Refrigerant Re-Use Policy
Manitowoc recognizes and supports the need
for proper handling, re-use, and disposal of,
CFC and HCFC refrigerants. Manitowoc
service procedures require recapturing
refrigerants, not venting them to the
atmosphere.
It is not necessary, in or out of warranty, to
reduce or compromise the quality and
reliability of your customers’ products to
achieve this.
Important
Manitowoc Ice, Inc assumes no responsibility
for use of contaminated refrigerant. Damage
resulting from the use of contaminated,
recovered, or recycled refrigerant is the sole
responsibility of the servicing company.
Manitowoc approves the use of:
1. New Refrigerant
• Must be of original nameplate type.
2. Reclaimed Refrigerant
• Must be of original nameplate type.
• Must meet ARI Standard 700 (latest
edition) specifications.
3. Recovered or Recycled Refrigerant
• Must be recovered or recycled in
accordance with current local, state
and federal laws.
• Must be recovered from and re-used in
the same Manitowoc product. Re-use
of recovered or recycled refrigerant
from other products is not approved.
• Recycling equipment must be certified
to ARI Standard 740 (latest edition)
and be maintained to consistently meet
this standard.
• Recovered refrigerant must come from
a “contaminant-free” system. To
decide whether the system is
contaminant free, consider:
• Type(s) of previous failure(s)
• Whether the system was cleaned,
evacuated and recharged properly
following failure(s)
• Whether the system has been
contaminated by this failure
• Compressor motor burnouts and
improper past service prevent
refrigerant re-use.
• Refer to “System Contamination
Cleanup” on page 6-15 to test for
contamination.
4. “Substitute” or “Alternative” Refrigerant
• Must use only Manitowoc-approved
alternative refrigerants.
• Must follow Manitowoc-published
conversion procedures.
