EXAMPLE:

To calculate additional charge requried for a 25-ft line set:

25 ft - 15 ft = 10 ft X 0.6 oz/ft = 6 oz of additional charge.

B.

COOLING ONLY PROCEDURE

UNITS WITH COOLING MODE PURON® TXV

Units installed with cooling mode TXV require charging by the
subcooling method.

1. Operate unit a minimum of 10 minutes before checking

charge.

2. Measure liquid service valve pressure by attaching an

accurate gage to service port.

3. Measure liquid line temperature by attaching an accurate

thermistor type or electronic thermometer to liquid line near
outdoor coil.

4. Refer to unit rating plate for required subcooling tempera-

ture.

5. Refer to Table 3. Find the point where required subcooling

temperature intersects measured liquid service valve pres-
sure.

6. To obtain required subcooling temperature at a specific

liquid line pressure, add refrigerant if liquid line tempera-
ture is higher than indicated or reclaim refrigerant if
temperature is lower. Allow a tolerance of ± 3°F.

UNITS WITH INDOOR PISTONS

Units installed with indoor pistons require charging by the super-
heat method.

The following procedure is valid when indoor airflow is within ±
21 percent of its rated CFM.

1. Operate unit a minimum of 10 minutes before checking

charge.

2. Measure suction pressure by attaching an accurate gage to

suction valve service port.

3. Measure suction temperature by attaching an accurate

thermistor type or electronic thermometer to suction line at
service valve.

4. Measure outdoor air dry-bulb temperature with thermom-

eter.

5. Measure indoor air (entering indoor coil) wet-bulb tempera-

ture with a sling psychrometer.
