An example
Refrigerant density:0.3(kg/m3)

Others

1.Calculation of refrigerant density

Calculation will be made according to the following methods:

1)Total refrigerant content of each system (kg) =content of 1 outdoor system + refilled refrigerant Content of 1 outdoor system:Factory filled refrigerant

Refilled refrigerant:Filled content during installation according to the diameter and length of the liquid piping.

2)Calculation of the minimum room space (m3).

3)Calculation of refrigerant density

Total refrigerant content

Minimum room space

2.Preventive measures against excess of critical value

1) Make ventilation holes

Ventilation holes should be built above and under the door.The area of each hole should not be smaller than 0.15% of the room space.Holes can be made directly in the wall.

2) Reduce the filling content of refrigerant

Filling content of refrigerant can be reduced by shortening the distance between the indoor and outdoor units.

By reducing the capacity of the outdoor unit.

When outdoor unit be made up of several units.the outdoor capacity of each system should reduce.So the refrigerant content of system reduce.

3) Install ventilation fans.

Users can install uninterrupted ventilation fans to keep the refrigerant density under the critical value. If uninterrupted ventilation is impossible,a combined fanning and alarming device should be installed in its stead (through which immediate ventilation is possible when leak occurs).

(See the figure below)
