9-2. Additional refrigerant amount calculation method
(1) The amount of refrigerant filled in the outdoor when the product is
delivered (on the base of piping 30ft.)
(2) Additional amount of refrigerant as per the pipe diameter and length
(liquid pipe based)

✼ Example of additional refrigerant amount calculation (In case of 7.0HP)
●
Additional amount of refrigerant = additional amount of refrigerant as per the total pipe length
●
Arrangement: liquid pipe diameter -gas pipe diameter - pipe length
Additional amount of refrigerant =(ø1/2 liquid pipe lengthX1.3oz/ft.)+(ø3/8 liquid pipe lengthX0.9oz/ft.)+
(ø1/4 liquid pipe lengthX0.5oz/ft.)
=(60ft.X1.3oz/ft.)+(75ft.X0.9oz/ft.)+(75ft.X0.5oz/ft.)
=183oz-α
