a qualified professional in accordance with prevailing local and
national regulations.
1. Switch off the air conditioner.
2. Cut the mains supply to the air conditioner.
3. Recover the refrigerant in accordance with prevailing regulations.

4. Disconnect the refrigerant connections.
5. Dismantle all hydraulic connections.
6. Dismantle the air conditioner.
7. Scrap or recycle the air conditioner in accordance with prevailing local
and national regulations.
When decommissioning the air conditioner, all refrigerants need to be
recovered safely. Prior to the task being carried out, an oil and refrigerant
sample shall be taken in case analysis is required prior to re-use of
recovered refrigerant. It is essential that electrical power is available
before the task is commenced.

3. Pump down refrigerant system, if possible.
4. Connect a manifold and apply a vacuum so that refrigerant can be
removed from various parts of the system.
5. Make sure that cylinder is situated on the scale before the refrigerant
flows to the cylinder.
Important
Do not overfill cylinder (no more than 80 % volume liquid
charge).
Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder,
even temporarily.
6. After all the refrigerant has been removed from the system, close the
cylinder and remove the equipment from the site promptly.
7. Close all isolation valves.
