Note on Adding Refrigerant
Some systems require additional charging depending on pipe lengths. The
standard pipe length varies according to local regulations. For example, in
North America, the standard pipe length is 7.5m (25'). In other areas, the
standard pipe length is 5m (16'). The refrigerant should be charged from the
service port on the outdoor unit's low pressure valve. The additional refrigerant
to be charged can be calculated using the following formula:
