▪ In places where there is a risk of fire due to the leakage of flammable gases
(example: thinner or gasoline), carbon fibre, ignitable dust.
▪ In places where corrosive gas (example: sulphurous acid gas) is produced.
Corrosion of copper pipes or soldered parts may cause the refrigerant to leak.
▪ In bathrooms.
▪ In places where frost is possible. The ambient temperature around the gas boiler
should be >5°C.
▪ In places where frost is possible. The ambient temperature around the indoor
unit should be >5°C.
3.1.3 Refrigerant — in case of R410A or R32
If applicable. See the installation manual or installer reference guide of your
application for more information.
DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION
Pump down – Refrigerant leakage. If you want to pump down the system, and there
is a leak in the refrigerant circuit:
▪
Do NOT use the unit's automatic pump down function, with which you can collect
all refrigerant from the system into the outdoor unit.
Possible consequence: Self-
combustion and explosion of the compressor because of air going into the
operating compressor.
▪
Use a separate recovery system so that the unit's compressor does NOT have to
operate.
WARNING
During tests, NEVER pressurise the product with a pressure higher than the
maximum allowable pressure (as indicated on the nameplate of the unit).
WARNING
Take sufficient precautions in case of refrigerant leakage. If refrigerant gas leaks,
ventilate the area immediately. Possible risks:
▪
Excessive refrigerant concentrations in a closed room can lead to oxygen
deficiency.
▪
Toxic gas might be produced if refrigerant gas comes into contact with fire.
WARNING
ALWAYS recover the refrigerant. Do NOT release them directly into the environment.
Use a vacuum pump to evacuate the installation.
WARNING
Make sure there is no oxygen in the system. Refrigerant may ONLY be charged after
performing the leak test and the vacuum drying.
Possible consequence: Self-combustion and explosion of the compressor because of
oxygen going into the operating compressor.
