INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPAIRING APPLIANCES CONTAINING R290
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Checks to the area
Prior to beginning work on systems containing fl ammable 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.
Work procedure
Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise the
risk of a fl ammable gas or vapour being present while the work is being
performed.
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 confi ned 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.
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 fl ammable
atmospheres. Ensure that the leak tection equipment being used is suitable for
use with fl ammable refrigerants, i.e. nonsparking, adequately sealed or
intrinsically safe.
Presence of fire extinguisher
If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any
associated parts, propriate fi re extinguishing equipment shall be available to
hand. Have a dry powder or CO 2 fi re extinguisher adjacent to the charging
area.
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 fl ammable
refrigerant shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may
lead to the risk of fi re or explosion. All possible ignition sources,
including igarette smoking, should be kept suffi ciently far away from the site
of installation, repairing, removing and disposal, during which fl 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 fl ammable hazards or ignition risks. “No Smoking” signs
shall be displayed.
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.
Checks to the refrigeration equipment
Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fi t for the
purpose and to the correct specifi 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 fl 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 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.
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
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 affected.
This shall include damage to cables, excessive number of connections,
terminals not made to original specifi cation, damage to seals, incorrect fi
tting 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 manufacturer’s specifi cations.
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 specifi ed 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 fl ame) shall not be used.
LEAK DETECTION METHODS
The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for systems
containing flammable refrigerants. Electronic leak detectors shall be used to
detect fl ammable refrigerants, but the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may
need recalibration. (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
confi rmed. Leak detection fl 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 pipe-work. If a leak is
suspected, all naked fl ames 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. Oxygen free nitrogen (OFN) shall then be
purged through the system both before and during the brazing process.
REMOVAL AND EVACUATION
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs – or for any other
purpose – con- ventional procedures shall be used.However, it is important
that best practice is followed since flammability is a consideration. 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 shall be recovered into the correct
recovery cylinders. The system shall be “fl 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 shall be achieved by breaking
the vacuum in the system with OFN and continuing to fi ll until the working
pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere, and fi nally pulling down to
a vacuum. This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the
system. When the fi 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.
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.
- 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 overfi ll 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 fi lled 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 de-commissioned and
emptied of refrigerant.The label shall be dated and signed.
Ensure that there are labels on the equipment stating the equipment contains fl
ammable refrigerant.
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 fl 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 fl 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 shall be employed to accelerate this
process.When oil is drained from a system,it shall be carried out safely.
