3-5. Refrigerant charge
Calculation of amount of additional refrigerant charge
(1) Table 6 shows the refrigerant charge at factory shipping time. Additional refrigerant must be added ac-
cording to the size and length of the tubing (calculated from the size and diameter of the liquid tubing us-
ing the values in Table 5).

Required additional refrigerant charge (g) =
(A) = total length in meters of 19.05 mm diameter liquid tubing
(B) = total length in meters of 15.88 mm diameter liquid tubing
(C) = total length in meters of 12.7 mm diameter liquid tubing
(D) = total length in meters of 9.52 mm diameter liquid tubing
(E) = Unit additional charge amount (Table 7)
(2) Be careful to charge accurately according to refrigerant weight.
(3) Charging procedure
Evacuate the system, close the gauge manifold at the gas tube side to ensure that no refrigerant enters
the gas tube side, then charge the system with liquid refrigerant at the liquid tube side. While charging,
keep all valves fully closed.
The compressor can be damaged if liquid refrigerant is added at the gas tube side.
(4) If the system does not accept the predetermined quantity of refrigerant, fully open all valves and run the
system (either heating or cooling). While the system is running, gradually add refrigerant at the low pres-
sure side by slightly opening the valve on the cylinder just enough so that the liquid refrigerant is gasifi ed
as it is sucked into the system. (This step is normally only needed when commissioning the system.)
All outdoor unit valves should be fully open.
(5) When charging is completed, fully open all valves.
(6) Avoid liquid back-fl ow when charging with R410A refrigerant by adding small amounts at a time.
