36 General Information
3.2.7 Additional Charge of Refrigerant at installation time
!
Operational steps
Important points
1. The results of all calculations must be recorded. (Make a list.)
2. The refrigerant will need to be additionally charged whenever the distance between the outdoor unit and
the most distant indoor unit is more than 10m.
3. The additional charging operation should be carried out by input of liquid from Service port at liquid stop
valve following completion of the vacuum drying operation.
4. When the additional charging operation cannot be satisfactorily completed use the action of the
compressor to complete the additional charging during the test run.

Charging
Instructions
HFC401A are Quasi-azeotropic* refrigerants. Therefore, these refrigerants must be charged in the liquid
state. When charging the refrigerant into equipment from the refrigerant cylinder, turn the refrigerant
cylinder upside down.
Important: Make sure that the refrigerant (liquid) is taken out from the bottom part of the refrigerant cylinder.
Do not take out the refrigerant (gas) at the upper part of the refrigerant cylinder for charging.
Caution
Since some refrigerant cylinders differ in the internal mechanism, it is necessary to examine the cylinder
carefully. (Some cylinders have a siphon tube to eliminate the need for turning it upside down.)
Siphon tube
Use the length of the piping to
calculate the amount of
refrigerant required
