Chemical Used —
For refrigerated baths only:
R134A Refrigerant - CFC Free 3.5 ounces
R290 Refrigerant (propane), 4.1 ounces
Location: Refrigeration system
Hazard Communication — None
Electrical — All electrical energy sources for the circulator/bath are
provided by the user.
Hazardous Energy Isolation — The user is responsible to ensure
that the circuit providing power has an energy isolation device.
Electrical Remove power from the circulator by turning the
circuit protector off and disconnecting the line cord, see Section 3
Electrical Requirements.
Fluid Before using any fluid refer to the manufacturer's SDS and EC
Safety Data Sheet for handling precautions.
Refrigeration The bath's refrigeration system is sealed and requires no
lockout/tagout.
Remove any isolation devices before starting the circulator.
Chemicals — Prior to decontamination procedures should be developed
and employed to minimize or mitigate opportunities for exposure to
chemicals present in or around the circulating bath.
Radioactive Material — None
Magnetic Fields — None
Sampling and Analysis for External Contaminants from Other
Sources or from Spill Events — It is the responsibility of the
user to identify the presence of all external chemicals before the
decontamination. This should be accomplished by collecting samples
and analyzing them for any suspected chemicals used or stored in areas
adjacent to the bath.
Oxygen Deficiency — Many refrigerants which may be undetectable
by human senses are heavier than air and will replace the oxygen in
an enclosed area causing loss of consciousness. Refer to the bath's
nameplate and the manufacturer's most current SDS for additional
information. Test the atmosphere in a confined space area or area
where gases are being used to purge the circulating bath. If necessary,
use an air supplied respirator.
