2.5 Safety information on the refrigerant fluid

This product contains fluorinated greenhouse gases included in the Kyoto protocol. Do not release these gases into
the atmosphere.
Type of refrigerant: R32.
GWP value: 677. Based on "IPCC Fifth Assessment Report".
GWP is the global warming potential.
The quantity of refrigerant fluid is indicated in the unit's data label. Periodic inspections are necessary to check for
refrigerant fluid leaks in accordance with local and/or European regulations.
2.5.1

Hazards and health consequences

If accidentally released, rapid evaporation of the liquid can cause freezing.
In case of contact with the liquid:
- defrost the various part with water;
- remove clothing carefully;
- rinse thoroughly with water.
Contaminated clothing and shoes should be washed before reuse.
High vapour concentrations can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness and nausea, and may lead to
unconsciousness and cardiac arrhythmia.
If inhaled move the victim to fresh air. Artificial respiration and/or oxygen may be necessary. Call a doctor immediately.
In case of contact with eyes, remove contact lenses. Rinse immediately with plenty of water, holding the eyelids open,
for at least 15 minutes.
The safety data sheet drawn up by the producer of the refrigerant can be obtained from the
manufacturer of the unit.
The refrigerants used in these units are classified as ASHRAE A2L and they are characterised by low
flammability (burning velocity < 10 cm/s). If refrigerant leaks out, it tends to stagnate in the bottom part
of the area where the leak has occurred.
We reserve the right to make changes without any prior notice.
