Refrigerant: Service Precautions
WARNING:
If a refrigerant container is heated, the pressure inside increases and there is a danger of explosion.
Gases generated when refrigerant is heated are toxic. These gases have a serious effect on the lungs.
Safety Instructions
Remember the following when working with A/C installations:
-
Wear close-fitting eye protection, as there is a danger of release of refrigerant. In addition, hands and skin should be protected as there is a danger
of frost bite.
-
If refrigerant comes into contact with the skin, bathe with cold water and treat the injury as a frost injury.
-
If refrigerant gets into the eyes, rinse with plenty of ordinary water, preferably for at least 15 minutes. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
-
Do not smoke or use naked flames when working with refrigerant as it can be broken down into poisonous gases at high temperatures. The gases
generated from heating have an acrid smell at high concentrations.
