RULES FOR THE REPAIR OF EQUIPMENT CONTAINING R290 REFRIGERANT
ATTENTION! Service and repair of the device may only be performed by qualified persons.
1. GENERAL RULES
- Before starting repair work on equipment containing flammable refrigerant, it is mandatory to check the surroundings to ensure that there is no risk of If the refrigeration system is being repaired, the following precautions should be taken before starting work.
- Work procedure All repair work must be undertaken in accordance with strict procedures to minimize the risk of flammable gas or vapor escaping while the work is being carried
- Workplace All service technicians and other persons working in the vicinity must be instructed on the nature of the work to be Avoid working in confined spaces. The area around the workspace should be divided into parts. Ensure that the repair area is adequately maintained by inspecting combustible materials.
- Checking the presence of refrigerant
The work area should be checked with a suitable refrigerant detector before and during operation to ensure that the technician is aware of potentially flammable material escaping into the atmosphere. Make sure the leak recovery equipment you use is suitable for flammable refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, properly sealed or intrinsically safe.
- The presence of a fire extinguisher
If any high-temperature work is to be carried out on the refrigeration unit or its associated components, suitable extinguishing resources should be on hand: powder extinguisher or CO2 extinguisher.
- No sources of ignition
Anyone carrying out work on the refrigeration system that exposes piping containing flammable refrigerant must not use any sources of ignition in a way that could lead to a risk of fire or explosion. All possible sources of ignition, including smoking, should be far enough away from the installation, repair, removal and disposal site where flammable refrigerant can be released into the surrounding space. Before starting work, visually inspect the area around the equipment to make sure that there are no other flammable substances and no risk of ignition. No smoking signs should be posted in a prominent place.
- Adequate ambient ventilation Before starting repair work, make sure that the area where the repair work is to be carried out has ample space and is adequately Adequate ventilation must be maintained during the work. The ventilation should safely dissipate the released refrigerant and ideally expel it to the outside of the building.
- Refrigeration system check If electrical components are replaced, they must be properly matched to the purpose and specifications of the The manufacturer’s maintenance and service instructions must be followed at all times. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer’s technical department. For systems using flammable refrigerants, the following checks must be made:
- the area of the room is adequate to the amount of refrigerant in the device;
- ventilation devices and outlets are functioning properly and are not clogged;
- if an indirect refrigerant circuit is used, the secondary circuit – check for the presence of refrigerant;
- device markings are still visible and legible (if markings and signs are illegible, they should be corrected);
- the refrigerant pipe or refrigeration components are installed in a location that is not exposed to any substance that may corrode the components containing the refrigerant, unless the components are constructed of materials that are inherently corrosion resistant or are adequately protected against
- Control of electrical devices repair and maintenance of electrical parts should precede pre-safety check and parts If present defect that could jeopardize safety, then to circuit, do not connect the power supply until it will be satisfactorily resolved. If no faults can be fixed immediately, but it is necessary to proceed work, a suitable temporary solution must be used. This situation should be reported to the equipment owner so that all parties are informed of the actions taken.
Initial security checks include:
- discharge of capacitors: this must be done in a safe manner to avoid the possibility of sparks;
- that no live electrical components and wiring are exposed during charging, recovery, or cleaning of the system;
- that there is earth
2. REPAIR OF SEALED COMPONENTS
- When repairing sealed components, disconnect all power sources from the equipment being repaired before removing the sealed If it is absolutely necessary to supply power to the device during service, then a permanently operational form of leak detection should be present at the most critical point to alert you to a potentially dangerous situation.
- Particular attention should be paid to the following:
- make sure that when working on the electrical installation of components, the housing is not changed in such a way that the level of protection changes. This includes damaged cables, excessive number of connections, missing terminals, made to original specification, damaged seals, improperly fitting glands,
- Make sure the camera is securely attached. Make sure that the gaskets or sealing materials have not deteriorated to the point that they are no longer functional. Replacement parts must comply with the manufacturer’s
NOTE: The use of silicone sealant may reduce the effectiveness of some types of leak detectors. Intrinsically safe components do not need to be insulated before operation.
3. REPAIR OF INTRINSICALLY SAFE ELEMENTS
Do not apply any permanent inductive or capacitive loads to the circuit without making sure that it does not exceed the voltage and current ratings allowed for the equipment you are using. Intrinsically safe components are the only types of components that can be serviced in the presence of a flammable atmosphere. Replace components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts may cause refrigerant leakage.
4. WIRING
Check that the wiring is not exposed to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure,
vibration, sharp edges or other adverse environmental influences. Inspection
should also take into account wear or constant vibration from sources such as
compressors or fans.
5. REFRIGERANT DETECTION
Under no circumstances should potential sources of ignition be used to search for or detect refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other open flame detector) may not be used.
6. LEAK DETECTION METHODS
The following leak detection methods are considered acceptable for systems
containing flammable refrigerants. Electronic leak detectors should be used to
detect flammable refrigerants, but sensitivity may not be sufficient or may
require recalibration.
(Detection equipment should be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area.) Ensure
that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for
the refrigerant being used.
Leak detection equipment should be set to the LFL percentage of the
refrigerant and should be calibrated to the refrigerant used and the
appropriate gas percentage (25% maximum) confirmed. Leak detection fluids are
suitable for use with most refrigerants, but detergents containing chlorine
should be avoided as chlorine can react with the refrigerant and corrode
copper pipes. If a leak is suspected, all naked flames must be
removed/extinguished. If a refrigerant leak is found that requires brazing,
all refrigerant must be recovered from the system or isolated (by means of
shut-off valves) in the part of the system away from the leak. Oxygen-free
nitrogen (OFN) is then purged through the system – both before and during the
brazing process.
7. REFRIGERANT REMOVAL
Ventilation procedures must be used when the refrigerant circuit is breached for repair – or otherwise. However, it is important to follow safety rules, since flammability is possible. Follow the procedure below:
- remove the refrigerant;
- purge the circuit with inert gas;
- take a break;
- purge again with inert gas;
- open the circuit by cutting or soldering.
The amount of refrigerant must be recovered to the appropriate cylinders. The system must be “flushed” with OFN to keep the device safe. This process may need to be repeated several times. Do not use compressed air or oxygen for this task. Rinsing should be achieved by breaking the vacuum in an OFN system and continuing to fill until working pressure is reached, then venting to atmosphere and finally lowering to vacuum. This process should be repeated until there will be no refrigerant in the system. If a final charge of OFN is used, the system should be vented to atmospheric pressure to allow work to be carried out. This operation is absolutely essential if brazing is to be carried out on the pipelines. Make sure that the outlet of the vacuum pump is away from sources of ignition and that ventilation of the working area is available.
8. CHARGING PROCEDURE
In addition to the general charging rules, the following requirements must be observed.
- Ensure that various refrigerants will not be contaminated when using the charging Keep hoses or lines as short as possible to minimize the amount of refrigerant they contain.
- Cylinders must be kept in an upright
- Make sure the refrigeration system is grounded before charging the system with
- Tag the system after loading is complete (if not already flagged).
- Be careful not to overfill the refrigeration system. Pressure test with OFN must be performed before recharging the system. The system should be tested for leaks after charging is complete but before Another leak test must be performed before leaving this site.
9. DISASSEMBLY
Before performing this procedure, it is important that the technician is fully familiar with the equipment and all the details. It is recommended that all refrigerants be safely recovered. Before performing the task, an oil and refrigerant sample should be taken in case analysis is required before reusing the recovered refrigerant. It is essential that electrical power is available before starting the job.
- Familiarize yourself with the equipment and its operation
- Due to the flammability of R290 refrigerant, protect the electrical system of the appliance well
- Before starting the procedure, make sure that:
- mechanical handling facilities are available to handle refrigerant cylinders if required;
- all personal protective equipment is available and used correctly;
- the recovery process is always supervised by a competent person;
- recovery equipment and cylinders comply with the relevant
- Pump down the refrigeration system if
- If vacuum is not possible, a manifold must be made to allow the removal of refrigerant from various parts of the
- Make sure the cylinder is on the scale before
- Start the recovery machine and follow the manufacturer’s
- Do not overfill the (Not more than 80% liquid load by volume).
- Do not exceed the cylinder’s maximum working pressure, even
- After filling the cylinder correctly and completing the process, make sure that they will be removed immediately and the valves will be
- Reclaimed refrigerant must not be charged to another refrigeration system unless it has been cleaned and
10. MARKING
Equipment should be marked with a notice that it has been taken out of service and emptied of refrigerant. The label should be dated and signed. Make sure there are labels on the unit indicating that the unit contains flammable refrigerant.
11. REFRIGERANT RECOVERY
When removing refrigerant from the system for service or decommissioning, be sure to follow safety precautions when disposing of all refrigerants. When transferring refrigerant to cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders are used. Make sure enough cylinders are available to hold the total system charge. All cylinders to be used are for and marked with reclaimed refrigerant (i.e. special refrigerant recovery cylinders). Cylinders should be complete with pressure relief valve and associated shut-off valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are emptied and, if possible, cooled before recovery. Recovery equipment must be in good working order with a complete set of equipment manuals on hand and should be suitable for recovering flammable refrigerants. In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales should be available and operational. Hoses should be complete with non-leaking disconnect couplings and in good condition. Before using the recovery machine, check that it is in good working order, that it has been properly maintained and that all related 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 cylinder and with the appropriate waste transfer document. Do not mix refrigerants when recovering the unit, especially not in cylinders. If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been drained to an acceptable level to ensure that no flammable refrigerant remains in the lubricant. The evacuation process must be completed before the compressor is returned to suppliers. To speed up this process, only electric heating should be applied to the compressor body. Draining the oil from the system must be done safely.
