• information on servicing

1. Checks 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 must be complied with prior to conducting work on the system.

2. Work procedure
   Work must follow a controlled procedure to minimize the risk of flammable 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 must be informed about the nature of the work being carried out. Work in confined spaces must be avoided. The area around the workspace must be cordoned off. Ensure that the conditions within the area have been made safe by checking for flammable material.

4. Checking for the presence of refrigerant
   The area must 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. non-sparking, adequately sealed, or intrinsically safe.

5. Presence of a fire extinguisher
   If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment must 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 that involves exposing any pipework that contains or has contained flammable refrigerant may 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, repair, removal, and disposal while flammable refrigerant could possibly be released into the surrounding space. Prior to work taking place, the area around the equipment should be surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks. No Smoking signs must 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 must be provided throughout 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 replaced, they must be fit for the purpose and to the correct specification. The manufacturer’s maintenance and service guidelines must be followed at all times. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer’s technical department for assistance.
   The following checks must be carried out for installations that use flammable 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 must be checked for the presence of refrigerant;
   Markings on the equipment remain visible and legible. Markings and signs that are illegible must be rectified; Refrigeration pipes or components are installed in a position where they are unlikely to be exposed to any substance that may corrode refrigerant-containing components unless the components are constructed of materials that are inherently resistant to corrosion or are suitably protected against corrosion.

9. Checks for electrical devices
   Repair and maintenance of electrical components must include initial safety checks and component inspection procedures. If a fault exists that could compromise the safety, then no electrical supply may 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 must be used. This must be reported to the owner of the equipment so all parties are aware of it. Initial safety checks must include: Discharging of capacitors: this must be done in a safe manner to avoid the possibility of sparking; Ensuring that no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging, recovering, or purging the system; Continuity check for earth bonding.

• Repairs sealed components
  (1) During repairs to sealed components, all electrical supplies must be disconnected from the equipment that is being worked upon prior to any removal of sealed covers, etc. If it is absolutely necessary to provide an electrical supply to equipment during servicing, then a continuous means of leak detection must be provided at the most critical point, to warn of a potentially hazardous situation.
  (2) Particular attention must be given to the following to ensure that when work is carried out on electrical components, the casing is not altered in a way that reduces the level of protection. This includes damage to cables, an excessive number of connections, terminals not made to original specification, damage to seals, incorrect fitting of glands, etc. Ensure that 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 flammable atmospheres. Replacement parts must comply with the manufacturer’s specifications.
  NOTE: The use of silicone 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 capacitive loads to the circuit without ensuring that this will not exceed the permissible voltage and currently permitted for the equipment in use. Intrinsically safe components are the only types that can be worked on while living in the presence of a flammable atmosphere. The test apparatus must have the correct rating. Only replace components with parts specified by the manufacturer. Any 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. These checks must also take into account the effects of ageing or continual vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.

• Detection of flammable refrigerants
  Under no circumstances may potential sources of ignition be used when searching or detecting for refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) must not be used.

• Leak detection methods
  The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for systems containing flammable refrigerants. Electronic leak detectors may be used to detect flammable refrigerants, but the sensitivity may not be adequate or may need re-calibration. (Detection equipment must 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 must be set at a percentage of the LFL of the refrigerant and must be calibrated for the refrigerant employed and the appropriate percentage of gas (25% maximum) must be confirmed. Leak detection fluids are suitable for use with most refrigerants but the use of detergents containing chlorine must be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipe-work. If a leak is suspected, all naked flames must be removed/extinguished. If leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all the refrigerant must 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) must 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, conventional procedures must be used. However, it is important that best practice is followed since flammability is a consideration. The following procedure must 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 must be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders. The system must be flushed with OFN to render the unit safe.
  This process may need to be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen must not be used for this task.
  Flushing must be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with OFN and continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved, the venting to the atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a vacuum. This process must be repeated until no refrigerant remains within the system. When the final OFN charge is used, the system must 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 that ventilation is provided.

• Charging procedures
  In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements must be followed. Ensure that contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using charging equipment. Hoses or lines must be kept as short as possible to minimize the amount of refrigerant contained in them. Cylinders must 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 must be taken not to overfill the refrigeration system. Prior to recharging the system, it must be pressure-tested with OFN. The system must be leak-tested on completion of charging prior to commissioning. A follow-up leak test must 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 and all its details. It is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are recovered safely. Prior to the task being carried out, an oil and refrigerant sample must 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 the 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 the 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 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 the site promptly and all isolation valves on the equipment are closed off.
  k) Recovered refrigerant must not be charged into another refrigeration system unless it has been cleaned and checked.

• Labeling
  Equipment must be labeled, stating that it has been de-commissioned and emptied of refrigerant. The label must be dated and signed. Ensure that there are labels on the equipment stating that the equipment contains flammable refrigerant.

• Recovery
  When removing refrigerants 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 recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders are available to hold the total system charge. All cylinders that are used must be designated for the recovered refrigerant and labeled for that refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders must be complete with a 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 must be in good working order with a set of instructions concerning the equipment that is at hand and must be suitable for the recovery of flammable refrigerants. In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales must be available and in good working order. Hoses must be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and in 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 the manufacturer if in doubt.
  The recovered refrigerant must 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 must be carried out prior to returning the compressor to the suppliers. Only electric heating of the compressor body may be employed to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a system, it must be carried out safely.
