CAUTION FOR REFRIGERANT LEAK
The installer and system specialist shall secure safety against leakage according to local
regulations or standards.
The following standards may be applicable if local regulations are not available.

Introduction

Though the R410A refrigerant is harmless and incombustible itself , the room to equip the air
conditioner should be large to such an extent that the refrigerant gas will not exceed the limiting
concentration even if the refrigerant gas leaks in the room.
Limiting concentration
Limiting concentration is the limit of Freon gas concentration where immediate measures can
be taken without hurting human body when refrigerant leaks in the air. The limiting
concentration shall be described in the unit of kg/m
for facilitating calculation.

Checking procedure of limiting concentration

Check limiting concentration along following steps and take appropriate measure depending on
the situation.
Calculate amount of all the replenished refrigerant (kg) per each refrigerant system.
Amount of replenished
refrigerant per one outdoor
unit system
Amount of replenished
refrigerant at factory shipment
Calculate minimum room capacity
Calculate room capacity by regarding a portion as one room or the smaller room.
