2 The outdoor unit's external refrigerant piping is checked (leak test, vacuum
drying).
3 Vacuum drying on the outdoor unit's internal refrigerant piping is performed.
NOTICE
Before completely recharging, perform vacuum drying on the outdoor unit's internal
refrigerant piping as well.
Typical workflow – Completely recharging refrigerant typically consists of the
following stages:
1 Determining how much refrigerant to charge.
2 Charging refrigerant.

7.7.2 Precautions when charging refrigerant
INFORMATION
Also read the precautions and requirements in the following chapters:
▪ General safety precautions
▪ Preparation
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"[451].
If the total liquid piping
length is…
Then…
≤10m Do NOT add additional refrigerant.
>10m R=(total length (m) of liquid piping⁠–⁠10m)×0.020
R=Additional charge (kg) (rounded in units of
0.01kg)
INFORMATION
Piping length is the one-way length of liquid piping.
