General information and safety instructions
WARNING
The following precautions need to be followed strictly, in order to avoid hazardous situations,
which could result in death or serious injury.
A fi re or explosion hazard and the generation of poisonous gas may result if R32 refrige-
rant gas comes into contact with open fl ames.
► The air conditioning appliance with direct expansion (DX) coil shall be installed, ope-
rated and stored in a space without continuously operating ignition sources (e.g. open
fl ames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater).
► If DX coil appliance is not installed in a separate refrigeration machinery room as spe-
cifi ed in EN378, calculate the maximum allowed density limit of the relevant installati-
on space as detailed below (see
→
1.4.1 Calculating the density limit).
► The DX coil appliance shall be installed, operated and stored in a well ventilated space
with a ceiling height of at least 2.5 m and a fl oor area larger than [A
min
] m
2
so that it
complies with the required density limit (see
→
1.4.1 Calculating the density limit).
► Pay particular attention to prevent refrigerant leakages during installation, mainte-
nance and repair work (see
→
1.4.2 Preventing leaks).
► If a leak is suspected, do the following:
»
remove or extinguish all naked fl ames immediately
»
ventilate the room immediately
»
use a calibrated electronic leak dectector to detect any leaks (see
→
1.4.3 Detecting leaks)
► Repair any leaks diligently (see
→
1.4.4 Repairing leaks), before refi lling the refrige-
rant cycle with refrigerant and checking for any leaks again.
NOTICE
For full details on the required precautions for the installation and maintenance of an R32 unit,
always refer to the Installation Guide of the relevant PACi unit.
1.4.1 Calculating the density limit
As R32 is a slightly fl ammable refrigerant (ASHRAE fl ammability class A2L), the requirements
for the installation space of the DX coil appliance must comply with the applicable regulations
and standards, such as EN60335-2-40 and EN378.
Depending on perspective, the density limit determines either the minimum fl oor area “A
min
”
(specifi ed in m
2
) required for a given refrigerant charge amount (specifi ed in kg), or vice versa
the allowed maximum refrigerant charge “m
max
” for the DX coil appliance (specifi ed in kg) in
relation to the fl oor area of the available installation space (specifi ed in m
2
). The charge limits for
R32 installations (based on EN60335-2-40, 5th edition) also depend on the mounting position of
the DX coil.
