Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve workability with easier identification of a refrigerant applied by a method wherein a fluorocarbon based refrigerant containing chlo rine is recovered sampling during a refrigerating cycle to seal in the fluorocarbon based refrigerant containing no chlorine in stead and moreover, a display label is applied to the effect that the fluorocarbon based refrigerant containing no chlorine is applied. CONSTITUTION:A fluorocarbon based refrigerant containing chlorine as working refrigerant is recovered sampling with a refrigerant recovery device from an air conditioning apparatus used presently. Then, the concentration of the fluorocarbon based refrigerant containing chlorine left in a refrigerating cycle is measured and when the concentration falls below a prescribed value, a compressor is separated by cutting to bleed a refrigerating machine oil accumulated inside the compressor, alternative new refrigerating machine oil is sealed by a prescribed value into the compressor. Then, the compressor is connected as it is before by welding and evacuation is performed in the refrigerant cycle. A non-azeotropic mixture refrigerant is sealed in as alternative refrigerant. Then, a display label is applied at a position near a service lid to the effect that the non-azeotropic mixture refrigerant and the new refrigerant are applied.

Further, the correction label 1 as shown in FIG. 5 may be prepared and attached on a predetermined portion of the already attached display label as shown in FIG. Incidentally, the material for the correction label is suitable because a polyester film based on silver matte does not allow the underlying characters to pass through. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6, the refrigerant name and the refrigerating machine oil name may be changed to an alternative product, and the conventional display label 4 already attached may be peeled off and replaced in the same place, or as shown in FIG. You may rewrite the conventional display label already stuck on. FIG. 9 shows an example of the position where the display label is attached.
