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 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.
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 CO
2
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 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.
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.
(For using R290/R32 refrigerant only)

WARNING
8. Checks to the refrigeration equipment
• 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.
• 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 aected. This shall include damage to
cables, excessive number of connections, terminals not made to original specication, 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 specications.
(For using R290/R32 refrigerant only)
NOTE: The use of silicon sealant may inhibit the eectiveness of some types of leak detection equipment.
Intrinsically safe components do not have to be isolated prior to working on them.
5
WARNING
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 specied 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 eects. The check shall also take into account the eects 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 conrmed.
• 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.
• 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.
(For using R290/R32 refrigerant only)

WARNING
16. Charging procedures
• In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements should be followed. Ensure
that contamination of dierent 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 overll 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 overll 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.
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.
(For using R290/R32 refrigerant only)
7
WARNING
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 ammable 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 should be employed to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a
system, it should be carried out safely.
