Additionally, the following indications concerning appliances containing refrigerant R290 need to be followed:
- Do not damage the refrigerant circuit. Escaping refrigerant can catch fire.
- In case of escaping refrigerant, keep any kind of open fire sources well away and ventilate the room thoroughly.
- Turn off the appliance immediately.

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. 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 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 “flushed” 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 fill until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to the atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a vacuum. This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the system. 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.
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 minimize 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.
- Only set up the device in a room in which there is no source of ignition present (e.g. open flames, a gas appliance or an electric heater).
- Do not pierce or burn.
- Every person working with or at the refrigerant circuit must be able to provide a certificate of qualification issued by a body accredited by the industry, demonstrating their competence in the safe use of refrigerants based on a procedure well-known in the industry.
- Service work may only be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications. If maintenance and repair work requires the support of additional persons, the person trained in handling flammable refrigerants shall continuously supervise the work carried out.
