230 (70) 270 (82)
A = (0.039 x 230) + (0.014 x 270) = 12.75 (lbs.)
[(0.058 x 70) + (0.021 x 82) = 5.79 (kg)]
2. Factory charged amount
Model
Factory charged
amount lbs. (kg)
Outdoor unit AOU60 11.7 (5.30)
B = 11.7 (lbs.)
[
5.30 (kg)]
3. Total refrigerant amount check
C = A + B = 12.75 + 11.7 = 24.45(lbs.) < 34.61 (lbs.) → OK
[5.79 + 5.30 = 11.09(kg) < 15.70 (kg) → OK]
Check pipe length and height dierence between units by comparing with items shown in "2-2.PIPING
LIMITATION".
