Additional refrigerant charge
When using FXTQ indoor units, additional refrigerant needs to be
charged to the system.
Total system refrigerant charge = Z = O+R+P
O Standard factory charge of outdoor unit
R Additional refrigerant charge according to liquid piping
diameter/length and outdoor unit specific amount. See
"5.6.3To determine the additional refrigerant amount"on
page17.
P Additional refrigerant charge due to use of FXTQ indoor
units. P=ΣT

T Additional charge for each indoor unit used (depending on
type)

4.2.5 Multiple outdoor units: Possible layouts
▪ The piping between the outdoor units must be routed level or
slightly upward to avoid the risk of oil retention into the piping.
Pattern 1 Pattern 2

b Piping between outdoor units
X Not allowed
O Allowed
▪ To avoid the risk of oil retention to the outmost outdoor unit,
always connect the stop valve and the piping between outdoor
units as shown in the 4 correct possibilities of the figure below.
a To indoor unit
b Oil collects to the outmost outdoor unit when the system
stops
X Not allowed
O Allowed
▪ If the piping length between the outdoor units exceeds 2m, create
a rise of 200mm or more in the gas line within a length of 2m
from the kit.
