How to Check Refrigerant Gas
Managers must verify whether their equipment uses refrigerant gases subject to fluorocarbon regulations. Check your Cryochillers for Vacuum System by following the steps below.
STEP01: Where to Find Refrigerant Gas Information
First, locate where the refrigerant gas information is listed on your equipment.
On the side of the Cryochiller
Behind the temperature display unit
On the side with the refrigerant piping
Near the cooling water inlet
These are some common locations. You can also check the specifications section in the equipment manual.
STEP02: Examples of Regulated Designations (Nameplate Check)
If any of the following appear under the “Refrigerant” or “Refrigerant Gas” entry on the nameplate or in the instruction manual, the equipment is likely using a regulated gas.
Examples of designations indicating regulated gases
- ・HCFC
- ・HCFC mixed refrigerant
- ・CFC
