refrigerants
See transport regulations.
2.Marking of equipment using signs
See local regulations.
3.Disposal of equipment using flammable refrigerants
See national regulations.
4.Storage of equipment/appliances
The storage of equipment should be in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
5.Storage of packed (unsold) equipment
Storage package protection should be constructed such that mechanical
damage to the equipment inside the package will not cause a leak of the
refrigerant charge. The maximum number of pieces of equipment permitted
to be stored together will be determined by local regulations.
6.Information on servicing
1) Checks to the area
Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants,
safety checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimised.
For repair to the refrigerating system, the following precautions shall be
complied with prior to conducting work on the system.
2) Work procedure
Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise
the risk of a flammable gas
or vapour being present while the work is being performed.
3) General work area
All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instruct-
ed on the nature of work being carried out. Work in confined spaces shall
be avoided. The area around the workspace shall be sectioned off. Ensure
that the conditions within the area have been made safe by control of
flammable material.
4) Checking for presence of refrigerant
The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to
and during work, to ensure the technician is aware of potentially flammable
atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is
suitable for use with flammable refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately
sealed or intrinsically safe.
5)Presence of fire extinguisher
If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any
Inverter Window Air Conditioner
09
associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be avail-
able to hand. Have a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the
charging area.
6)No ignition sources
No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigeration system which
involves exposing any pipe work that contains or has contained flammable
refrigerant shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may
lead to the risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including
cigarette smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the site of
installation, repairing, removing and disposal, during which flammable
refrigerant can possibly be released to the surrounding space. Prior to work
taking place, the area around the equipment is to be surveyed to make
sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks. No Smoking
signs shall be displayed.
7)Ventilated area
Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated
before breaking into the system or conducting any hot work. A degree of
ventilation shall continue during the period that the work is carried out. The
ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably
expel it externally into the atmosphere.
8)Checks to the refrigeration equipment
Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for the
purpose and to the correct specification. At all times the manufacturer's
maintenance and service guidelines shall be followed. If in doubt consult
the manufacturer's technical department for assistance. The following
checks shall be applied to installations using flammable refrigerants:
• The charge size is in accordance with the room size within which the
refrigerant containing parts are installed;
• The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are
not obstructed;
• If an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuit shall
be checked for the presence of refrigerant; Marking to the equipment
continues to be visible and legible. Markings and signs that are illegible
shall be corrected;
• Refrigeration pipe or components are installed in a position where they
are unlikely to be exposed to any substance which may corrode
refrigerant containing components, unless the components are
constructed of materials which are inherently resistant to being corroded
or are suitably protected against being so corroded.
9)Checks to electrical devices
Repair and maintenance to electrical components shall include initial safety
checks and component inspection procedures. If a fault exists that could
compromise safety, then no electrical supply shall be connected to the
circuit until it is satisfactorily dealt with. If the fault cannot be corrected
Inverter Window Air Conditioner
10
immediately but it is necessary to continue operation, an adequate tempo-
rary solution shall be used. This shall be reported to the owner of the
equipment so all parties are advised.
Initial safety checks shall include:
• That capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to
avoid possibility of sparking;
• That there no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while
charging, recovering or purging the system;
• That there is continuity of earth bonding.
7.Repair to intrinsically safe components
Do not apply any permanent inductive or capacitance loads to the circuit
without ensuring that this will not exceed the permissible voltage and
current permitted for the equipment in use. Intrinsically safe components
are the only types that can be worked on while live in the presence of a
flammable atmosphere. The test apparatus shall be at the correct rating.
Replace components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other
parts may result in the ignition of refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak.
8.Cabling
Check that cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pres-
sure, vibration, sharp edges or any other adverse environmental effects.
The check shall also take into account the effects of aging or continual
vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.
9.Detection of flammable refrigerants
Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the
searching for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other
detector using a naked flame) shall not be used.
10.Leak detection methods
The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for systems
containing flammable refrigerants. Electronic leak detectors shall be used
to detect flammable refrigerants, but the sensitivity may not be adequate,
or may need re-calibration. (Detection equipment shall be calibrated in a
refrigerant-free area.) Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of
ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant used. Leak detection equipment
shall be set at a percentage of the LFL of the refrigerant and shall be
calibrated to the refrigerant employed and the appropriate percentage of
gas (25 % maximum) is confirmed. Leak detection fluids are suitable for use
with most refrigerants but the use of detergents containing chlorine shall
be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the
copper pipe-work. If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed/
extinguished. If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all
of the refrigerant shall be recovered from the system, or isolated (by means
of shut off valves) in a part of the system remote from the leak. Oxygen free
nitrogen (OFN) shall then be purged through the system both before and
during the brazing process.
11.Removal and evacuation
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs or for any other
purpose conventional procedures shall be used. However, it is important
that best practice is followed since flammability is a consideration. The
following procedure shall be adhered to:
Remove refrigerant; Purge the circuit with inert gas; Evacuate; Purge again
with inert gas; Open the circuit by cutting or brazing.
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylin-
ders. The system shall be flushed with OFN to render the unit safe. This
process may need to be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen
shall not be used for this task. Flushing shall be achieved by breaking the
vacuum in the system with OFN and continuing to fill until the working
pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere, and finally pulling down
to a vacuum. This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within
the system. When the final OFN charge is used, the system shall be vented
down to atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place. This operation
is absolutely vital if brazing operations on the pipe-work are to take place.
Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any ignition
sources and there is ventilation available.
12.Charging procedures
In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following require-
ments shall be followed. Ensure that contamination of different refrigerants
does not occur when using charging equipment. Hoses or lines shall be as
short as possible to minimise the amount of refrigerant contained in them.
Cylinders shall be kept upright.
Ensure that the refrigeration system is earthed prior to charging the
system with refrigerant.
Label the system when charging is complete (if not already).
Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill the refrigeration system. Prior to
recharging the system it shall be pressure tested with OFN. The system
shall be leak tested on completion of charging but prior to commissioning.
A follow up leak test shall be carried out prior to leaving the site.
13.Decommissioning
Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician is
completely familiar with the equipment and all its detail. It is recommended
good practice that all refrigerants are recovered safely.
Prior to the task being carried out, an oil and refrigerant sample shall be
Inverter Window Air Conditioner
11
Inverter Window Air Conditioner
12
taken in case analysis is required prior to re-use of reclaimed refrigerant. It
is essential that electrical power is available before the task is commenced.
a)Become familiar with the equipment and its operation. b) Isolate system
electrically. c) Before attempting the procedure ensure that: Mechanical
handling equipment is available, if required, for handling refrigerant cylin-
ders;All personal protective equipment is available and being used correct-
ly; The recovery process is supervised at all times by a competent person;
Recovery equipment and cylinders conform to the appropriate standards.
d) Pump down refrigerant system, if possible. e) If a vacuum is not possible,
make a manifold so that refrigerant can be removed from various parts of
the system. f) Make sure that cylinder is situated on the scales before
recovery takes place. g) Start the recovery machine and operate in accor-
dance with manufacturer's instructions. h) Do not overfill cylinders. (No more
than 80 % volume liquid charge). i) Do not exceed the maximum working
pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily. j) When the cylinders have been
filled correctly and the process completed, make sure that the cylinders
and the equipment are removed from site promptly and all isolation valves
on the equipment are closed off. k) Recovered refrigerant shall not be
charged into another refrigeration system unless it has been cleaned and
checked.
14.Labelling
Equipment shall be labelled stating that it has been de-commissioned and
emptied of refrigerant. The label shall be dated and signed. Ensure that
there are labels on the equipment stating the equipment contains
flammable refrigerant.
15.Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommis-
sioning, it is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed
safely. When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appro-
priate refrigerant recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct
number of cylinders for holding the total system charge is available. All
cylinders to be used are designated for the recovered refrigerant and
labelled for that refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders for the recovery of refriger-
ant). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure relief valve and associated
shut-off valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are evacu-
ated and, if possible, cooled before recovery occurs. The recovery equip-
ment shall be in good working order with a set of instructions concerning
the equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery of
flammable refrigerants. In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall
be available and in good working order. Hoses shall be complete with
leak-free disconnect couplings and in good condition. Before using the
recovery machine, check that it is in satisfactory working order, has been
Inverter Window Air Conditioner
13
properly maintained and that any associated electrical components are
sealed to prevent ignition in the event of a refrigerant release. Consult
manufacturer if in doubt. The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the
refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery cylinder, and the relevant Waste
Transfer Note arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units and
especially not in cylinders. If compressors or compressor oils are to be
removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to
make certain that flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubri-
cant. The evacuation process shall be carried out prior to returning the
compressor to the suppliers. Only electric heating to the compressor body
shall be employed to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a
system, it shall be carried out safely.
