2.10 Emergency measures / procedure (first aid)
The following emergency equipment is to be provided in the case of a plant with a
refrigerant capacity of more than 200 kg of refrigerant and also when a special
machinery room is available:
•
•
•
The respiratory protection equipment must be suitable for that refrigerant. It must
consist of at least two independent respiratory protective apparatuses.
First aid equipment, medicine and special chemical preparations as well as pro-
tective coverings, etc. must be available and stored outside of the special
machine room but near the entrance. Special attention should be given to medi-
cines for the immediate treatment of eye injuries. Medicines and other chemical
preparations are to be acquired only in consultation with specialists.
The water for eye rinsing must be regulated with a thermostat (mixed warm/ cold
water), in order to avoid cold shock to the injured person.

Notice
Danger of media mixture basically exists with damage to evaporators/
condensers (e.g. plate penetration).
This can result in the ammonia transferring onto the liquid side of the heat
exchanger and thus causing ammonia to withdraw from the secondary
refrigerant side.
► To prevent subsequent damage and possible exposure to ammonia in
the hydraulic system on the user side, measures need to be taken on the
building side. These may take the form of:
•
Separator heat exchangers in glycol systems with copper piping.
•
NH -sensors in the pipe system close behind the heat exchangers.
