Units are factory charged for 15 ft (4.6 m) of 3/8” liquid line. The factory charge for 3/8” lineset 9 oz. When using other length or diameter liquid
lines, charge adjustments are required per the chart above.
Charging Formula:
[(Lineset oz/ft x total length) – (factory charge for lineset)] = charge adjustment
Example 1: System has 15 ft of line set using existing 1/4“ liquid line. What charge adjustment is required?
Formula: (.27 oz/ft x 15ft) – (9 oz) = (-4.95) oz.
Net result is to remove 4.95 oz of refrigerant from the system
Example 2: System has 45 ft of existing 5/16” liquid line. What is the charge adjustment?
Formula:. (40 oz/ft. x 45ft) – (9 oz.) = 9 oz.
Net result is to add 9 oz of refrigerant to the system
NOTE: Conditions must be favorable for charging by subcooling method. Indoor temperature must be 70°F to 80°F (21.1°C to 26.7°C), and outdoor
temperature must be 70°F to 100°F (21.1°C to 37.8°C). If outside these conditions, adjust charge for long line sets by weigh-in method.
LONG LINE APPLICATIONS
An application is considered Long Line, when the refrigerant level in the system requires the use of accessories to maintain acceptable refrigerant
management for systems reliability. See Accessory Usage Guideline table for required accessories. Defining a system as long line depends on the
liquid line diameter, actual length of the tubing, and vertical separation between the indoor and outdoor units.
For Air Conditioner systems, the chart below shows when an application is considered Long Line.
Note: See Residential Piping and Long Line Guideline for details
