Precautions for New Refrigerant (R-410A) SiBE28-805256 Precautions for New Refrigerant (R-410A)1.2 Refrigerant Cylinders Cylinder specifications• The cylinder is painted refrigerant color (pink).• The cylinder valve is equipped with a siphon tube. Handling of cylinders(1) Laws and regulationsR-410A is liquefied gas, and the High-Pressure Gas Safety Law must be observed inhandling them. Before using, refer to the High-Pressure Gas Safety Law.The Law stipulates standards and regulations that must be followed to prevent accidentswith high-pressure gases. Be sure to follow the regulations.(2) Handing of vesselsSince R-410A is high-pressure gas, it is contained in high-pressure vessels.Although those vessels are durable and strong, careless handling can cause damage thatcan lead to unexpected accidents. Do not drop vessels, let them fall, apply impact or rollthem on the ground.(3) StorageAlthough R-410A is not flammable, it must be stored in a well-ventilated, cool, and darkplace in the same way as any other high-pressure gases.It should also be noted that high-pressure vessels are equipped with safety devices thatreleases gas when the ambient temperature reaches more than a certain level (fusible plugmelts) and when the pressure exceeds a certain level (spring-type safety valve operates).Refrigerant can be charged in liquid state with cylinder inupright position.Caution: Do not lay cylinder on its side during charging, sinceit cause refrigerant in gas state to enter the system.Siphon tubeCylinder
