MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION
12
1. 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) 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.
4) Presence of fire extinguisher
If any hot
work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated
parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a
dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.
5) 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
Troubleshooting
13
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.
6) 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 ex
pel it externally into the
atmosphere.
7) 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 c
omponents 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.
8) Checks to electrical devices
14
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 immediately but it is
necessary to continue operation, an adequate temporary solution shall be used.
This shall be reported to the owner of the equipment so all parties are ad
vised.
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.
2. Repairs to sealed components
1) During repairs to sealed components, all electrical supplies shall be disconnected from
the equipment being worke
d upon prior to any removal of sealed covers, etc. If it
isabsolutely. necessary to have an electrical supply to equipment during servicing, then
a permanently operating form of leak detection shall be located at the most critical
point to warn of a potentially hazardous situation.
2) Particular attention shall be paid to the following to ensure that by working on electrical
components, the casing is not altered in such a way that the level of pro
tection is
affected. This shall include damage to cables, excessive number of connections,
terminals not made to original specification, damage to seals, incorrect fitting of glands,
etc.
Ensure that apparatus is mounted securely.
Ensure that seals or sealing materials have not degraded such that they no longer serve
the purpose of preventing the ingress of flammable atmospheres. Replacement parts
shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s sp
ecifications.
NOTE: The use of silicon sealant may inhibit the effectiveness of some types of leak
15
detection equipment. Intrinsically safe components do not have to be isolated
prior to working on them.
3. 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 t
est 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.
4. Cabling
Check that cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, 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.
5. 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.
6. 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 refrigeran
ts, 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
16
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 of
f 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.
7. 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 cylinders. 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 wit
h 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
17
the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any ignition sources and there is
ventilation available.
8. Charging procedures
In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements 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.
– Ensur
e 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.
9. Deco
mmissioning
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 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) B
ecome 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
cylinders;
18
• All personal protective equipment is available and being used correctly;
• 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 recover
y takes place.
g) Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance 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 equipme
nt are closed off.
k) Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system unless it
has been cleaned and checked.
10. 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.
11. Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or d
ecommissioning, it
is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely.
When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate 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
refrigerant). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure relief valve
19
and associated shut-off valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are
evacuated and, if possible, cooled before recovery occurs.
The recovery equipment 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 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 lubricant. 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 th
is process. When oil is drained from a system,
it shall be carried out safely.
