CHECKING CONCENTRATION LIMIT11-2.
Check concentration limit following steps 
, and take appropriate measures depending on 
the situation.
 Calculate amount of all replenished refrigerant (kg) per refrigerant system.
Amount of replenished 
refrigerant per refrigerant 
system
Amount of additional 
replenished refrigerant
Total amount of replenished 
refrigerant in refrigerant 
system (kg)
+ =
Amount of replenished 
refrigerant at factory 
shipment
Amount of additionally 
replenished refrigerant 
depending on piping 
length , piping diameter 
and indoorunit model at 
customer.
Note : When one refrigerant 
system is divided into 2 or more 
refrigerant systems and each 
system is independent, total 
amount of replenished refrigerant 
of each system shall be adopted.
 Smallest room volume.
    Calculate room volume by regarding 
 portion as one room or the smallest room.

(d) When a mechanical ventilation 
device linked to a gas leak detection 
warning device is mounted in the 
smallest room.  The room with the 
second smallest area is the target.

 Calculate refrigerant concentration from the results of 
 and 
Total amount of 
replenished refrigerant in 
refrigerant facility (kg)
When the result of calculation 
exceeds the concentration limit, 
perform the same calculations by 
shifting to the second smallest, 
and the third smallest rooms
