1.3.1. CHECKS TO THE AREA
1.3.1.1. 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.
1.3.2. WORK PROCEDURE
1.3.2.1. Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimize the risk of a ammable gas or vapour being present while the
work is being performed.
1.3.3. 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 conned
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.
1.3.4. CHECKING FOR PRESENCE OF REFRIGERANT
1.3.4.1. The area shall 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. no sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
1.3.5. PRESENCE OF FIRE EXTINGUISHER
1.3.5.1. 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.
1.3.6. NO IGNITION SOURCES
1.3.6.1. 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 suciently 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.
1.3.7. VENTILATED AREA
1.3.7.1. 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.
1.3.8. CHECKS TO THE REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT
1.3.8.1. Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be t for the purpose and to the correct specication. At all times the
manufacturer’s maintenance and service guidelines shall be followed. If in doubt consult the manufacturer’s technical department for
assistance.
1.3.8.2. The following checks shall be applied to installations using ammable refrigerants:
9 The charge size is in accordance with the room size within which the refrigerant containing parts are installed.
9 The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not obstructed.
9 If an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuit shall be checked for the presence of refrigerant.
9 Marking to the equipment continues to be visible and legible. Markings and signs that are illegible shall be corrected.
9 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.
1.3.9. CHECKS TO ELECTRICAL DEVICES
1.3.9.1. 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 advised.
1.3.9.2. Initial safety checks shall include:
9 Those capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid possibility of sparking.
9 That there no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging, recovering or purging the system.
9 That there is continuity of earth bonding.
