RETIRING THE UNIT
When the unit has reached the end of its working life and needs to removed and replaced, a series of
operations should be carried out:
- the refrigerant gas it contains should be recovered by specialised personnel and sent to a waste
collection facility;
- the lubricating oil in the compressors should also be recovered and sent to a waste collection facility;
- if they cannot be reused, the framework and components should be scrapped and separated according
to the type of material: this applies especially for the considerable quantities of copper and aluminium
present in the unit.
This will make the job of waste collection, disposal and recycling facilities easier and minimise the
environmental impact of such processes.
TROUBLESHOOTING
On the next pages you will find a list of the most common causes that may cause the chilling unit to fail
or malfunction. These causes are broken down according to easily identifiable symptoms.
You should be extremely careful when attempting to implement any of the possible
remedies suggested: overconfidence can result in injuries, even serious ones, to inexpert
individuals. Therefore, once the cause has been identified, you are advised to contact
the manufacturer or a qualified technician for help.
