Charging devices that do not require a permit
Charging devices that do not require a permit
Charging devices that do not require a permit are mobile charging devices into which pressurised gases are charged into gas pressure vessels for exclusive use of one company.
Note:
Some air conditioner service devices are charging devices that do not require a permit. When these devices are used, the refrigerant is charged not into locally mobile pressurised gas containers, but into a permanently installed charging cylinder with a visible contents gauge and float switch.
Recommendation:
When surplus refrigerant is transferred for one's own requirements, it is recommended that a portable charging cylinder with visible level gauge and pressure relief valve be used.
When filling pressurised gases into other pressurised gas containers, comply with technical regulations for pressurised gas (TRG 402 in Germany; consult local regulations).
