The total length of each liquid line is as follows;
W9.52 [3/8"] :
A + B + C + a = 10 m + 10 m + 10 m + 15 m = 45 m [33 ft + 33 ft + 33 ft + 49 ft = 148 ft]
W6.35 [1/4"] : b + c + d = 10 m +10 m + 20 m = 40 m [33 ft + 33 ft + 66 ft = 132 ft]

At the

below:
W9.52 [3/8]
W19.05 [3/4]
The total capacity of connected indoor units is as follows:
24 + 15 + 08 + 06 = 53
Therefore, the additional refrigerant
charge is as follows = 45 m × 0.07 kg + 40 m × 0.027 kg + 2.5 kg = 6.8 kg (rounded up)
= [147 ft × 0.047 lbs + 132 ft × 0.018 lbs + 5.5 lbs = 14.8 lbs]

■ Additional refrigerant charge
■ Calculation of additional refrigerant charge
Refrigerant for the extended piping is not
included in the outdoor unit when the unit is
shipped from the factory.
Therefore, charge each refrigerant piping
system with additional refrigerant at the
installation site. In addition, in order to carry out
service, enter the size and length of each liquid
pipe and additional refrigerant charge amounts
in the spaces provided on the “Refrigerant
amount” plate on the outdoor unit.
• Calculate the additional charge using the
liquid pipe size and length of the extended
piping.
• Calculate the additional refrigerant charge
using the procedure shown to the right, and
charge with the additional refrigerant.
• For amounts less than 0.1 kg, round up the
calculated additional refrigerant charge.
(For example, if the calculated charge is
32.92 kg, round up the charge to 33.0 kg.)
