5.3. Additional refrigerant charge

Additional refrigerant charge
Refrigerant for the extended piping is not included in the outdoor unit when the unit is
shipped from the factory. Therefore, charge each refrigerant piping system with addi-
tional refrigerant at the installation site. In addition, in order to carry out service, enter
the size and length of each liquid pipe and additional refrigerant charge amounts in
the spaces provided on the "Refrigerant amount" plate on the outdoor unit.

The total length of each liquid line is as follows:
ø9.52 : A + a = 30 + 15 = 45 m (148 ft)
ø6.35 : b + c + d = 10 + 10 + 20 = 40 m (131 ft)
The total capacity of connected indoor unit is as follows:

The piping connection size differs according to
the type and capacity of indoor units. Match the
piping connection size of branch box with indoor
unit.
If the piping connection size of branch box does
not match the piping connection size of indoor
unit, use optional different-diameter (deformed)
joints to the branch box side. (Connect deformed
joint directly to the branch box side.)
