Appliance filled with flammable gas R290.
THE REFRIGERANT
• To realize the function of the air conditioner unit, a special refrigerant circulates
in the system. The used refrigerant is the fluoride R290, which is specially
cleaned.
• The refrigerant is flammable and inodorous. Furthermore, it can lead to
explosion under certain conditions.
• Compared to common refrigerants, R290 is a nonpolluting refrigerant with no
harm to the ozonosphere. The influence upon the greenhouse effect is also
lower. R290 has got very good thermodynamic features which lead to a really
high energy efficiency. The units therefore need a less filling.
• Please refer to the nameplate for the charging quantity of R290.
