Preparatory measures
Hint!
The information in the chapter
"Decommissioning" must be

Care must be taken during disposal
and devaluation that the various mate-

cling. Disposal of component remains
and components in the domestic ref-
uge or on refuse tips is not permitted.
The legal regulations applicable to the
place of installation regarding the dis-
posal of electrical equipment must be
taken into account.
Dismantled components must be dis-
posed of correctly and according to
legal requirements.
–
The dismantling and disposal of the package/
chiller must be carried out in such a way that:
•
the plant is free of voltage and is protected
against unintentional reconnection of the
voltage.
• Accidents to persons are prevented,
•
material damage is prevented,
• uncontrolled escape of refrigerant or oil is
prevented.
– Disposal and decommissioning work must only
be carried out by personnel who are qualified
according to EN 13313.
–
Components may be under elevated pressure
and the pressure must be released before open-
ing them.

Personal protective equipment compliant with
EN 378-3 must be worn.
