If the unit is selected to operate at ambient temperatures
lower than –5°C for 5 days or longer, with relative humidity
levels exceeding 95%, we recommend to apply a Daikin
range specifically designed for such application and/or to
contact your dealer for further advice.

Securing safety against refrigerant leaks

About safety against refrigerant leaks
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.
This system uses R410A as refrigerant. R410A itself is an entirely
safe non-toxic, non-combustible refrigerant. Nevertheless care must
be taken to ensure that air conditioning facilities are installed in a
room which is sufficiently large. This assures that the maximum
concentration level of refrigerant gas is not exceeded, in the unlikely
event of major leak in the system and this in accordance to the local
applicable regulations and standards.
About the maximum concentration level
The maximum charge of refrigerant and the calculation of the
maximum concentration of refrigerant is directly related to the
humanly occupied space in to which it could leak.
The unit of measurement of the concentration is kg/m
3
kg of the refrigerant gas in 1 m volume of the occupied space).
Compliance to the local applicable regulations and standards for the
maximum allowable concentration level is required.
According to the appropriate European Standard, the maximum
allowed concentration level of refrigerant to a humanly space for
3
R410A is limited to 0.44 kg/m .

the refrigerant from the system)
Pay special attention to places, such as basements etc., where
refrigerant can stay, since refrigerant is heavier than air.
To check the maximum concentration level
Check the maximum concentration level in accordance with steps 1
to 4 below and take whatever action is necessary to comply.
1 Calculate the amount of refrigerant (kg) charged to each system
separately.
Formula A+B=C
A Amount of refrigerant in a single unit system
(amount of refrigerant with which the system
is charged before leaving the factory)
B Additional charging amount (amount of
refrigerant added locally in accordance with
the length or diameter of the refrigerant
piping)
C Total amount of refrigerant (kg) in the
system
NOTICE
Where a single refrigerant facility is divided into 2 entirely
independent refrigerant systems, use the amount of
refrigerant with which each separate system is charged.
2 Calculate the volume of the room (m
installed. In a case such as the following, calculate the volume
of (D), (E) as a single room or as the smallest room.
D Where there are no smaller room divisions:
E Where there is a room division, but there is an opening
between the rooms sufficiently large to permit a free
flow of air back and forth.

b Partition (Where there is an opening without a door
or where there are openings above and below the door
which are each equivalent in size to 0.15% or more of
the floor area.)
