Therefore, the compressor 8 can be reused or recycled according to the description in this treatment method column. .

In this case, when it is described in the replacement record column that the compressor 8 has been replaced, the actual operation time of the compressor 8 is shorter than the time described in the operation record column. Estimate the operating time from the date of replacement and use it for reuse or dispose of it by recycling. When the component, in this case, the compressor 8 is replaced, the operation accumulated time in the movable record column may be cleared, and then the operation time may be newly accumulated.

When the compressor 8 is disposed of by recycle, the compressor mechanism 34 and the motor 35 are housed in a sealed case in the parts material column, the sealed case is made of iron, the compressor mechanism 34 is made of iron and the rotor is made of iron. Iron and packing are described as being made of plastic, and in the treatment method column, cylinders and rotors are described as being recycled as steel materials, and packing is being described as being recycled as plastic materials.

Then, regarding the motor 35 taken out of the sealed case, the recycling information is checked, and it is determined whether to reuse or recycle from the life of the parts, the operation record, and the exchange record. When recycling, look at the parts material column, the motor case is made of iron, the stator core and rotor core are made of iron, the rotating shaft is made of iron, and the coil is made of copper. The child core, rotor core, and rotating shaft are recycled as steelmaking materials, and the coil is recycled as copper material. Of course, body 2, compressor 8, motor 3

Written on the D tag 11 and then from the dealer to the carrier,
Each time the refrigerator 1 is delivered from the carrier to the dismantling company, recipient information such as a new recipient's address, name or name, and telephone number is written in the ID tag 11. For this reason, if the refrigerator 1 has been illegally dumped, if the recipient information of the ID tag 11 is read and the latest recipient is specified, the person can be regarded as a person who has illegally dumped.

By the way, when the trader normally receives the article, he gives the receipt to the person who delivered the article. For this reason, if it is forgotten to write in the ID tag 11, the latest recipient written in the ID tag 11 is not the one who illegally dumped the refrigerator 1, but in this case, the latest reception It is sufficient that the person presents the receipt and proves that the refrigerator 1 was handed over to another person, and the person who could not prove that the latest recipient was different by the receipt issued a high probability of illegal dumping Can be considered. Considering that new receipts can be proved one after another in the receipt as described above, at least information (user information) that can identify the user may be written in the ID tag 11. It will be.

Then, knowing that the illegal dumping can search for the illegitimate dumper as described above, no one dares to risk the illegal dumping, which is effective in preventing the illegal dumping.
