(4) Refrigerant charging calculation (R2 system)
Sample connection (with 3 BC controller and 6 indoor units) (PURY-P700YSJM-A)
Amount of additional refrigerant to be charged
Refrigerant for extended pipes (field piping) is not factory-charged to the outdoor unit. Add an appropriate amount of refrigerant for each pipes on site.
Record the size of each high pressure pipe and liquid pipe, and the amout of refrigerant that was charged on the outdoor unit for future reference.
Calculating the amount of additional refrigerant to be charged
The amount of refrigerant to be charged is calculated with the size of the on-site-installed hige pressure pipes and liquid pipes, and their length.
Calculate the amount of refrigerant to be charged according to the formula below.
Round up the calculation result to the nearest 0.1kg. (i.e., 16.08 kg = 16.1 kg)

The total length of each liquid line is as follows:
ø28.58: A = 40 m
ø22.2: F = 3 m
ø19.05: G = 1 m
ø12.70: C = 20 m
ø9.52: B + D + E + b + e + f = 35 m
ø6.35: a + c + d = 25 m
Therefore,
<Calculation example>
