is used in the operation of this equipment.
Use great care to avoid contact with liquid refrigerant or
inhaling refrigerant gas being discharged from any
container under pressure. Sudden and irreversible
tissue damage can result from freezing. Wear thermal
protective gloves and a face protector or safety glasses
in any situation where skin or eye contact is possible.
Prevent contact of refrigerant gas with flame or hot
surfaces. Heat causes the refrigerant to break down and
form carbonyl chloride (phosgene), a highly toxic and
corrosive gas.
