LG Multi F and Multi F MAX outdoor units ship from the factory with a charge of
R410A refrigerant. A trim charge may need to be added to take into account
additional piping length.
To determine the additional refrigerant that is needed, apply the formulas below,
and record the results. If the total additional refrigerant charge value is a negative
number, then an additional trim charge does not need to be added to the system.
