Warning!
When charging oil, follow the safety instructions
given by the oil supplier (MSDS: Material Safety
Data Sheet). Always avoid direct contact with the
oil as this may cause skin allergies. Always use
protective equipment - goggles and gloves - when
charging oil.
Refrigeration compressors are lubricated by one
of the following oil types depending on the refrig-
erant plant type, and operating conditions.
–
Mineral oil (M oil)
–
Alkyl benzene-based synthetic oil (A oil)
–
Polyalphaolefine-based synthetic oil
(PAO oil)
–
Mixed A and PAO oil (AP oil)
–
Polyalkylen glycol-based synthetic oil
(PAG oil)
–
Ester oil (E oil)
See the section
Selecting lubricating oil for
Sabroe Refrigeration
compressors
in the oil rec-
ommendation for Sabroe compressors.
When changing oil on the compressor or draining
oil from the vessel of the refrigeration plant, al-
ways collect the used oil in containers marked
“waste oil” and send them to an approved inciner-
ation plant. It is
not
recommended to reuse oil.
Refrigerants
Great caution must be exercised when dealing
with refrigerants. The supplier of the refrigeration
plant has a duty to inform user and operator about
the dangers of the refrigerant used. Safety data
sheets etc. must be available to the operator.
Cooling water systems
W
Warning!
The recirculation water system may contain
chemicals or biological contaminants, including
legionella, which can be harmful if inhaled or in-
gested. Water systems should only be operated
with an effective biological treatment programme.
Note:
These instructions only provide general information. The owner of the refrigeration plant is
responsible for ensuring that all codes, regulations, and industry standards are complied with.
