| 8. 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 flammability is a consideration.

The following procedure shall be adhered to:

• remove refrigerant -> • purge the circuit with inert gas -> • evacuate -> • purge with inert gas -> • open the circuit by cutting. Brazing must not be used.

•   The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders.

•   The system shall be purged with OFN to render the appliances safe. (remark: OFN = oxygen free nitrogen, type of inert gas)

•   This process may need to be repeated several times.

•   Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for this task.

•   Purging shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with OFN and continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a vacuum.

•   This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the system. (Until the concentration of purge gas is 0.25 LFL or less by the leak detector). ø0.25LFL = 0.525Vol%

•   When the final 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 pipe work are to take place.

•   Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any potential ignition sources and there is ventilation available.

| 9. Charging procedures
