About Airflow Requirements; About Measuring The Airflow Rate; Prerequisite Checklist - Daikin VRV 5 BS4A14AJV1B Installation And Operation Manual

NOTICE
It is very important that all refrigerant piping work is done
before the units (outdoor, BS or indoor) are powered on.
When the units are powered on, the expansion valves will
initialise. This means that the valves will close.
If any part of the system has already been powered on,
setting [2-21] on the outdoor unit has to be activated to
open the expansion valves.

About airflow requirements

When a ventilated enclosure is required, the following requirements
apply:
▪ pressure inside the BS unit has to be more than 20 Pa below the
ambient pressure,
▪ minimum airflow rate:
Model Minimum airflow rate [m³/h]
BS4A 90
BS6~8A 87
BS10~12A 77
Example
A BS12A unit with an airflow rate during the test run of 115 m³/h.
The pressure drop graph shows that this results in an internal
pressure which is 42.9 Pa below the ambient pressure. Both
requirements are met if:
▪ The pressure inside the BS unit is more than 20 Pa below the
ambient pressure (42.9 Pa).
▪ The airflow rate is higher than 77 m³/h (115 m³/h).

About measuring the airflow rate

It is up to the installer to measure the airflow rate and provide correct
data. We advise two ways in the sections below, but the installer is
entirely free on how to perform the measurement.
About measuring with a vane anemometer
▪ Where: Measure the airflow rate at the air inlet (damper) of the BS
unit.
▪ Tip: Use the duct connection kit (EKBSDCK) and an anemometer
with a funnel to conduct the entire airflow through the
anemometer.
▪ Postrequisite: Remove the kit once the measurement is finished.

About measuring with a hot wire probe anemometer
▪ Attention: In case you need to drill holes in the ducting, choose a
location without thermal insulation.
▪ Where: Measure the airflow rate in the duct connected to the air
outlet of the BS unit.
▪ Postrequisite: Close the holes properly once the measurement is
finished.

Prerequisite checklist

Check the following items before starting the BS unit test run.
You read the complete installation and operation
instructions, as described in the installer and user
reference guide.
The BS unit is properly mounted.
The field wiring has been carried out according to the
instructions described in this document, according to the
wiring diagram and according to the applicable legislation.
Make sure drain piping is properly installed, insulated
and drainage flows smoothly. Check for water leaks.
Possible consequence: Condensate water might drip.
There are NO missing phases or reversed phases.
The system is properly earthed and the earth terminals
are tightened.
The fuses or locally installed protection devices are
installed according to this document, and have NOT been
bypassed.
The power supply voltage matches the voltage on the
identification label of the unit.
There are NO loose connections or damaged electrical
components in the switch box.
In case no safety measures are required, the following
measures are correctly applied:
▪ No safety measures are attached.
▪ The correct field settings are made.
