    You got a head start, you are online.

    Do a web search for Panasonic in your neck of the woods then call them and ask if there is an installer they can recommend that is local to you.

    Sorry, but your question put the answer outside the scope of DIY.

    What is recommended in the Installation manual ? (the max distance should be mentioned there)

    I agree with Yuri.

    The installation manual describes the line set length limitations. I would recommend to be well under the line set limit because the system will lose capacity even with the proper additional refrigerant charge.

    So if the line set is nearing the system limitation, in your case, the 18k Btu may only have 88% of the capacity to offer.

    Also, do not try to improvise a solution without consulting the factory and obtaining written approval. Most inverter driven compressor systems don't take kindly to non-engineered solutions.

    Good luck and keep us posted.

    Increase with one step aspiration pipe diameter , make a very good isolation for liquid pipe , and put supplementary ***** inside , like in technical information ( around 200 grams ).
    Best regards .
