1. Regulation for refrigerant leakage
: the amount of refrigerant leakage should satisfy the following equation for human safety.
2. If the above equation can not be satisfied, then follow the following steps.
① Selection of air conditioning system: select one of the followings.
• Effective opening part Installation
• Reconfirmation of outdoor unit capacity and piping length
• Reduction of the amount or refrigerant
• 2 or more security device installation of alarm for gas leakage
② Change indoor unit type
: installation position should be over 2m(6.6ft) from the floor (Cassette type)
③ Adoption of ventilation system
: choose ordinary ventilation system or building ventilation system
④ Limitation in piping work
: design for earthquake-proof and prevention against thermal stress
