [32 ft] +
5 m [16 ft] + 10 m [32 ft] = 60 m [193 ft]
ø6.35 mm [1/4 in]: c + d = 10 m [32 ft] + 10 m [32 ft] = 20 m [64 ft]
Therefore,
