Element Assessment

Chemical Used —
R134A Refrigerant - CFC Free
Amount: Polystat I and II 0.62 ounces,
Polystat III 1.07 ounces
Location: Compressor
Hazard Communication — None
Electrical —
All electrical energy sources for the chiller are provided by the user.
Hazardous Energy Isolation — Locate energy isolation devices in a location that is readily accessible.
Electrical Remove power from the chiller by turning the circuit protector off and disconnecting the line
cord, see Section 3 Electrical Requirements.
Fluid Before using any fluid refer to the manufacturer's MSDS and EC safety data sheets for handling
precautions. The user is responsible to ensure the reservoir overflow located on the rear of the chiller is
connected to a suitable drain.
Refrigeration The chiller's refrigeration system is sealed and requires no lockout/tagout.
Remove any isolation devices before starting the chiller.
Chemicals — Prior to decontamination procedures should be developed and employed to minimize or
mitigate opportunities for exposure to chemicals present in or around the chiller.
Radioactive Material — None
Magnetic Fields — None
Sampling and Analysis for External Contaminants from Other Sources or from Spill Events It is the
responsibility of the user to identify the presence of all external chemicals before the decontamination.
This should be accomplished by collecting samples and analyzing them for any suspected chemicals used
or stored in areas adjacent to the chiller.
Oxygen Deficiency — Many refrigerants which may be undetectable by human senses are heavier than
air and will replace the oxygen in an enclosed area causing loss of consciousness. Refer to the chiller's
nameplate and the manufacturer's most current MSDS for additional information. Test the atmosphere
in a confined space area or area where gases are being used to purge the chiller. If necessary, use an air
supplied respirator.

Personal Protective Equipment

The are no special personal protective equipment requirements needed to perform normal operation. We do
recommend wearing eye protection.

Training
