1.3.2 Refrigerant Cylinders

Cylinder

specifications

P The cylinder is painted refrigerant color (pink).

P The cylinder valve is equipped with a siphon tube.

P Note:

1 Refrigerant can be charged in liquid state with cylinder in upright position.

2 Do not lay cylinder on its side during charging, since it causes refrigerant in gas state to enter

the system.

Handling of

cylinders

1 Laws and regulations

R410A is liquefied gas, and the High-Pressure Gas Safety Law must be observed in handling

them. Before using, refer to the High-Pressure Gas Safety Law.

The Law stipulates standards and regulations that must be followed to prevent accidents with

high-pressure gases. Be sure to follow the regulations.

2 Handing of vessels

Since R410A is high-pressure gas, it is contained in high-pressure vessels.

Although those vessels are durable and strong, careless handling can cause damage that can lead

to unexpected accidents. Do not drop vessels, let them fall, apply impact or roll them on the ground.

3 Storage

Although R410A is not flammable, it must be stored in a well-ventilated, cool, and dark place in the

same way as any other high-pressure gases.

It should also be noted that high-pressure vessels are equipped with safety devices that releases

gas when the ambient temperature reaches more than a certain level (fusible plug melts) and when

the pressure exceeds a certain level (spring-type safety valve operates).
