Refrigerant additional charge calculation method
Additional charge (g) = [(L1 + L2 + L3) - A] x a + [(L4 + L5 + … + L10) – (B x CF1)] x b – (CF2 x 100)
L1~L3 (m) : Installed Main Piping Length (Outdoor Unit ~ BD Unit)
L4~L10 (m) : Installed Branch Piping Length (BD Unit ~ Indoor Unit)
A (m) : Charge-less Main piping length (Outdoor Unit ~ Indoor Unit)
B (m) : Charge-less Branch piping length (BD Unit ~ Indoor Unit)
a (g/m) : Additional charging volume for Main Pipe (Outdoor Unit ~ BD Unit)
b (g/m) : Additional charging volume for Branch Pipe (BD Unit ~ Indoor Unit)
CF1 : Total number of connected indoor unit ÷ Max. number of connectable indoor unit
CF2 : Max. number of connectable indoor unit – Total number of connected indoor unit
* Refer to the specifications for detail information of A, B, a, b.
* If total additional charge value after calculation comes out to be negative, then do not consider additional charge.
CAUTION
• Capacity is based on standard length and maximum allowance length is on the basis of reliability.
• Improper refrigerant charge may result in abnormal cycle.
