FLAMMABLE GASES
As standard, the eCOMFORT range is supplied with R32 refrigerant which is a flammable gas classified A2L (slightly flammable).
A2L / A2 / A3 flammable gases are subject to more important safety regulations than gases classified A1. This section summarizes
the standard and provides specific Lennox recommendations. This section is based on the standards as well as numerical simulations
and tests related to the flammability risk carried out on these products. It provides the recommendations to be considered so that the
product is installed, used, maintained and destroyed at the end of its life cycle without putting the actors in the product life cycle at risk.
