Additional charging amount for Double twin type
Pre-charge length < L1 + L2 + L3 + L4 + L5 + L6 + L7
The additional charging amount will be calculated as follows.
• A: Piping length (m) of liquid pipe with outside diameter of 12.70 mm (1/2 in)
• B: Piping length (m) of liquid pipe with outside diameter of 9.52 mm (3/8 in)
• C: Piping length (m) of liquid pipe with outside diameter of 6.35 mm (1/4 in)
• Additional charging amount (g) = (A × 110) + (B × 50) + (C × 30) - 3,300
NOTE: Do not remove refrigerant, even if the additional amount calculated is negative.

9.52 20 B = 20
6.35 20 C = 20
Applying the formula,
(20 × 110) + (20 × 50) + (20 × 30) - 3,300 = 500
The additional charging amount is 500 g.
