INFORMATION
Also read the precautions and requirements in the "General safety precautions"
chapter.
NOTICE
The refrigerant R744 requires strict cautions for keeping the system clean, dry and
tight.
▪
Clean and dry: foreign materials (including mineral oils or moisture) should be
prevented from getting mixed into the system.
▪
Tight: R744 does not contain any chlorine, does not destroy the ozone layer, and
does not reduce earth's protection against harmful ultraviolet radiation. R744 can
contribute to the greenhouse effect if it is released. Therefore pay special
attention to check the tightness of the installation.
NOTICE
The piping and other pressure-containing parts shall be suitable for refrigerant. Use
K65 copper-iron alloy tube system for high-pressure applications with a working
pressure of 120 bar.
▪
Foreign materials inside pipes (including oils for fabrication) must be
≤30 mg/10 m.
