Abstract:
A disposal apparatus of combustible fluorine-series refrigerant composition for drawing out and disposing a combustible fluorine-series refrigerant composition consisting essentially of a fluorine-series refrigerant and hydrocarbons having 1 to 5 carbon atoms from a refrigeration apparatus charged therewith,the disposal apparatus comprising a combustion furnace, a refrigerant feed unit for drawing out a combustible fluorine-series refrigerant composition from the refrigeration cycle of a refrigeration apparatus and feeding the composition to the combustion furnace, an air feed unit for feeding fresh air for combustion to the combustion furnace, and a water vapor feed unit for feeding water vapor to the combustion furnace, wherein the combustible fluorine-series refrigerant composition is combusted and decomposed in the presence of water vapor in the combustion furnace to be then disposed, and the hydrocarbons having 1 to 5 carbon atoms are contained at about 6 percent by weight or more to about 90 percent by weight or less on the basis of the whole composition.
