Information on servicing
1. Checking the area
Prior to beginning work on systems
containing ammable refrigerants,
safety checks are necessary to ensure
that the risk of ignition is minimized.
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 minimize
the risk of a ammable gas or vapor
being present while the work is being
performed.
3. General work area
All maintenance sta and others
working in the local area shall be
instructed on the nature of work being
carried out. Work in conned spaces
shall be avoided. The area around
the workspace shall be sectioned o.
Ensure that the conditions within the
area have been made safe by control
of ammable material.
4. Checking for presence of refrigerant
The area should be checked with
an appropriate refrigerant detector
prior to and during work, to ensure
the technician is aware of potentially
ammable atmospheres. Ensure that
the leak detection equipment being
used is suitable for use with ammable
refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking,
adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
5. Presence of a re extinguisher
If any hot work is to be conducted
on the refrigeration equipment or
any associated parts, appropriate
re extinguishing equipment shall be
available to hand. Have a dry powder
or CO2 re 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 ammable
refrigerant shall use any sources of
ignition in such a manner that it may
lead to the risk of re or explosion. All
possible ignition sources, including
cigarette smoking, should be kept
suciently far away from the site of
installation, repairing, removing and
disposal, during which ammable
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 ammable
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.

background
WARNING
(For using R290/R32 refrigerant only)
8. Checks to the refrigeration equipment
Where electrical components are
being changed, they shall be t
for the purpose and to the correct
specication. 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 ammable
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 should
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 should 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 should be used.
This should be reported to the owner
of the equipment, so all parties are
advised.
• Initial safety checks should
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.
10. Repairs to sealed components
During repairs to sealed components,
all electrical supplies shall be
disconnected from the equipment
being worked upon prior to any
removal of sealed covers, etc. If
it is absolutely 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.
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 protection is aected. This shall
include damage to cables, excessive
number of connections, terminals not
made to original specication, damage
to seals, incorrect tting of glands, etc.
Ensure that seals or sealing materials
have not degraded such that they no
longer serve the purpose of preventing
the ingress of ammable atmospheres.
Replacement parts should be in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
specications.
NOTE: The use of silicon sealant may
inhibit the eectiveness of some
types of leak detection equipment.
Intrinsically safe components do not
have to be isolated prior to working
on them.
7
background
11. 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
ammable atmosphere. The test
apparatus shall
be at the correct rating.
Replace components only with parts
specied by the manufacturer. Other
parts may result in the ignition of
refrigerant in the atmosphere from a
leak.
12. Cabling
Check that cabling will not be subject
to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure,
vibration, sharp edges or any other
adverse environmental eects. The
check shall also take into account the
eects of aging or continual vibration
from sources such as compressors or
fans.
13. Detection of ammable refrigerants
Under no circumstances, should
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 ame)
should not be used.
14. Leak detection methods
The following leak detection
methods are deemed acceptable
for systems containing ammable
refrigerants. Electronic leak detectors
shall be used to detect ammable
refrigerants, but the sensitivity may
not be adequate, or may need re-
calibration. (Detection equipment
should 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 should 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 conrmed.
Leak detection uids 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 pipework.
If a leak is suspected, all naked ames
should be removed/ extinguished. If a
leakage of refrigerant is found which
requires brazing, all of the refrigerant
should be recovered from the system,
or isolated (by means of shut o
valves) in a part of the system remote
from the leak. Oxygen free nitrogen
(OFN) should then be purged through
the system both before and during the
brazing process.
15. 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
ammability is a consideration.
Opening of the refrigeration systems
should not be done by brazing.
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 should be
recovered into the correct recovery
cylinders. The system should be
ushed 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 should be achieved by
breaking the vacuum in the system
with OFN and continuing to ll until
the working pressure is achieved, then
venting to atmosphere, and nally
pulling down to a vacuum. This process
shall be repeated until no refrigerant is
within the system.
WARNING
(For using R290/R32 refrigerant only)
8
background
When the nal 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 pipework are to take place.
Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum
pump is not close to any ignition
sources and there is ventilation
available.
16. Charging procedures
In addition to conventional
charging procedures, the following
requirements should be followed.
Ensure that contamination of dierent
refrigerants does not occur when
using charging equipment. Hoses or
lines should be as short as possible
to minimize the amount of refrigerant
contained in them.
Cylinders should 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 should be taken not to
overll the refrigeration system.
Prior to recharging the system, it
should be pressure tested with OFN.
The system should be leak tested on
completion of charging but prior to
commissioning. A follow up leak test
should be carried out prior to leaving
the site.
17. 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 should 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.
Become familiar with the
equipment and its operation.
Isolate the system electrically.
Before attempting the procedure
ensure that:
When breaking into the
refrigerant circuit to make
repairs or for any other
purpose, conventional
procedures should be used.
Mechanical handling
equipment is available,
if required, for handling
refrigerant cylinders.
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.
Pump down refrigerant system, if
possible.
If a vacuum is not possible, make a
manifold so that refrigerant can be
removed from various parts of the
system.
Make sure that cylinder is situated
on the scales before recovery
takes place.
Start the recovery machine
and operate in accordance with
manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not overll cylinders. (No more
than 80 % volume liquid charge).
Do not exceed the maximum
working pressure of the cylinder,
even temporarily.
When the cylinders have been
lled correctly and the process
is completed, make sure that the
cylinders and the equipment are
removed from the site promptly
and all isolation valves on the
equipment are closed o.
Recovered refrigerant should
not be charged into another
refrigeration system unless it has
been cleaned and checked.
WARNING
(For using R290/R32 refrigerant only)

background
18. Labelling
Equipment should be labelled stating
that it has been de-commissioned
and emptied of refrigerant. The label
should be dated and signed. Ensure
that there are labels on the equipment
stating the equipment contains
ammable refrigerant.
19. Recovery
When removing refrigerant from
a system, either for servicing or
decommissioning, 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
and associated shut-o 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 ammable 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
