Using The Pressure Reservoir
Seal the Container and Store in a Well Ventilated Cool Area.
The refrigerant is heavier than air, gas leaks spread especially on the ground.
Protect from heat and direct sunlight, do not store in areas with temperatures above 50 °C (122 °F).
Do not store near basements or other low laying areas.
Only store in well ventilated areas.
Keep the Container Away from Ignition Sources!
Do not smoke in areas where there is Refrigerant R1234yf. In addition take measures against electrostatic charge.
Secure Reservoirs to Prevent Them from Falling Over.
Secure upright cylinders to stop them falling over and secure cylinders lying flat to stop them rolling away.
Do Not Throw Reservoirs.
If dropped, the vessels could be so severely deformed that they rupture. The refrigerant evaporates immediately, releasing considerable force. Flying fragments of cylinders can cause severe injuries.
To Protect the Valves, Cylinders Must Only Be Transported with the Cap Screwed On.
Valves may break off if cylinders are not properly transported.
Never Store near Heating Devices.
High temperatures may occur next to heating devices. High temperatures are also accompanied by high pressures and the maximum permissible vessel pressure may be exceeded.
No Warming above 50 °C (122 °F)
To avoid possible risk, pressure vessel regulations specify that containers with refrigerant are not to be heated to in excess of 50 °C (122 °F).
No Unmonitored Warming
Do not heat using an open flame under any circumstances. Localized overheating can cause structural changes in the container material, which then reduces its ability to withstand pressure. There is also a danger of refrigerant decomposition due to localized overheating.
Empty Containers, Sealing
Empty refrigerant containers must always be sealed to prevent the ingress of moisture. Moisture causes steel containers to corrode. This weakens the container walls. In addition to this, rust particles that enter the refrigerant circuit of systems from containers will cause malfunctions.
