Safety precautions
W
Danger!
Before dismantling the plant, read the safety pre-
cautions carefully. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury or even death.
Dismantling a cooling unit to be scrapped must be
carried out safely.
Authorised refrigeration personnel must partici-
pate in the first part of the dismantling process as
fundamental knowledge of refrigeration systems
and the risks involved is required.
Before dismantling the plant, refrigerant and oil
must be drained into suitable containers. Discon-
nect all electrical connections to the unit and re-
move fuses in the main switchboard.
During the dismantling process, the individual ma-
chine parts and components must be sorted to en-
sure proper disposal.
W
Danger!
Be very careful when using cutting tools such as
angle grinders or flame cutters during the disman-
tling process as pipes and the like contain oil res-
idue which may ignite. Refrigerant residue also in-
volves a great risk as HFC and HCFC refrigerants
develop toxic gasses when heated. Make sure
that there are no air traps as heating results in a
pressure rise.
Disposal of machine parts
When dismantling the plant, it is important to sort
the parts to be disposed of. Compressor, frame,
containers, etc. belonging to the category of iron
and metal scrap must be brought to an approved
scrap dealer who complies with the prevailing na-
tional rules and regulations.
Disposal of oil and refrigerant
Oil and refrigerant must be brought to a receiving
station for hazardous waste for destruction or re-
generation. This also applies to used oil filters.
The receiving station must comply with the pre-
vailing national rules and regulations.
Disposal of electrical components
Electrical and electronic products, e.g. wiring,
panels, hardware, etc. must be brought to a re-
ceiving station approved to handle electronic
waste. The receiving station must comply with the
prevailing national rules and regulations.
Disposal of batteries
Used batteries from e.g. the backup of the compu-
ter control must be brought to a receiving station
for destruction. The receiving station must comply
with the prevailing national rules and regulations.
