Handling Refrigerant
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE:
There is a risk of freezing.
The refrigerant can then escape as a fluid or vapor.
Do not open canisters that contain refrigerant.
If refrigerant vessels are opened, the contents may escape in liquid or vapor form. This process is intensified the higher the pressure in the vessel.
The pressure level is governed by two factors:
- The type of refrigerant in the vessel. "The lower the boiling point, the higher the pressure."
- The temperature level. "The higher the temperature, the higher the pressure."
