2-5. ADDITIONAL CHARGE CALCULATION
● The outdoor unit is charged refrigerant at the factory.
● Additional refrigerant required to be charged on site depending on pipe length.
● The additional refrigerant charge amount is calculated according to the following formula.
● Round up the calculated result to two decimal places.

Note : Check the total refrigerant amount under the following conditions.
Condition Computational formula
Total amount of refrigerant ≤ 34.61 lbs. (15.70kg) C ≤ 34.61 lbs. (15.70kg)
When total refrigerant amount exceed limitation.
● Reduce pipe length for refrigerant system.
● Change the refrigerant system configuration.
