First aid measures

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2015 BMW Alpina B7L, 2015 BMW Alpina B7, 2015 BMW 750i, 2015 BMW 750Li, and 2015 BMW 740i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: Refrigerant is hygroscopic and must therefore be stored in suitable containers that are sealed airtight!

Refrigerant oil is non-combustible and non-explosive at normal temperatures. Nevertheless, the following points must be observed:

  • Do not store in the vicinity of flames, heat sources or strongly oxidizing materials
  • Suitable extinguishants are carbon dioxide (CO2 ) dry extinguishant and foam

Recycling: 

Catch and dispose of emerging refrigerant oil.

Observe country-specific waste disposal regulations.

Absorb escaping refrigerant oil with fluid-binding material.

Notify the relevant authorities if larger amounts of refrigerant oil are discharged into aboveground water supplies, drainage systems or subsoil.
