he ecoGEO HP heat pumps range must be installed in a place where they are not accessible to the
general public.
The heat pump contains refrigerant. The refrigerants used by Ecoforest are not harmful to the environment as it does not contain
chlorine, and therefore does not contribute to the destruction of the ozone layer. In the following table you can consult the
flammability and the toxicity characteristics of them:

Table 1.1. Flammability and toxicity properties of refrigerants used by Ecoforest heat pumps.
Under normal operation of the heat pump the toxicity of the refrigerant is nil and there is no risk of explosion. However, the following
precautions should be taken in the event of refrigerant leakage.
T
▪
he refrigerant contained in the heat pump should not be released in the atmosphere, since it
DANGER!
contributes to global warming of the planet (GWP).
T
▪
he refrigerant should be recovered for recycling or elimination according to current legislation.
D
▪
o not directly touch the area where the leak has occurred, as this could result in severe frostbite
injuries.
V
▪
entilate the area immediately.
A
▪
nyone who has come into contact with refrigerant vapor must evacuate the area immediately and
breathe fresh air.
D
▪
irect exposure of the refrigerant to a flame produces toxic gas. However, this gas can be detected
by its odor when at concentrations well below the permitted limits.
A
▪
1 refrigerants: Direct exposure of the refrigerant to a flame produces a toxic gas. However, said gas
is detectable by its smell in concentrations well below the allowed limit.
A
▪
2L and A3 refrigerants: The refrigerant cannot be reached by any source of ignition. The detection
of refrigerant leaks must be carried out with means that do not contain a live flame.
1.2. Maintenance
Ecoforest heat pumps do not require specific maintenance after they are started up. The controller monitors a large number of
parameters and will produce a warning if any problem arises. It is simply necessary to ensure that the installation is checked regularly
by an authorized installer to make sure that the heat pump is running properly.
