Decommissioning prepares equipment for safe and secure transportation.
Laboratory Grade Ethylene glycol (EG) is poisonous and flammable.
Before disposing refer to the manufacturer's most current SDS for
handling precautions.
Decommissioning must be performed only by qualified dealer using
certified equipment. All prevailing regulations must be followed.
Consider decommissioning the chiller when:
•
It fails to maintain desired specifications
•
It no longer meets safety standards
•
It is beyond repair for its age and worth
Refrigerant and compressor oil must be recovered from equipment before
disposal.
Note Keep in mind any impact your application may have had on the
chiller.
Direct questions about chiller decommissioning or disposal to our Sales,
Service and Customer Support.
Handle and dispose in accordance with the manufacturers specification
and/or the SDS for the material used.
Follow the manufacturer's SDS instructions if decontamination is
required.
Transporting and/or storing the chiller requires draining, see
Draining in this Section. Store the chiller in the temperature range of
-25°C to 60°C (with packaging), and <80% relative humidity.
If the chiller is stored for more than 90 days it must be flushed with
clean fluid before operating.
