3.11 Charging Refrigerant
3.11.1 Calculang addional refrigerant charge
Calculate the added refrigerant according to the diameter and the length of the liquid side pipe of the outdoor unit/indoor unit
connecon. If the length of the liquid side pipe is less than 15 meters it is no need to add more refrigerant, so calculang the
added refrigerant the length of the liquid side pipe must subtract 15 meters.
3.11.2 Adding refrigerant
Notes for installers
Cauon
Only charge refrigerant aer performing a gas ghtness test and vacuum drying.
Never charge more refrigerant than required as doing so can lead to liquid hammering.
Only use refrigerant R32 - charging with an unsuitable substance may cause explosions or accidents.
Use tools and equipment designed for use with R32 to ensure required pressure resistance and to prevent foreign materials
from entering the system.
Refrigerant must be treated in accordance with applicable legislaon.
Always use protecve gloves and protect your eyes when charging refrigerant.
Open refrigerant containers slowly.
Keep the site well venlated, no ignion source and re exnguisher in hand for R32 is a ammable refrigerant.
Procedure
The procedure for adding refrigerant is as follows:
Step 1
Calculate addional refrigerant charge R (kg) (see Part 3, 3.11.1 “Calculang Addional Refrigerant Charge”)
Step 2
Place a tank of R32 refrigerant on a weighing scale. Turn the tank upside down to ensure refrigerant is charged in a liquid
state.
Aer vacuum drying (see Part 3, 3.10 Vacuum Drying”), the blue and red pressure gauge hoses should sll be connected
to the pressure gauge and to the outdoor unit stop valves.
Connect the yellow hose from the pressure gauge to the R32 refrigerant tank.
Step 3
Open the valve where the yellow hose meets the pressure gauge, and open the refrigerant tank slightly to let the refrigerant
eliminate the air. Cauon: open the tank slowly to avoid freezing your hand.
Set the weighing scale to zero.
