I Additional refrigerant charge
• Refrigerant of 3 kg equivalent to 50-m total
extended piping length (model 125) or 2.4 kg
equivalent to 40-m (model 71) is already in-
cluded when the outdoor unit is shipped. Thus,
if the total extended piping length is 50 m or
less (model 125) or 40 m or less (model 71),
there is no need to charge with additional re-
frigerant.
• If the total extended piping length exceeds
50 m (model 125) or 40 m (model 71), calcu-
late 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
ø9.52 : A + B + C = 10 + 10 + 10 = 30 m
ø6.35 : a + b + c + d = 5 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 35 m
Therefore,
<Calculation example>
Additional
refrigerant charge = 30 × 0.06 + 35 × 0.024 – 2.4 = 0.3 kg (rounded up)
