The respective room area can be determined by projecting the walls, doors and
partitions to the floor and calculating the enclosed area. Spaces connected only
through false ceilings, ductwork, or similar connections are not considered a single
space.
Step2 – Use the graph or table below to determine the total refrigerant charge:

Minimum room area of the space in which the indoor unit is installed [m²]
Note: Round down the derived values.
The graphs and table are based on an installation height of the indoor unit
between 1.8m and 2.2m (bottom of indoor unit or bottom of duct openings).
If the installation height is more than 2.2m, higher total refrigerant charge limit of
the system can apply. To know the total refrigerant charge limit of the system in
case the installation height is more than 2.2 m, refer to the online tool (VRV
Xpress).
Step 3 – The total amount of refrigerant in the system MUST be less than the
refrigerant charge limit derived from the graph above. If NOT, natural ventilation
safety measure is not allowed.
Step4 – The partition between two rooms on the same floor MUST meet one of
the following two requirements for natural ventilation.
1 Rooms on the same floor that are connected with a permanent opening that
extends to the floor and is intended for people to walk through.
2 Rooms on the same floor connected with permanent openings that fulfil the
requirements listed below. The openings must consist out of two parts to allow
air circulation for natural ventilation.
