lbs. per nominal ton and using a “liquid charging adapter” add the calculated system charge 

at  the condenser through the liquid line and discharge line with liquid  refrigerant. A “liquid charging 
adapter” is needed so liquid refrigerant doesn’t enter the compressor. At this point the receiver(s) are 
pre-charged.
