Danger
Escaping refrigerant can lead to explosions that
result in very serious injuries.
Do not introduce any power sources or ignition
sources into the safety zone.
■
Complete units and compressors are only to
be disposed of via qualified disposal special-
ists.
■
In the case of damage to the refrigerant circuit
or suspected leakage from the refrigerant cir-
cuit, evacuate the refrigerant circuit. Fill with
nitrogen or comparable gases.
Observe the following regulations:
■
Fluorinated greenhouse gas regulation 517/2014/EU
■
Currently applicable regulations and requirements
Note
Before commencing decommissioning, note the
"Checklist for maintenance work" on page 165.
Decommissioning:
■
Positioning requirements apply only so long as the
outdoor unit is filled with refrigerant: See page 23.
■
Decommissioning may only be carried out by a quali-
fied contractor who is familiar with the equipment
used for refrigerant disposal.
■
For decommissioning and disposal also, work on the
refrigerant circuit may only be carried out by qualified
and certified personnel: See "Safety information".
■
Check that it is possible to transport the outdoor unit
safely. If necessary, extract the refrigerant: See
chapter "Extracting the refrigerant" on page 177.
Frost protection:
■
To avoid frost damage, completely remove heating
water from the connection pipes and the condenser
(not required with frost-free storage).
Intermediate storage:
■
Intermediate storage only above ground level with
natural ventilation aperture to the outside
■
Ensure adequate air circulation during intermediate
storage.
■
If the outdoor unit dismantled for disposal is not
stored in accordance with the siting requirements,
the following steps must be carried out:
■
Check that it is possible to transport the outdoor unit
safely. If necessary, extract the refrigerant: See
chapter "Extracting the refrigerant" on page 177.
Transport:
■
Observe transport information: See page 23.
Observe all applicable regulations and requirements.
Note
According to the European regulation on the carriage
of dangerous goods by road (ADR), special regula-
tion 291 for transporting complete units with less
than 12 kg of flammable refrigerant, no special trans-
port requirements need be followed.
■
Transport only in an upright position
■
Use suitable transport brackets.
■
Ensure adequate air circulation during transport.
■
Keep ignition sources away, e.g. flying sparks, smok-
ing, etc.
