    INFOrMATION This cooling unit contains fluorinated greenhouse gas covered by the Kyoto protocol In these STULZ chillers the refrigerant R410A is used. Refrigerants are volatile or highly volatile fluorinated hydrocarbons which are liquefied under pressure. They are incombustible and not hazardous to health when used as intended.
  • Page 10: Safety And Environmental Requirement

    • In the case of acute effects, the casualty is to be brought into the fresh air as quickly as possible. • Splashes of fluorinated hydrocarbons in the eyes can be blown out or fanned out by an assis- tant. Then rinse with water. EN/06.2016/i01 © STULZ S.p.A. – all rights reserved...
