Basically the following must be regarded concerning the transport of R-290 cyl-
inders:
1. During the transportation of R-290 always carry along printed information
about the refrigerant. In case of emergency these information must be
easily accessible. There are often different demands to the transporters
carrying a great quantity of gas. Inform yourself before the scheduled
transport.
2. Make yourself familiar with the risks of the refrigerant and the emergency
measures in case of accident or emergency.
3. Always carry a fire extinguisher during transportation with you. It should be
a dry powder fire extinguisher with a capacity of at least of 2 kg. Make
sure that the driver is experienced in fire extinguisher operation.
4. Cylinders must be transported in an upright position and be tightly se-
cured.
5. Make sure of a proper ventilation inside the van even though it might re-
quest a change in the vans‘ body construction.
6. Place the security advise “flammable gas“ upon the rear side of the van.
7. Smoking or open fire is strictly forbidden inside the van.
8. Do not leave cylinders in a locked van without surveillance longer than
necessary.
