See table 4: Look up the minimum bottom opening area for natural
ventilation with the adjacent room (A
nv-min
) for the given refrigerant charge,
the given floor area of room A (A
roomA
) [! NOT room A + room B !] and the
given release height (H1).
Calculate ΔH1: difference between the minimum release height
required (H1) and the release height without chimney.
See table 2: Look up the minimum release height (H1) for the
given floor area (A
total
)
and the given refrigerant charge.
Is it practically feasible to
create ventilation openings that comply
with A
nv-min
and with the "Conditions ventilation
openings" on previous page)?
See table 3:
For ΔH1: Can the maximum
chimney length be respected, and is the
chimney practically feasible?
See table 2: Do you
need a chimney or not?
(i.e. does table 2 result in a value or "(*)"?)
