Information on servicing

  1. Checks to the area
    Before starting any work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimised. For repairs to the refrigerating system, the following precautions must be taken with before starting work on the system.

  2. Work procedure
    Work must follow a controlled procedure to minimise the risk flammable gas or vapour being present while the work is in progress.

  3. General work area
    All maintenance staff and others working in the vicinity of the product must be instructed on the nature of work being carried out. Work in confined spaces must be avoided. The area around the workspace must be sectioned off. Ensure that the conditions within the area have been made safe by checking for flammable materials.

  4. Checking for the presence of refrigerant
    The area must be checked using an appropriate refrigerant detector before and during work, to ensure that the technician is aware of any 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.

  5. Fire extinguishers
    If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts, appropriate fire ex-tinguishing equipment must be available. Keep a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.

  6. No ignition sources
    Anyone carrying out work on a refrigeration system that involves exposing any pipework that contains or has contained flammable refrigerants must not use any sources of ignition in such a manner that there is potential risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the site of installation, repair work, removal and disposal as flammable refrigerant may be released into the surrounding atmosphere. Before any work takes place, the area around the equipment must be surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks. No Smoking signs must be displayed.

  7. Ventilated area
    Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before opening the system or conducting any hot work. Some ventilation must be provided while the work is in progress. The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and, ideally expel it to the atmosphere outdoors.

  8. Checking the refrigeration equipment
    Electrical components that are being replaced must be fit for the purpose and to the correct specification. The manufacturer’s maintenance and service guidelines must be followed at all times. If in doubt consult the manufactu- rer’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 system 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 refrige-rant;
    • The labelling of the equipment is still visible and legible. Labels and signs that are illegible must be replaced;
    • Refrigeration pipes or components are installed in a location where they are unlikely to be exposed to any sub-stance which may corrode components containing refrigerant, unless the components are made of materials which are inherently resistant to corrosion or are suitably protected against corrosion.
  9. Checking electrical devices
    Repair and maintenance of electrical components must include initial safety checks and component inspection procedures. If there is a fault that could compromise safety, no power supply may be connected to the circuit until the fault has been corrected. If the fault cannot be corrected immediately but continuing operation necessary, an adequate temporary solution must be used. This must be reported to the owner of the equipment so that all parties are advised.
    Initial safety checks must include:

    • Discharge of capacitors: this must be done in a safe manner to prevent sparking;
    • Ensuring that there are no live electrical components or wiring exposed while charging, recovering or purging the system;
    • That there is continuity of earth bonding.

Repairs to sealed components

  1. When repairing sealed components, all power supplies must be disconnected from the equipment being worked upon before any removal of sealed covers, etc. If it is absolutely necessary to maintain a power supply to equip-ment during servicing, a permanently operating form of leak detection must be located at the most critical point to provide a prior warning of any potentially hazardous situation.
  2. Particular attention must be paid to the following to ensure that working on electrical components does not result in alteration of the casing is in such a way that the level of protection is affected.This must include damage to cables, excessive number of connections, terminals not made to original specification, damage to seals, incorrect fitting of cable glands, etc. Ensure that apparatus is mounted securely. Ensure that seals or sealing materials have not degraded such that they no longer prevent the ingress of flammable atmospheres. Replacement parts must be in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.
    NOTE: The use of silicon sealant may inhibit the effectiveness of some types of leak detection equipment. Intrinsi-cally safe components do not have to be isolated prior to working on them.

Repairing 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 must be at the correct rating. Replace components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts may result in the ignition of leaked refrigerant in the atmosphere.

Cabling
Check that cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges, or any other adverse environmental effects. The check must also take into account the effects of aging or constant vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.

Detection of flammable refrigerants
Under no circumstances should potential sources of ignition be used when searching for or detecting refrigerant leaks. Halide torches (or any other detector use naked flames) must not be used.

Leak detection methods
The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for systems containing flammable refrigerants. Electronic leak detectors may be used to detect flammable refrigerants, but the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may need re-calibration. (Detection equipment must be calibrated in a refrigerant- free area.) Ensure that the de-tector 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 must be calibrated to the refrigerant used and the appropriate percentage of gas (25 % maximum) must be confirmed. Leak detection fluids are suitable for use with most refrigerants, but the use of detergents containing chlorine must be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipework. If a leak is suspected, all naked flames must be removed / extinguished. If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the refrigerant must be recovered from the system or isolated (by means of shut-off valves) in a part of the system not affected by the leak. Oxygen- free-nitrogen (OFN) must then be passed through the system both before and during the brazing process.

Removal and evacuation
Conventional procedures must be used when accessing the refrigerant circuit for repairs or any other purpose. However, it is important that best practice is followed since flammability must be considered. The following procedu-re must be adhered to:

  • Remove the refrigerant;
  • Purge the circuit with inert gas;
  • Evacuate the circuit;
  • Purge again with inert gas;
  • Open the circuit by cutting or brazing.
    The refrigerant charge must be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders. The system must be flushed with OFN to render the unit safe. This process may need to be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen must not be used for this task. Flushing must be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system using OFN and continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to the atmosphere, and finally reducing to a vacuum pressure. This process must be repeated until there is no refrigerant left in the system. When the final OFN charge is used, the system must be ventilated to atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place. This operation is absolutely vital if brazing operations are to take place on the pipework. Ensure that the power socket for the vacuum pump is not close to any ignition sources and that there is ventilation available.

Charging procedures
In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements must be met.

  • Ensure that there is no contamination of different refrigerants when using charging equipment. Hoses or lines must be as short as possible to minimise the amount of refrigerant contained in them.
  • Cylinders must be kept upright.
  • Ensure that the refrigeration system is earthed prior to charging the system with refrigerant.
  • Label the system when charging is complete (unless it is already labelled).
  • Extreme care must be taken not to overfill the refrigeration system.
    The system must be pressure-tested using OFN prior to recharging. The system must be tested for leaks on com-pletion of charging but prior to commissioning. A follow-up leak test must 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 details. It is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are recovered safely. Prior to the task being carried out, an oil and refrigerant sample must be taken in case analysis is required prior to reuse of reclaimed refrigerant. It is essential that electricity is available before starting the task.

  • Familiarise yourself with the equipment and its operation.
  • Isolate the system electrically.
  • Before attempting the procedure ensure that:
    • Mechanical 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.
  • 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 the cylinder is placed on the scales before recovery takes place.
  • Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Do not overfill cylinders. (No more than 80 % liquid charge by volume).
  • Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily.
  • When the cylinders have been filled correctly and the process completed, make sure that the cylinders and the equipment are removed from the site promptly and that all isolation valves on the equipment are closed off.
  • Recovered refrigerant must not be charged into another refrigeration system unless it has been cleaned and checked.

Labelling
Equipment must be labelled stating that it has been decommissioned and emptied of refrigerant. The label must be dated and signed. Ensure that there are labels on the equipment stating the equipment contains flammable refrigerant.

Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, ensuring that all refrigerants are removed safely is recommended good practice.
When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders are used. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding the total system charge are available. All cylinders to be used must be designated for the recovered refrigerant and labelled for that refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders must be complete with pressure relief valves and associated shut-off valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if possible, cooled before recovery occurs. The recovery equipment must be in good working order with instructions concerning the equipment being used and must be suitable for the recovery of flammable refrigerants. A set of calibrated weighing scales must also be available and in good working order. Hoses must 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. If in doubt consult the manufacturer. The recovered refrigerant must 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 ensure that flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant. The evacuation process must be carried out prior to returning the compressor to the supplier. Only electric heating to the compressor body shall be used to accelerate this process. Oil must be drained from systems safely.
