DECOMMISSIONING OF THE UNIT
DISCONNECTING THE UNIT
The units must be disconnected by authorised personnel,
who before proceeding must first read the Residual Risks
section in this manual.
Before disconnecting the unit, the following must be
recovered, if present:
•
the refrigerant (if the circuits cannot be isolated):
the refrigerant must be removed using suction
devices operating in a closed circuit, so as to
ensure that none of the compound is released
into the atmosphere.
•
the antifreeze in the circuits: when removing this
fluid, make sure that it does not leak and that it is
not released into the environment. The antifreeze
fluid must be stored in special containers.
When recovering the substances present in the unit, all
measures must be taken to avoid damaging persons and
things and polluting the surrounding area.
Awaiting dismantling and disposal, the unit can also be
stored outdoors, as bad weather and rapid changes in
temperature will not cause damage to the environment, if
electric, cooling and hydraulic circuits of the unit are
integral and closed.
DISMANTLING AND DISPOSAL
THE UNIT MUST ALWAYS BE SENT TO AUTHORISED
CENTRES FOR DISMANTLING AND DISPOSAL.
When dismantling the unit, the fan, the motor and the coil,
if operating, may be recovered by the specialist centres for
reuse.
All the materials must be recovered or disposed of in
compliance with the corresponding national standards in
force.
For further information on the decommissioning of the unit,
