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