For CHX03652 units
■ If the maximum tubing length (L1) exceeds 295 ft. (equivalent length), increase the tubing size of the main gas
tube (LM) by one rank.
* The size increase is applied to the gas tube only. In addition, for a 6 HP unit it is not necessary to increase the
tubing size.
■ Increasing the tubing size of the gas tubes can reduce the loss of capacity caused by longer tubing lengths.
Refer to Table 2-1 to increase the tubing size. However, the maximum allowable tubing length must not be
exceeded.
* The size increase is applied to the LM gas tube (main tube with the largest diameter) only, and is limited to the
cases shown in Table 2-1. In addition, the amount of additional refrigerant charge is determined from the liquid
tube size only.
* In case of 6PS, increasing the size of the gas tube is not possible.

* When increasing the size of the gas tubing (LM), multiply by the correction coefficient from Table 2-1 and calculate the
equivalent length for section LM.
Tubing equivalent length after size increase = Standard tubing equivalent length × Equivalent length correction coefficient

The upper limit for tubing size is ш3/4” (ш19.05). Tubing above that size cannot be
used.
