4. Installing the refrigerant piping
When length exceeds 70 m
When the total length of the piping exceeds 70 m, calculate the amount of additional charge based on the following requirements.
Note: If the calculation produces a negative number (i.e. a "minus" charge), of if calculation results in an amount that is less than the "Additional charage amount for 70 m",
perform the additional charge using the amount shown in "Additional charge amount for 70 m".
