35) Technical Data When Replacing the Refrigerant System Parts
NOTE) Refer to the followings when you replace the refrigerant system parts.
Flare nuts tightening torque
Additional refilling amount of the refrigerant oil when repairing the refrigerant system
※1. When replacing the parts that do not contain the refrigerant oil inside such as discharge pipes, expansion
valves, or dryer filters
※2. When the compressor (including dryer filter) is replaced. (You must supply refrigerant oil into the compressor
unit separately. For details, refer to Refer to P116, [Replacing the Compressor])
※3. If the other parts are replaced together, total of refilling amount required for each replaced part must be added.
Standard amount of refrigerant

(Calcuate using the formula indicated below)
NOTE) When more than one indoor unit is connected, add 2.2 lbs (1 kg) more refrigerant to the above-mentioned
formula.
