WARNING
To avoid possible explosion, use only returnable (not disposable) service cylinders when removing refrigerant
from a system.
•
Ensure the cylinder is free of damage which could lead to a leak or explosion.
•
Ensure the hydrostatic test date does not exceed 5 years.
•
Ensure the pressure rating meets or exceeds 400 lbs.
When in doubt, do not use cylinder.
Safe Refrigerant Handling
While these items will not cover every conceivable situation, they should serve as a useful guide.
WARNING
To avoid possible personal injury, explosion or death, practice safe handling of refrigerants.
WARNING
Refrigerants are heavier than air. They can “push out” the oxygen in your lungs or in any enclosed space. To
avoid possible death or difficulty in breathing:
•
Never sniff a refrigerant.
•
Never purge refrigerant into an enclosed room or space. In fact, all refrigerants must, BY LAW, be reclaimed.
•
If an indoor leak is suspected, thoroughly ventilate the area before beginning work.
•
Liquid refrigerant can be very cold. To avoid possible frostbite or blindness, avoid contact and wear gloves and
goggles. If liquid refrigerant does contact your skin or eyes, get medical help immediately.
•
Always follow EPA regulations. Never burn refrigerant, as poisonous gas will be produced.
WARNING
To avoid possible explosion:
•
Never apply flame or steam to a refrigerant cylinder. If you must heat a cylinder for faster charging, partially
immerse it in warm water.
•
Never fill a cylinder more than 80% full of liquid refrigerant.
•
Never add anything other than R-22 to an R-22 cylinder. Service equipment used must be listed or certified for
R-22.
•
Store cylinders in a cool, dry place. Never use a cylinder as a platform or a roller.
