9.5.3 Countermeasure for R410A refrigerant leakage

The room should have the following characteristics in case of a leak of refrigerant:
1 Opening without shutter to permit the circulation of fresh air in the room.
2 Opening without door measuring 0.15%, or greater, of the floor surface.
3 There must be a ventilator fan connected to a gas leak detector, with a ventilator capacity of 0.92 m3/min or greater.
!
D A N G E R
Special attention should be given to areas where the refrigerant may be deposited and stay in the room, such as basements or
similar, as it is heavier than air.
