Handling refrigerants
  WARNING
Danger of freezing injuries.
The refrigerant can emerge as liquid or as vapour.
Do not open containers in which this refrigerant is present.
If refrigerant containers are opened, the contents may escape in liquid or vapour form. The higher the pressure in the container, the more energetic the emergence will be.
How high the pressure is depends on two factors:
l  What type of refrigerant is in the container. „This is because the lower the boiling point, the higher the pressure.“
l  How high the temperature is. „This is because the higher the temperature, the higher the pressure.“
