Recover Refrigerant
N No otte e:: In the USA, EPA Section 608 Certification is required to work on refrigeration systems. In the EU, local F-gas
Regulations must be observed when working on refrigeration systems.
At Thermo King ® , we recognize the need to preserve the environment and limit the potential harm to the ozone layer
that can result from allowing refrigerant to escape into the atmosphere.
We strictly adhere to a policy that promotes the recovery and limits the loss of refrigerant into the atmosphere.
When working on transport temperature control systems, a recovery process that prevents or minimizes refrigerant
loss to the atmosphere is required by law. In addition, service personnel must be aware of the appropriate European
Union, National, Federal, State, and/or Local regulations governing the use of refrigerants and certification of
technicians. For additional information on regulations and technician programs, contact your local THERMO KING
dealer.
