GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 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
con-ducting work on the system.
1.2 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.
1.3 General work area
All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed 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.
1.4 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 tection equipment being used is suitable for use with flammable
refrigerants, i.e. nonsparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
1.5 Presence of fire extinguisher
If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated
parts, propriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry
powder or CO 2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.
1.6 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,
ENGLISH
10
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.
1.7 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.
1.8 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 manufacturerʼs maintenance and service
guidelines shall be followed. If in doubt consult the manufacturerʼs 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.
1.9 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 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.
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.
REPAIRS TO SEALED COMPONENTS
2.1 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,
ENGLISH
11
then a permanently operating form of leak detection shall be located at the most
critical point to warn of a potentially hazardous situation.
2.2 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 protection 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
manufacturerʼs specifications.
NOTE The use of silicon sealant may inhibit the effectiveness of some types of leak
detection equipment. Intrinsically safe components do not have to be isolated prior to
working on them.
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.
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.
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.
The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for all refrigerant systems.
Electronic leak detectors may be used to detect refrigerant leaks but, in the case of
FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS, 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.
ENGLISH
12
Leak detection fluids are also 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.
NOTE Examples of leak detection fluids are
– bubble method,
– fluorescent method agents.
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. Removal of refrigerant shall be according to (Removal
and evacuation).
REMOVAL AND EVACUATION
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs – or for any other purpose –
conventional procedures shall be used. However, for flammable refrigerants it is
important that best practice be followed, since flammability is a consideration. The
following procedure shall be adhered to:
a) safely remove refrigerant following local and national regulations;
b) purge the circuit with inert gas;
c) evacuate (optional for A2L);
d) purge with inert gas (optional for A2L);
e) open the circuit by cutting or brazing.
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders if venting
is not allowed by local and national codes. For appliances containing flammable
refrigerants, the system shall be purged with oxygen-free nitrogen to render the
appliance safe for flammable refrigerants. This process might need to be repeated
several times. Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for purging refrigerant systems.
For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, refrigerants purging shall be
achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with oxygen-free nitrogen and
continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere,
and finally pulling down to a vacuum (optional for A2L). This process shall be repeated
until no refrigerant is within the system (optional for A2L). When the final oxygen-free
nitrogen charge is used, the system shall be vented down to atmospheric pressure to
enable work to take place.
Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any potential ignition
sources and that ventilation is available.
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.
ENGLISH
13
- 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.
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 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 cylinders; 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 recovery 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 equipment are closed off.
k) Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system unless
it has been cleaned and checked.
LABELLING
Equipment shall be labelled stating that it has been decommissioned 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.
ENGLISH
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 are 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-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 this process.When oil is drained from a system,
it shall be carried out safely.
