Appendix 5: Cooling agent precautions
Safety precaution
It is mandatory to proceed with caution when
connecting and disconnecting the system.
All precautions should be observed to prevent any
infiltration of coolant into the electrical connections.
The electrical property of the coolant will cause
electrical malfunction and may cause permanent
damages to the unit.
Make sure that the electrical connectors and the
coolant connectors are never open at the same time.
Connectors should be capped with adequate
protection as soon as possible after they are
disconnected.
Connectors should be connected as soon as possible
after their protective caps are removed.
Cooling inlet/outlet hoses Safety precautions
Following standard practice safety precautions are
mandatory. The unit is connected to chemicals.
Knowledge of dangers associated to the specific
chemicals used are recommended. The cooling liquid
has the potential of being hot and under pressure. Full
comprehension of the cooling system is mandatory.
Necessary precautions should be observed to avoid
injuries.
The cooling agent contains ethylene glycol that is a
highly flammable product. Ethylene glycol can burn
with an invisible flame that can cause serious burns
and/or other injuries.
• Always handle the cooling agent carefully
wearing appropriate safety clothing and
eyeglasses.
The cooling agent can irritate the skin, the eyes and
the mucous membranes.
• Always work in a well-ventilated area when
handling the cooling agent; breathing in high
concentrations of ethylene glycol can cause
nausea.
Safety precaution
In case of contact with eyes and skin, rinse with water
and consult a doctor.
•
In case of ingestion, seek medical help
immediately.
The cooling agent is under pressure when heated;
removing the hoses when the coolant is hot can cause
serious burns and/or other injuries.
•
Wait until the coolant reaches an ambient
temperature before removing the cables.
All potential dangers of handling cooling agents
cannot be listed here.
•
Consult manufacturer warnings and
recommendations for safe handling of the
cooling agent.
