• Refrigerant of 3kg equivalent to 50m total
extended piping length is already included
when the outdoor unit is shipped.
Thus, if the total extended piping length is
50m or less, there is no need to charge with
additional
refrigerant.
• If the total extended piping length exceeds
50m, calculate the required additional
refrigerant charge using the procedure shown
on the right.
• If the calculated additional refrigerant charge
is a negative amount, do not charge with any
refrigerant.

The total length of each liquid line is as follows;
W
9.52 : A + B + C + a = 10 + 20 +10 + 5 = 45m
W
6.35 : b + c + d + e = 10 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 25m
