Procedure for Checking Maximum Concentration
Check the maximum concentration level in accordance with steps 1 to 4 below and take whatever action is
necessary to comply.
Step 1
Calculate the amount of refrigerant (kg) charged to each system separately.
Note:
Where a single refrigerant facility is divided into 2 entirely independent refrigerant systems then use the
amount of refrigerant with which each separate system is charged.
Step 2
Calculate the smallest room volume (m³ )
Incase like the following, calculate the volume of (A), (B) as a single room or as the smallest room.
A. Where there are no smaller room divisions
B. Where there is a room division but there is an opening between the rooms sufficiently large to permit a
free flow of air back and forth.
(Where there is an opening without a door or where there are openings above and below the door which
are each equivalent in size to 0.15% or more of the floor area.)
Step 3
Calculating the refrigerant density using the results of the calculations in steps 1 and 2 above.
If the result of the above calculation exceeds the maximum concentration level then make similar
calculations for the second then third smallest room and so until the result falls short of the maximum
concentration.
Step 4
Dealing with the situations where the result exceeds the maximum concentration level.
Where the installation of a facility results in a concentration in excess of the maximum concentration level
then it will be necessary to revise the system.
Please consult your supplier.
