• Do not use direct flames or electro warming devices near the chiller to increase the pressure of the refrigerant. • A2L refrigerants are not flammable at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature in air. In case of pressurization with air or oxygen, the mixture may get flammable. A potentially explosive atmosphere can be created at the release of refrigerants.
Page 9
First aid measures • If health problems occur during or after handling fluorinated hydrocarbons, a doctor is to be consulted immediately. The doctor is to be informed that the work involved the use of HFCs. • In the case of acute effects, wear breath apparatus to transport the casualty is to fresh air as quickly as possible, keeping the victim warm and laying on the ground.
2.5 Safety Data Refrigerant Gas Safety data of the refrigerant Preparation identification REFRIGERANT R32 1. Product identification Recommended use Refrigerant Extremely flammable gas. Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated. My 2. Hazard identification Most important hazards displace oxygen and cause rapid suffocation. Remove from exposure, lie down.
The mixture may become flammable or reactive when pressurized with oxygen. Avoid heat, hot surfaces and open flames. Do not expose to Conditions to avoid temperatures exceeding 52°C. Do not store in confined space of basement, 7. Stability and reactivity store in well ventilated place.
To assure a persistent quality and reliability, all units are tested and inspected before leaving the factory. The heat pumps are completely assembled when shipped and contain refrigerant under pressure. The units must always be transported upright. The refrigerant circuit is filled with R32 refrigerant ready to be used. The unit is labelled as below.
If you put the unit into intermediate storage before the installation, the following measures have to be carried out to protect the unit from damage and corrosion: • Make sure that the water connections are provided with protective hoods. If the intermediate storage exceeds 2 months, we recommend filling the pipes with nitrogen.
