FLAMMABLE GASES

FLAMMABLE GASES
As standard, The e-BALTIC range is supplied with R32 refrigerant which is a flammable gas classified A2L (slightly flammable).
A2L / A2 / A3 flammable gases are subject to more important safety regulations than gases classified A1. This section
summarizes the standard and provides specific Lennox recommendations. This section is based on the EN 378, EN 60079-10-1
standards as well as numerical simulations and tests related to the flammability risk carried out on these products. It provides
the recommendations to be taken into account so that the product is installed, used, maintained and destroyed at the end of
its life cycle without putting the actors in the product life cycle at risk.

LABELS OF A FLAMMABLE GAS UNIT

The A2L logo on the nameplate indicates that the product contains refrigerant of the slightly flammable
category. It is also positioned on schraders where refrigeration components can be connected for
maintenance. This label tells you that there is a potential risk of a flammable gas leak and that this should be
taken into account in the operational risk analysis.

TRANSPORT OF A FLAMMABLE GAS UNIT

Machines loaded with A2L refrigerant must comply with the ADR rules (Accord for dangerous
goods by road), in particular UN 3358. Please plan the route in accordance with this class. In the
case of specific air transport requiring machines not charged with refrigerant, please contact your
Lennox contact.
UN3358 transports are not allowed in Eurotunnel and tunnels of category D and E.
Containers must be fitted with stickers according to the plan below.
In the transport voucher, note: UN3358 Refrigerant units 2.1
In case the machine contains more than 12Kg of refrigerant, please also note the total amount of refrigerant on the transport
voucher.
In the case of maritime transport, the IMDG (International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code) is based on the same rules as the
ADR. Some specific local rules may apply (especially in Asia).

RECEPTION CONTROLS FOR A FLAMMABLE GAS UNIT

Please do not approach the container or truck in the presence of an open flame, an electric power source, a cell phone, or any
other heat source whose temperature would exceed 500°C.
Likewise, if the product had to be stored prior to installation, please store it in a place free from potential sources of ignition
as described above.
