7.7.3 To determine the additional refrigerant amount
WARNING
If the total refrigerant charge in the system is ≥1.84 kg (i.e. if the piping length is
≥27 m), you need to comply with the minimum floor area requirements for the
indoor unit. For more information, see "6.2.3 Installation site requirements of the
indoor unit"[452].
If the total liquid piping
length is…
Then…
≤10m Do NOT add additional refrigerant.
>10m R=(total length (m) of liquid piping–10m)×0.020
R=Additional charge (kg) (rounded in units of
0.01kg)
INFORMATION
Piping length is the one-way length of liquid piping.
7.7.4 To determine the complete recharge amount
INFORMATION
If a complete recharge is necessary, the total refrigerant charge is: the factory
refrigerant charge (see unit name plate) + the determined additional amount.
7.7.5 To charge additional refrigerant
WARNING
▪ Only use R32 as refrigerant. Other substances may cause explosions and
accidents.
▪ R32 contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Its global warming potential (GWP)
value is 675. Do NOT vent these gases into the atmosphere.
▪ When charging refrigerant, ALWAYS use protective gloves and safety glasses.
CAUTION
To avoid compressor breakdown, do NOT charge more than the specified amount of
refrigerant.
Prerequisite: Before charging refrigerant, make sure the refrigerant piping is
connected and checked (leak test and vacuum drying).
1 Connect the refrigerant cylinder to the service port.
2 Charge the additional refrigerant amount.
3 Open the gas stop valve.
If pump down is needed in case of dismantling or relocating the system, see
"13.2To pump down"[4208] for more details.
7.7.6 To fix the fluorinated greenhouse gases label
