1-8. Additional Refrigerant Charge
Additional refrigerant charge amount is calculated below.
• Total tubing length ≤ 50 m
No additional charge will be necessary.
• Total tubing length > 50 m
Required amount of additional refrigerant charge = [ (Amount of additional refrigerant charge per meter of each size of liquid tube ×
its tube length) + (...) - 2,800 ]
In the case of the required amount of additional refrigerant charge < 0, the additional refrigerant charge should be 0
kg
.

* When bending the tubes, use a bending
radius that is at least 4 times the outer
diameter of the tubes.
In addition, take sufficient care to avoid
crushing or damaging the tubes when
bending them.
