GENERAL CHILLER INFORMATION AND SAFETY
Refrigerant Data:
Safety Data 134a
Disposal Best to recover and recycle. If this is not possible, destruction is to be in an approved facility
which is equipped to absorb and neutralise acids and other toxic processing products.
Fire extinguishing data Non-fl ammable at atmospheric conditions.
Containers Fire exposed containers should be kept cool with water sprays. Containers may burst if
overheated.
Fire fi ghting protective
equipment
Self contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing must be worn in fi re conditions.
Refrigerant Oil Data
Safety Data YORK “L” Oil
Classifi cation Non-hazardous
In contact with skin Minimally irritating. No fi rst aid necessary. Exercise reasonable personal cleanliness
including clea nsing exposed skin areas several times daily with soap and water. Launder
soiled work clothes at least weekly.
In contact with eyes Flush eyes with eyewash solution or clean water for 15 minutes and consult a physician.
Ingested May cause nausea and diahorrhea. Obtain immediate medical attention.
Inhalation If oil mist is inhaled, remove to fresh air and consult a physician.
Occupational exposure
limits
Not determined.
Stability Stable but hygroscopic - store in sealed containers.
Conditions to avoid Strong oxidisers, caustic or acid solutions, excessive heat. May degrade some paints and
rubber materials.
Hazardous
decomposition
Not fully, Analogous compounds evolve carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other
unidentifi ed fragments when burned. Burning may evolve irritating/noxious fumes.
Respiratory protection Use in well ventilated areas - ventilate locally.
Protective clothing Goggles or face shield should be worn. Gloves not necessary, but recommended, especially
for prolonged exposure.
Spill / Leak procedure Wear suitable protective equipment. Especially goggles. Stop source of spill. Use absorbent
materials to soak up fl uid (i.e. sand, sawdust and commercially available materials).
Disposal Incinerate the oil and all associated wastes in an approved facility in accordance with local
laws and regulations governing oily wastes.
Fire extinguishing data Flash point over 300°C. Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide or foam. Spraying water on hot or
burning liquid may cause frothing or splashing.
If a leak or spill has not ignited use water spray to disperse the vapours and to provided
protection for persons attempting to stop the leak.
Containers Fire exposed containers should be kept cool with water sprays.
Fire fi ghting protective
equipment
Self contained breathing apparatus should be worn in fi re conditions.
