According to Regulation (EU) 517/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on fluorinated greenhouse
gases: The operator of an installation that contains F-gases in an amount of more than 5 tonnes of CO2 equivalent is
required by law to ensure regular leak tests. Inspections may only be performed by certified persons holding a

5.5. Product life cycle and disposal

Cooling equipment life cycle

The device is designed so that its minimum service life without the need for major modifications exceeds 12 years. Provided
proper operation and regular maintenance, the equipment should operate for 15 to 20 years. In addition to operation, the
service life cycle of the equipment is fundamentally affected by the method of operation - working parameters and
complexity of the environment, the dynamics of changes in the thermal load (stable load prolongs the service life cycle), etc.
The resulting service life cycle of the equipment thus depends not only on the manufacturer but also on the technological
project of installation, method of operation and compliance with the principles of proper operation and maintenance.

Disposal

The cooling device is made of metal, plastic and electronic components. All parts of the equipment must be disposed of in
accordance with the applicable local laws, in accordance with Directive 2012/19 / EU (WEEE) (EU Directive - Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment). At the end of the operation, it is recommended to consider the possible modernization, reuse,
disassembly and recycling of the equipment.
The pumped out refrigerant is considered hazardous waste and therefore this activity must be entrusted to
a professional organization authorized to work with cooling systems and in accordance with the laws in force in the
country where dismantling takes place. Refrigerant gases must be prevented from escaping into the environment by
category I certificate (EU Implementing Regulation 2015/2067).
