13.12 Considerations when Dismantling the Unit
The Liebert CRV is designed and built to ensure continuous operation.
The working life of some of the main components, such as the fan and the compressor, depends on proper
maintenance.
NOTICE
Risk of release of hazardous substances into the environment. Can cause environmental
pollution and violation of environmental regulations.
The Liebert CRV contains substances and components hazardous for the environment
(electronic components, refrigerating gases and oils). At the end of its useful life, the
LiebertCRV must be dismantled by specialized refrigerating technicians. The unit must be
delivered to suitable centers specializing in the collection and disposal of equipment
containing hazardous substances.
The refrigerating fluid and the lubricating oil inside the circuit must be recovered according to the laws in
the relevant country.
To recover the gas, use all the connections described in Vacuum Refrigerant-charge Connection
Locations on page42.
13.13 F-Gas Regulation (EC) No. 842/2006
Stationary air conditioning placed in the European Community market and operating with fluorinated
greenhouse gases (F-gas), such as R-134A, R-407C and R-410A, must comply with the F-gas Regulation
(applied since July 4, 2007).
Following considerations must be observed when operating with the above-mentioned equipment:
• Fluorinated greenhouse gases are covered by the Kyoto Protocol.
• The fluorinated greenhouse gases in this equipment should not be vented to the atmosphere.
• Referring to the value noted in Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 842/2006, the following list
specifies the global warming potential (GWP) of some major F-gases:
• R-134A: GWP 1300
• R-407C: GWP 1610
• R-410A: GWP 1890
