   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.

4. Checking for 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 flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak
   detection equipment being used is suitable for use with flammable refrigerants, i.e. nonspeaking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.

5. Presence of fire extinguisher
   If any work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or amy associated parts,
   appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging 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 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 equipment is to be surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable 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 preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere.

8. Checks to the refrigeration 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 check shall be applied to installations using flammable refrigerants:
   –the charge size is in accordance with the room size within which the refrigerant containing parts are installed;
   –If an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuit shall be checked for the presence of any refrigerant. Any markings to the equipment must be visible and readable . Markings and signs that are unrecognizable must be corrected;

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 there no live electrical components and wring are exposed while charging, recovering or purging the system;
   –that there is continuity of earth bonding.

7. Repairs to sealed components
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.

Particular attention shall be paid to the following to ensure that by working in electrical components, the casing is not altered in such a way that level of protection is affected. This shall include damage to cables, excessive numble of connection, terminals not made to original specification, damage to seals, incorrect fitting of glands, etc.

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 ensuring that
this will not exceed the permissible voltage and current permitted for the equipment in use.

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 leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame)
shall not be used

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.

11. Leak detection methods
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- calibrated.(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 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 both before and during the brazing process.

12. 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 atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a vacuum. This processing 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. Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any ignition sources
and there is ventilation available.

13. 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 is 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.

14. 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
is 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 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 manufacturer’s 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.

15. Labeling
Equipment shall be labeled 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.

16. Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is
recommended good practice that all 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 are available. All cylinders to be used are designated for the
recovered refrigerant and labeled 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.

The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set 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 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 of 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 drained form a system, it shall be carried out safely.

6. STEPS BEFORE USE

A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in an adjacent enclosed
storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out of the area.
Do not use outdoors. This dehumidifier is intended for indoor residential use only.

Place the unit away from the clothes dryer, heater or radiator. Use the unit to prevent moisture
damage anywhere books or valuables are stored. Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help
prevent moisture damage. The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most
effective. Close all doors, windows and other openings to the room.

Upon initial use of the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously 24 hours. Make sure the plastic cover on the continuous drain hose outlet is installed tightly to avoid possible leaks. If the unit has been switched off and needs to be switched on again in a short period of time, allow approximately three minutes before acting as such.
Do not connect the dehumidifier to a multiple power socket outlet, which is also being in use
with other electrical appliances.
Select a suitable location, making sure you have easy access to an electrical power outlet.
Plug the unit into an electric socket-outlet with proper grounding.
