9 Decommissioning

9.1 Standstill

Leave the oil heater (if available) switched on until dis-
assembly. This prevents increased refrigerant concen-
tration in the oil.
WARNING
Risk of refrigerant evaporation from the oil.
Increased risk of flammability, depending on the
refrigerant!
Shut-down compressors or used oil may still
contain rather high amounts of dissolved refri-
gerant.
Close the shut-off valves on the compressor
and extract the refrigerant!

9.2 Dismantling the compressor

WARNING
The compressor is under pressure!
Serious injuries are possible.
Depressurize the compressor!
Wear safety goggles!
Close the shut-off valves on the compressor. Extract
the refrigerant. In case of compressors without shut-off
valve, extract the entire refrigerant charge. Do not de-
flate the refrigerant, but dispose of it properly!

9.3 Disposing of the compressor

Drain the oil from the compressor. Dispose of waste oil
properly!
Dispose of the compressor properly per local regula-
tions!
