How To Install a Mini Split Air Conditioner - Refrigerants.

How to Install a Mini Split Air Conditioner?  HEALTH RISKS.

Before using or working with any refrigerant gas, the technician must be familiar with safety procedures relating to each one in particular. This takes a considerable importance when refrigerant will change. Because the fluorocarbon refrigerants toxicity is low, the possibility of a minor accident or to suffer death are low probability. Vapors are usually much heavier than air. Do not work in closed areas, because if you have a large spill or a leak of gas, will inhibit the presence of oxygen.

Installing Mini Split Heat Pump. INHALATION.

Inhale a lot of fumes is dangerous and can be fatal. Exposure to high levels of fluorocarbon above those permitted may cause choking symptoms. also possible that this loss of psychomotor coordination, increased heart rate, cardiac sensitization, deeper breathing or unconsciousness. If you experience any of these symptoms should be out in the fresh air.

Contact of liquid refrigerant on skin can cause frostbite, which is manifested by pallor or redness, numbness or swelling. Wash the affected area with water for 15 minutes. The same effects and preventive measures for skin.

Fortunately halogenated acids can be detected because they cause itchy nose, and so can be detected at low concentrations when they have reached a level where they can be toxic. These acids serve as notice that a gas breakdown has occurred.

Parts Of an Air Conditioning System. PRECAUTIONS.

Read safety data sheets from gas to be used. Work in a ventilated area. NO refrigerants expose torches to heat, sparks or heat sources. When doing a leak test on a refrigeration system using nitrogen gas to raise the pressure in the system, having recovered refrigerant. Always use a regulator of nitrogen to raise the system pressure to a safe level. The test pressure must not exceed the maximum working pressure, low side pressure to check for leaks. Never use oxygen or compressed air to pressurize systems, some refrigerants may explode in a pressurized environment and air combined.
