Decommissioning prepares equipment for safe and secure transportation.
Laboratory Grade Ethylene glycol (EG) is poisonous and flammable. Before
disposing refer to the manufacturer's most current SDS for handling precautions.
Decommissioning must be performed only by qualified dealer using certified
equipment. All prevailing regulations must be followed.
Consider decommissioning the chiller when:
• It fails to maintain desired specifications
• It no longer meets safety standards
• It is beyond repair for its age and worth
Refrigerant and compressor oil must be recovered from equipment before disposal.
Note Keep in mind any impact your application may have had on the chiller.
Direct questions about chiller decommissioning or disposal to our Sales, Service and
Customer Support.
Handling and disposal should be done in accordance with the manufacturers
specification and/or the SDS for the material used.
Follow the manufacturer's SDS instructions if decontamination is required.
Transporting and/or storing the chiller in near or below freezing temperatures
requires draining, see Draining in this Section. Store the chiller in the temperature
range of -25°C to 60°C (with packaging), and <80% relative humidity.
If the chiller is stored for more than 90 days it must be flushed with clean fluid
before operating.
