CAUTION:
•The Standard pipe length is 7.5 m and no need to additional charge of the refrigerant to max 15 m. If the pipe length exceeds 15 m, need to additional charge of the refrigerant which according to the table.
•If 55 kBtu/h Model is installed at a distance of 50m, 2,100g of refrigerant should be added (50-15) x 60g = 2,100g
•Capacity is based on standard length and maximun allowance length is on the basis of reliability.
•Improper refrigerant charge may result in abnormal cycle.
•Oil trap should be installed every 5~7 meters.
