18.1
Safety precautions
Danger!
Before dismantling the plant, read the safety precautions carefully.
Dismantling a refrigeration unit to be scrapped must be carried out safely.
Only competent refrigeration personnel must perform the dismantling as fundamental knowl-
edge of refrigeration systems and the risks involved are required.
Before dismantling the unit, refrigerant and oil must be drained into suitable containers. Dis-
connect all electrical connections to the unit and remove fuses in the main switchboard.
During the dismantling process, the individual machine parts and components must be sorted
to ensure proper disposal. Hazardous waste must be handled at a site complying with the pre-
vailing national rules and regulations.
Danger!
Be very careful when using cutting tools, such as angle grinders or flame cutters, during the
dismantling process, as pipes and the like contain oil residue and refrigerant, which may be
toxic and/or flammable.
