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

Caution For Refrigerant Leak
Introduction
Checking procedure of limiting concentration
Limiting concentration is the limit of Freon gas concentration where immediate measures can be taken with-
out hurting human body when refrigerant leaks in the air. The limiting concentration shall be described in the
unit of lb/ft

(Freon gas weight per unit air volume) for facilitating calculation.
Limiting concentration: 0.028 lb/ft
