Special Service Situations
There are rare occasions when the refrigerant charge must be evacuated from a
case in order to perform service work. In those situations, Federal Industries
recommends that the refrigerant charge be evacuated into a recovery system to
prevent the possibility of hydro-fluorocarbons (HFC’s) from being released into
the atmosphere.
The release of HFC’s into the atmosphere is a potential source of global
warming. Note the condensing unit that was supplied with this case has a
receiver tank large enough to hold all the charge you maybe able to pump down
the system when service is required.
If moisture or liquid is observed around or under a Federal Industries case, an
immediate investigation should be made by qualified personnel to determine the
source of the moisture or liquid. The investigation made should determine if the
case is malfunctioning or if there is a simple housekeeping problem.
Moisture or liquid around or under a case is a potential slip /fall hazard for
persons walking by or working in the general area of the case. Any case
malfunction or housekeeping problem that creates a slip / fall hazard around or
under a case should be corrected immediately.
