3. Additional refrigerant charge

3.1. Calculation of 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 additional 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.
Calculation of additional refrigerant charge
• Calculate the additional charge using the liquid pipe size and length of the
extended piping and total capacity of connected indoor units.
• Calculate the additional refrigerant charge using the procedure shown to the
right, and charge with the additional refrigerant.
• For amounts less than 0.1 kg, round up the calculated additional refrigerant
charge.
(For example, if the calculated charge is 6.01 kg, round up the charge to
6.1 kg.)

4. Refrigerant collecting (Pump down)

Perform the following procedures to collect the refrigerant when moving the
indoor unit or the outdoor unit.
1 Turn off the circuit breaker.
2 Connect the low pressure side of the gauge manifold to the service port of
the gas side stop valve.
3 Close the liquid stop value.
4 Supply power (circuit breaker).
* Start-up of the indoor-outdoor communication takes about 3 minutes after
the power (circuit breaker) is turned on. Start the pump-down operation 3 to
4 minutes after the power (circuit breaker) is turned ON.
5 Perform the test run for cooling operation (SW3-1: ON and SW3-2: OFF).
The compressor (outdoor unit) and ventilators (indoor and outdoor units)
start operating and test run for cooling operation begins. After the cooling
operation has been carried out for approximately five minutes, set the
outdoor service switch SW2-4 (pump down switch) from OFF to ON.
* Do not continue to operate for a long time with the switch SW2-4 set to ON.
Make sure to switch it to OFF after pump down is completed.
* Only set the SW3-1 and SW3-2 to ON if the unit is stopped. However, even
if the unit is stopped and the SW3-1 and SW3-2 are set to ON less than

The total length of each liquid line is as follows:
ø9.52 : A + a = 30 + 15 = 45 m
ø6.35 : b + c + d + e = 10 + 10 + 20 + 10 = 50 m
The total capacity of connected indoor unit is as follows:

3 minutes after the compressor stops, the refrigerant collecting operation
cannot be performed. Wait until compressor has been stopped for 3
minutes and then set the SW3-1 and SW3-2 to ON again.
6 Fully close the gas stop valve when the pressure reading on the gauge
drops 0.05 - 0.00 MPa (approximately 0.5 - 0.0 kgf/cm
7 Stop the air conditioner operation (SW3-1: OFF and SW3-2: OFF). Set the
outdoor service switch SW2-4 from ON to OFF.
8 Turn off the power supply (circuit breaker).
* If too much refrigerant has been added to the air conditioner system, the
pressure may not drop to 0.5 kgf/cm
collecting device to collect all of the refrigerant in the system, and then
recharge the system with the correct amount of refrigerant after the indoor
and outdoor units have been relocated.
Warning:
When pumping down the refrigerant, stop the compressor before discon-
necting the refrigerant pipes. The compressor may burst and cause injury
if any foreign substance, such as air, enters the system.
