REFRIGERANT INFORMATION
Always observe caution when working with
refrigerants and in areas where they are being
used.
Fluorocarbon refrigerants evaporate rapidly,
freezing anything that they come in contact
with if accidentally released to the atmosphere
from their liquid state.
Refrigerants may produce toxic gases which, in
the presence of an open flame or electrical
short, can become severe respiratory irritants
which can be fatal.
Refrigerants displace air and can cause oxygen
depletion which could result in death by
suffocation. Observe caution at all times when
working with or around refrigerant, or air
conditioning systems which contain refrigerant,
especially in enclosed or confined areas.
RECOVER REFRIGERANT
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.
