Countermeasure in the event of possible refrigerant leakage
The room must have the following features to prevent suffocation in case a refrigerant leakage occurs:
1 Provide a shutterless opening which will allow fresh air to circulate into the room.
2 Provide a doorless opening of 0.15% or more size to the oor area.
3 There must be a ventilator fan connected to a gas leak detector, with a ventilator capacity of 0.4 m

? NOTE
Always take the maximum value between the R410A and R134a.
4 Pay special attention to the place, such as a basement, etc., where the refrigerant can stay, since refrigerant is heavier than air.
