(3) Use the results of calculations (1) and (2) to calculate the refrigerant concentration:
Total refrigerant in the refrigerating unit (O[lbs])
The smallest room in which an indoor
unit has been installed (K[ft³])
If the calculation results do not exceed the maximum concentration, perform the same calculations for the larger second and
third room, etc., until it has been determined that nowhere will the maximum concentration be exceeded.
