Re: question i cant find an answer to
From what refrigerant to what refrigerant are you retro fitting? If you are retrofitting a R12 to 414b it would take 80% of charge, if its a 134a to 414b it would be 90% of charge.. But, yes typicly, it will be less depending on the replacment refrigerents makeup and temp glide. You can refer to the new refigerents TP chart and compare it to the old refigerent and see the pressure difference and calculate the charge difference knowing the volume of refigerent needed to acheive a certain pressure at a given temperature.

Re: question i cant find an answer to
is there any chance you could do a demo to show us how to calculate the charge using the tp chart. say like r22 to r407c

Re: question i cant find an answer to
Why do that? you need to spend a load of money on oil changes.
drop in some r417a for DX or r422d for water chillers.
