Note: All refrigerant pipes must be straight ACR to have 39 bar (565 psig) or above MWP. Equivalent length of 1/2 in OD discharge line pipe should be kept less than 18 m (60 ft). Total equivalent length of the discharge line should be less than 46 m (150 ft) to prevent excessive hot gas pressure drop which can increase the discharge pressure during hot summer days. To have 61 m (200 ft) total equivalent discharge pipe length the load must be reduced by 5%.

Total charge = Equipment charge + condenser summer charge + condenser flooded charge (for minimum possible ambient temperature) + liquid R410A in liquid pipe

Equipment charge: 1.6 kg (3.5 lb)
