The environmentally friendly R290 is used as the refrigerant.
R290 has no damaging influence on the ozone layer (ODP), a
negligible greenhouse effect (GWP) and is available
worldwide. Because of its efficient energy properties, R290 is
highly suitable as a coolant for this application. Special
precautions must be taken into consideration due to the
coolant's high flammability.
The unit is designed only for use with R290 (propane) gas
as the designated refrigerant.
The refrigerant loop is sealed. Only a qualified technician
should attempt to service!
Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
R290 (propane) is flammable and heavier than air.
It collects first in low areas but can be circulated by the fans.
If propane gas is present or even suspected, do not allow
untrained personnel to attempt to find the cause.
The propane gas used in the unit has no odor.
The lack of smell does not indicate a lack of escaped gas.
If a leak is detected, immediately evacuate all persons from
the room, ventilate the room and contact the local fire
department to advise them that a propane leak has
occurred.
Do not let any persons go back into the room until the
qualified service technician has arrived and that technician
advises that it is safe to return to the room.
No open flames, cigarettes or other possible sources of
ignition should be used inside or in the vicinity of the unit.
Component parts designed for propane are non-incentive
and non-sparking. Component parts shall only be replaced
with identical repair parts.
