1. BEFORE YOU BEGIN

1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Our powerful portable air conditioners are great cooling solutions for single rooms, creating a comfortable atmosphere in your space. It also has ventilation and dehumidifying function for circulating air and removal of moisture. They’re self-contained systems that do not require any permanent installation allowing you to move to the space where it is most needed. They’re commonly used in kitchen, temporary residences, computer rooms, garages, and many other places where the installation of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is restricted. The environmentally friendly R290 is used as the refrigerant. R290 has no destructive influence on the ozone layer (ODP), the greenhouse effect (GWP) it brings is negligible, and it can be used on a global scale. Because of its efficient energy properties, R290 is highly suitable as a coolant for this application. Special precautions must be taken into consideration due to the coolant’s high flammability.

2.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ON SERVICING

Please follow these warnings when to undertake the following when servicing an appliance with R290.

2.2.1 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 minimized. For repair to the refrigerating system, the following precautions should be complied with prior to conducting work on the system.

2.2.2 Work procedure

Work should be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimize the risk of a flammable gas or vapor being present while the work is being performed.

2.2.3 General work area

All maintenance staff and others working in the local area should be instructed on the nature of work being carried out. Work in confined spaces should be avoided. The area around the work space should be sectioned off. Ensure that the conditions within the area have been made safe by control of flammable material.

2.2.4 Checking for presence of refrigerant

The area should be checked with an appropriate refrigerant 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. no sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.

2.2.5 Presence of fire extinguisher

If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment should be available on hand. Have a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.

2.2.6 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 flammable refrigerant should 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 equipment is to be surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks. “No Smoking” signs should be displayed.

2.2.7 Ventilated area

Ensure that the area is open or adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting any hot work. A certain degree of ventilation should be maintained during the period that the work is carried out. The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant, preferably expel it outside to the atmosphere.

2.2.8 Checks to the refrigeration equipment

When replacing electrical components, they should be suitable for the purpose and meet the correct specification. The manufacturer’s maintenance and service guidelines should always be followed. If in doubt, please consult the qualified technician for assistance.
The following checks should be applied to installations using flammable refrigerants:
– The charge size is in accordance with the size of the room where the refrigerant components are installed;
– Ventilation equipment and outlets are operating adequately and are not obstructed;
– If an indirect refrigerating circuit is used, the secondary circuit should be checked for the presence of refrigerant;
– Marking to the equipment continues to be visible and legible. Markings and signs that are illegible should be corrected;
– Refrigeration piping or components are installed in a position where they are unlikely to be exposed to any substances that may corrode refrigerant containing components, unless the components are constructed of materials with inherent corrosion resistance or are properly protected against corrosion.

2.2.9 Checks to electrical devices

The repair and maintenance to electrical components should include initial safety checks and component inspection procedures. If there is a fault that may endanger safety, the power supply must not be connected to the circuit until it has been handled satisfactorily. If the fault cannot be corrected immediately, but operation needs to be continued, an adequate temporary solution should be used. This should be reported to the owner of the equipment so all parties are advised.
Initial safety checks should include:
– Those capacitors are discharged: this should be done in a safe manner to avoid the possibility of sparks;
– When charging, restoring or purging the system, no live electrical components and wires are exposed;
– Continuity of the ground connection.

| Install the unit in rooms which exceed 13 m².
Do not install the unit in a place where inflammable gas may leak.
