in a confined area and encounters an ignition source.
In addition, some refrigerants can decompose into toxic gases when exposed to flames or extremely hot surfaces.
Proper refrigerant handling, leak detection, adequate ventilation, and servicing by qualified technicians are essential for maintaining system safety.
3. Overheating Components and Poor Ventilation
Air conditioning systems generate heat during operation, and inadequate airflow or ventilation can cause components to overheat.
Compressors, motors, electrical components, and other parts that operate above their designed temperature limits can suffer failures and potentially create a fire hazard.
