Information on servicing

1. Checks to the area : Prior to beginning work on systems containing fl amiable refrigerants, safety
   checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimized. For repair to the refrigerating
   system, the following precautions shall be complied with prior to conducting work on the system.

2. Work procedure : Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimize the risk of a fl amiable gas or vapor being present while the work is being performed.

3. 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 confit need spaces shall be avoided. The area around the work space shall be sectioned off. Ensure that the conditions within the work area have been made safe by removing all fl amiable material.

4. Checking for the 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 amiable
   atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with fl amiable
   refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately sealed and intrinsically safe.

5. Presence of fi re extinguisher : If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts, appropriate fi re extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry powder or C02 fi re extinguisher adjacent to the work area.

6. 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 amiable refrigerant shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead to risk of fi re or explosion. All possible ignition sources including cigarette smoking, should be kept suffix cogently far away from the site of installation, repairing, removing and disposal during which fl amiable 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 there are no fl amiable hazards or ignition risks. No smoking signs shall be displayed.

7. 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
   preferable expel it externally into the atmosphere.

8. Checks to the refrigeration equipment : Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fi t for the purpose and to the correct specific cation. At all times manufacturer’saintenance 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 flu amiable 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 become illegible must 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
   • suitable protected against being corroded.

9. 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 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

1. 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.

2. To ensure that by working on electrical components the casing is not altered in such a way that the level of protection is affected, particular attention shall be paid to the following:

   • Damage to cables, excessive number of connections, terminals not made to original specific cation, damage to seals, incorrect fi toting of glands, etc.
   • Ensure the 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 fl amiable atmospheres. Replacement parts shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s specific 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 twill not exceed the permissible voltage and current permitted for the equipment in use. Intrinsically subcomponents are the only types that can be worked on while live in the presence of a fl amiable atmosphere. The test apparatus shall be at the correct rating. Replace components only with parts specific edh by tnufacturer. 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 fl amiable 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 flu amen shall not be used.

Leak detection methods

The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for systems containing fl amiable refrigerant

• Electronic leak detectors shall be used to detect fl amiable 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
  confit rimed.

• Leak detection fl urid’s 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 or
  pipe-work.

• If a leak is suspected, all naked fl ames shall be removed or 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 convention procedures shall be used. However, it is important that the best practice is followed since flu amiability is a consideration. The following procedures 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 nil OFN charge is used, the system shall be vented down to atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place. This
  operation is absolutely vital is brazing operations on the pipe-work 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 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 labeled.

• Extreme care shall be taken not to overfi ll 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 in 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 the 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 is completed, make sure that the cylinders
and the equipment are removed from the 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.

Labeling

Equipment shall be labeled stating that it has been decommissioned and emptied of refrigerant. The label
shall be dated and signed. Ensure that there are labels on the equipment stating the equipment contains
fl amiable 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 recovers cylinders are
employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding the total system charge are available.
All cylinders to be used are designed for the recovered refrigerant and labeled for that refrigerant, i.e.pecial cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant. Cylinders shall be complete with pressure relief valve an 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 amiable refrigerants. In addition, a set ofalibrated 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 is it satisfactory working order, has been properly maintained and that any associated electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition in the event of a refrigerant leak. Consult the 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 shall be 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 amiable 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 form a system, it shall be carried out safely.
