6. Information on servicing
a)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 conducting work on the system.
b)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.
c) 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.
d)Checking for presence of refrigerant
The area shall be checked with an
appropriate refrigerating detector prior
to and during work, to ensure the
technician is aware of 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.
e) Presence of fire extinguisher
If any hot work is to be conducted on the
refrigeration equipment or any
associated parts, appropriate fire
extinguishing equipment shall be
available to hand. Have a dry powder or
CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the
charging area.
f) No ignition sources
No person carrying out work in relation
to a refrigerating 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, during which
flammable refrigerant can possibly be
released to the surrounding space. Prior
to work taking place, the area around the
6
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
equipment is to be surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable hazards
or ignition risks. No Smoking signs shall be displayed.
g)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.
h) Checks to the refrigerating equipment
Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for the
purpose and to the correct specification. 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 flammable refrigerants: The actual
refrigerant charge 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;
Refrigerating 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.
i) 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.
7. Repairs to sealed components
a) 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.
b)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 manufacturer’s
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.
8. Repair to intrinsically safe components
Do not apply any permanent inductive or capacitance loads to the circuit
without
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
7
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.
9. 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.
10.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 systems
containing flammable refrigerants.
Electronic leak detectors shall be used to
detect flammable refrigerants, but 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. Leak detection fluids 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 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.
11. Removal and evacuation
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs or for any other
purposeconventional 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12.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 in an appropriate position according to the instructions. 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.
13. 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 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.
14. 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 flammable
refrigerant.
15. 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-off valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are
evacuated and, if possible, cooled before recovery occurs.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
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.

11 LOCATION & HOW IT WORKS
Location
How It Works
Selecting a Location
IMPORTANT:
1. Dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective.
Close all doors, windows, and other outside openings to the room. The
effectiveness of the dehumidifier depends on the rate at which new moisture-
laden air enters the room.
2. Place dehumidifier in a location that does not restrict the airflow of the
air intake and air outlet.
3. A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in
drying an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless there is
adequate circulation of air in and out of the area. lt may be necessary to
install a second dehumidifier in the enclosed area for satisfactory drying.
4. The dehumidifier must be installed on a level floor that will support it
with a full bucket of water.
5. There should be a minimum of 12 inches clearance around the dehumidifier.
The unit will produce heat while in operation and should not be operated in an
enclosed small space like a closet.
When the unit is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden air across the
dehumidifying coils. The coils condense or draw moisture from the air, and air
flows through the air outlet louvers into the room as dry, warm air. Moisture
removed from air is collected in a bucket on the front of the dehumidifier.
The unit is designed to operate between 41°F (5°C), and 89°F (32°C) and
between 30%(RH) and 80%(RH). The unit will not work properly if the
temperature is out of this temperature range, or the performance of the unit
will fall greatly.
The “Compressor” circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the
unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents overheating of the compressor
and possible circuit breaker tripping. Make sure the tank is fitted correctly
otherwise unit will not turn on.
