Additional oil and refrigerant charging
• If the length of the connecting pipe is increased by 10 m compared to the standard length,
add 5 ml of refrigeration oil for every 5 m of pipe added.
• Method for calculating the amount of additional refrigerant charge (liquid pipe): amount of
additional refrigerant charge = additional length of liquid pipe x additional amount of
refrigerant charge per metre.
