[0002] In recent years, with the approaching replacement of refrigerants, more and more environmentally friendly but flammable refrigerants have been used in the refrigeration and air-conditioning heat pump industries. The use of flammable refrigerants has made the safety performance of products a focus of attention in the industry. In order to ensure the safety of products, on the one hand, potential ignition sources are treated as non-ignition sources through design, and on the other hand, the refrigerant charge amount and the minimum room area for product use are limited to ensure that even if the flammable refrigerant leaks, there will be no risk of fire.

[0003] The limit on the amount of refrigerant charged has become a major problem restricting the development of the industry. In order to ensure product performance requirements, sufficient refrigerant is needed to achieve the cooling effect. On the other hand, in order to ensure product safety, excessive flammable refrigerant is not allowed to be used. The national standards such as the refrigerator safety standard GB 4706.13-2014, the commercial freezer safety standard GB 4706.102-2010, and the air conditioner safety standard GB4706.32-2012 have all set limits on the amount of refrigerant charged. The corresponding international standards IEC60335-2-24, IEC60335-2-89, IEC60335-2-40 and other standards also have clear limits on the amount of refrigerant charged.

In order to solve this problem, the international air conditioner safety standard IEC60335-2-24, IEC60335-2-89, IEC60335-2-40 and other standards have all set limits on the amount of refrigerant charged. 60335-2-40:2022 first proposed a refrigerant monitoring system, which monitors the concentration of flammable refrigerants. Once a leak is found, auxiliary measures are taken to cut off product operation or ventilation to quickly dilute the flammable refrigerant and prevent possible combustion accumulation to ensure product safety. This method will also be applied in other product standards in the future. The use of a refrigerant monitoring system requires limiting the response time of the refrigerant sensor to ensure that it can respond quickly when a leak is detected.
