CAUTION FOR REFRIGERANT LEAK

ENGLISH
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(lbs)] per each refrigerant system.
Calculate minimum room capacity
Calculate room capacity by regarding a portion as one room or the smaller room.
- Without partition - With partition and with opening which serve
as passage of air to adjoining room
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 concen-
tration shall be described in the unit of Kg/m
3
(lbs/ft
3
) (Freon gas weight per unit air volume)
for facilitating calculation.
Limiting concentration: 0.44kg/m

The installer and system specialist shall secure safety against leakage according to local regula-
tions 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.
