Toxicity of refrigerant and
cooling liquid
*NOTE: for environmental reasons never discharge refrigerant into atmosphere (follow local regulations to properly dispose of
refrigerant).
It is recommended to familiarize with all technical documentation provided with the unit (such as controller manual, Mechanical
& Electrical Diagrams) in order to avoid improper operation of this unit.
It is also mandatory to comply with Regulation (EU) No. 517/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April
2014 on certain fluorinated greenhouse gases.
The above mentioned regulation establishes specific measures and limitations to be taken into consideration during the
commissioning, operation, maintenance and disposal of equipment containing greenhouse gases.
The Regulation (EU) N. 517/2014 also (but not only) specifies:
- Prevention of emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases (Article 3)
- Leak checks (to be performed by certified personnel) (Article 4)
- Record keeping (Article 6) by equipment operators
- Recovery (Article 8)
- Training and certification (art.10) of the personnel involved
CAUTION!
In accordance to the F-GAS regulation (EU) No 517/2014, every year the operator (the owner of the
equipment) is responsible to ensure a Gas leakage test, the recording of the gas quantity change inside the unit and the
communication to the responsible agency of the state in the European community where the unit is in operation.
To ensure that the performance of your chiller is not impaired, we recommend that you only use original spare parts purchased
from Pfannenberg, in this way you ensure the reliability and quality of the machine.
If you have any questions about spare parts, please contact our Pfannenberg Service Team (Contact details, p.2).
If you need any consultancy in terms of a maintenance and leakage check according (EU) No. 517/2014 please contact our
Pfannenberg Service Team. To ensure the proper and reliable functionality of the chiller, we recommend to perform the
commissioning by our Pfannenberg Service Team.

3 Residual risks

There are some residual risks after the installation of the unit that have to be considered:
Residual risks according to 2006/42/CE Directive:
•
The condenser has fins on his external surface, so there is the possibility for the operator to touch sharp edges during
service of the unit.
•
Although the unit is designed with all the possible safety requirements, in case of external fire there is the possibility that the
internal pressure and temperature of the unit will increase in a dangerous and uncontrollable way; in that case use the
extinguishing tools suitable for that conditions.
•
For units without emergency switch-disconnector: chiller user must install the emergency switch-disconnector installation
close to the chiller, in an accessible and clearly visible place, to allow emergency stop of the unit and saftefy for the
operator.
•
Even if the instructions contained in this manual are enough explanatory for safety, high pressure switches are mounted, to
guarantee intervention in case of wrong filing, or in case of malfunction due to not controlled increase of pressure and
temperature.
•
Even if in this manual is clearly indicated to switch off the unit before doing any maintenance or control operation, protection
elements of the unit, as fixed panels, are not provided with safety devices that block the operation of the unit if they are not
mounted, in that case the operator could be exposed to contact with internal rotating parts
Residual risks according to 2014/68/UE Directive:
