Checking of limit density
Density limit is determined on the basis of the size of a
room using an indoor unit of minimum capacity. For
instance, when an indoor unit is used in a room (floor
area 7.43 m
2
× ceiling height 2.7 m = room volume
20.06 m
3
), the graph at right shows that the minimum
room volume should be 14.1 m
3
(floor area 5.2 m
2
) for
refrigerant of 4.238 kg. Accordingly, openings such as
louvers are required for this room.
<Determination by calculation>
Overall refrigerant charge amount for the air conditioner: kg
(Minimum room volume for indoor unit: m
3
)
=
4.238 (kg) + 3.5 (kg)
= 0.39 (kg/m
3
) ≥ 0.3 (kg/m
3
)
20.06 (m
3
)
Therefore, openings such as louvers are required for
this room.
● Obtain charge amount for each tubing size
Note that the charge amounts per 1 meter are different for each liquid tubing size.
ø9.52 → LA + LB + LC + LD : 65 m × 0.056 kg/m = 3.64 kg
ø6.35 →
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 : 23 m × 0.026 kg/m = 0.598 kg
Total 4.238 kg
Additional refrigerant charge amount is 4.238 kg.
Be sure to check the limit densi-
ty for the room in which the
indoor unit is installed.
