Page 11: Necessity Of Ventilation
• CHAPTER 1 Ventilation for Healthy Living Ventilation air must be introduced constantly at a set ratio in an air-conditioning system. The ventilation air introduced is to be mixed with the return air to adjust the temperature and humidity, supply oxygen, reduce odors, remove tobacco smoke, and to increase the air cleanliness. - Page 12 • CHAPTER 1 Ventilation for Healthy Living In Japan, an Instruction Guideline based on these regulations has been issued, and unified guidance is followed. Part of the Instruction Guideline regarding ventilation is shown below. • The ventilation air intake must be 33ft (10m) or higher from ground level, and be located at an appropriate distance from the exhaust air outlet.

Page 16: Ventilation Performance
• CHAPTER 1 Ventilation for Healthy Living 4. Ventilation Performance The ventilation performance is largely affected by the installation conditions. Optimum performance may not be achieved unless the model and usage methods are selected according to the conditions. Generally, the ventilation performance is expressed by “air volume” and “wind pressure (static pressure)” . 4.1 Air Volume Air volume equals the volume of air exhausted (or supplied) by the unit in a given period, and is expressed in CFM or m /hr (hour). - Page 17 Ventilation for Healthy Living 4.3 Measuring the Air Volume and Static Pressure Mitsubishi Electric measures the Lossnay’s air volume and static pressure with a device as shown below according to Japan Industrial Standards (JIS B 8628).
