*: When the length of the pipe between outdoor unit and the first separation tube or header is
greater than 70 m, liquid pipe must be size up from 9.52 mm to 12.70 mm.
For details, refer to "Pipe size selection" on page 06-22.

• Calculation of additional charge refrigerant

length (kg/m)
Liquid pipe length (m)
Ø12.70 0.114 80
Ø9.52 0.058 20
Ø6.35 0.021 30
A = (0.114 kg × 80 m) + (0.058 kg × 20 m) + (0.021 kg × 30 m) = 10.91 (kg)
– Calculation of factory charge amount (B)

7.5
B = 7.5 kg
– Total refrigerant amount check (C)
C = A + B = 10.91 + 7.5 = 18.41 (kg) < 20.0 (kg) → OK
Check pipe length and height difference between the units by comparing with "Piping limitation" on
page 06-17.
