Maximum permitted concentration of HFCs
The refrigerant R410A (charged in the outdoor unit) and the
refrigerant R134a are incombustible and non-toxic gases.

suffocation.
The maximum permissible concentration of HFC gas according
to EN378-1 is:
Refrigerant Maximum permissible concentration (kg/m

)
R410A 0.44
R134a 0.25
The minimum volume of a closed room where the system is
installed to avoid suffocation in case of leakage is:
System combination Minimum volume (m

)
4-6 HP 7.6
The formula used for the calculation of the maximum allowed
refrigerant concentration in case of refrigerant leakage is the
following:
R
— = C
V
R: Total quantity of refrigerant charged (kg)
V: Room volume (m³)
C: Refrigerant concentration
If the room volume is below the minimum value, some effective
measure must be taken account after installing to prevent
suffocation in case of leakage.
