Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Handling pressure tanks
| Secure vessels against falling over! |
| Secure standing cylinders against falling over and lying
cylinders from rolling away. |
| Do not throw pressure vessels! |
| When falling, the containers may become severely deformed so
that they may be torn open. The refrigerant evaporates
immediately, releasing violent forces. Flying fragments of
cylinders can cause severe injuries. |
| Bottle valves can brake during improper transport. To
protect cylinder valves, bottles may be transported only with
protective covers screwed on. |
| Do not place near radiators! |
| High temperatures can occur near radiators. Higher
temperatures however also mean higher pressures, which may
exceed the rated pressure of the vessel. |

Do not heat above 50°C
To prevent danger, the Regulations for Pressure Tanks provide that tanks
shall not be heated to more than 50°C.
| Do not apply uncontrolled heat |
| Do not heat with an open flame under any circumstance. The
local overheating that will result can change the structure of
the container's materials, thereby reducing the safe maximum
pressure limit of the container. In addition, the danger arises
that the refrigerant decomposes due to localised overheating. |
|
|
|
| Empty refrigerant containers must in all cases be sealed so
as to prevent intrusion of moisture. Moisture causes steel
containers to rust. This weakens the walls of the containers. In
addition, rust particles which enter the refrigerant system from
the container cause malfunctions. |
