2. BRAZING
DANGER
1. Refrigerant R-404A itself is not flammable at atmospheric pressure and
temperatures up to 176
° F.
2. Refrigerant R-404A itself is not explosive or poisonous. However, when
exposed to high temperatures (open flames) R-404A can be decom-
posed to form hydrofluoric acid and carbonyl fluoride both of which are
hazardous.
3. Always recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container. Do
not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
4. Do not use silver alloy or copper alloy containing Arsenic.
5. Do not use R-404A as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.
Refrigerant leaks can be detected by charging the unit with a little refrig-
erant, raising the pressure with nitrogen and using an electronic leak
detector.
Note: All brazing-connections inside the bin are clear-paint coated. Sandpaper the
brazing connections before unbrazing the components. Use a good abrasive cloth
to remove coating.
