INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPAIRING APPLIANCES CONTAINING R290 / R32
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This instruction manual is intended for use by individuals possessing adequate
backgrounds of electrical, electronic, refrigerant and mechanical experience.
1.1 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 minimised. For
repair to the refrigerating system, the following precautions shall be
complied with prior to conducting work on the system.
1.2 Work procedure
Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise the
risk of a flammable gas or vapour being present while the work is being
performed.
1.3 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 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.
1.4 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. nonsparking, adequately sealed or
intrinsically safe.
1.5 Presence of fire extinguisher
lf any hotwork is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any
associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be available
to hand. Have a dry powder or CO 2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging
area.
1.6 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 worktaking 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.
1.7 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
extemally into the atmosphere.
1.8 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. lf in doubt consult the
manufacturer’s
technical department for assistance. The following checks 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;
- 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 are illegible shall 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 suitably protected against being so corroded.
1. 9 Checks to electrical devices
Repair and maintenance to electrical components shall include initial safety
checks and component inspection procedures. lf a fault exists that could
compromise safety, then no electrical supply shall be connected to the circuit
until it is satisfactorily dealt with. lf 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. lnitial 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 wiring are exposed while charging, recovering or purging the system;
- that there is continuity of earth bonding.
REPAIRS TO SEALED COMPONENTS
2.1 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. lf 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.
2.2 Particular attention shall be paid to the following to ensure that by
working on electrical components, the casing is not altered in such a way that
the level of protection is affected. This shall include damage to cables,
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 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. lntrinsically 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 this will not exceed the permissible voltage and current
permitted tor the equipment in use. lntrinsically safe components are the only
types that can be worked on while live in the presence of a flammable
atmosphere. The test apparatus shall be at the correct rating.
Replace components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. 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 continua! vibration from
sources
such as compressors or fans.
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.
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 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
confirmed.
Leak detection fluids 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 pipework.
lf a leak is suspected, all open flames shall be removed/extinguished.
lf 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 – 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 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 pipework are to take place.
Ensure that the outlet tor the vacuum pump is not close to any ignition
sources and !here 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 minimise 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.
DECOMMISSIONING
Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician is
completely familiar with the equipment and all its detail. lt 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. lt is essential
that 4 GB electrical power is available before the task is commenced.
a) Become familiar with the equipment and its operation.
b) lsolate system electrically.
c) Before attempting the procedure ensure that: mechanical handling equipment
is available, if required, for handling refrigerant cylinders;
d) All personal protective equipment is available and being used correctly;
the recovery process is supervised at all times by a competent person;
e) recovery equipment and cylinders conform to the appropriate standards.
f) Pump down refrigerant system, if possible. g) lf a vacuum is not possible,
make a manifold so that refrigerant can be removed from various parts of the
system. h) Make sure that cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery
takes place.
i) Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with manufacturer’s
instructions.
j) Do not overfill cylinders. (No more than 80 % volume liquid charge).
k) Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even
temporarily.
l) 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. m) Recovered
refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system unless it
has been cleaned and checked.
LABELLING
Equipment shall be labelled 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.
RECOVERY
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, il 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 for holding the total system charge are available. All cylinders to be used are designated for the recovered refrigerant and labelled 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 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 in good condition. Before using the recovery machine, check that il 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 if 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. lf 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 healing to the compressor body shall be employed to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a system, il shall be carried out safely.

SMART SCENES
Smart Scenes is a powerful tool providing the option to customise the operation of the air conditioner based both on conditions within the room and outside influences. This gives the user the option of specifying much more intelligent actions. These are split into two categories Scene and Automation.
SCENE
Scene allows for a one touch button to be added to the Home screen. The button can be used to change a number of settings in one go, and can change all the settings within the unit. A number of scenes can easily be setup, allowing the user to easily change between a number of preset configurations.
Below is an example of how to set up a scene:
AUTOMATION
Automation allows an automatic action to be set up for the device. This can be
triggered by the Time, indoor temperature, humidity of the room, weather
conditions, and a range of other influences.
PROFILE TAB
The profile tab gives you the option to edit both your detail, and use the
added features of the unit.
CHANGING THE NAME OF YOUR DEVICE
When in any of the device screens further settings for the device can be
accessed, by pressing on the three dots in the top right hand corner. The top
option within this allows you to change the name of the device to something
relevant to the use of the product, such as “Living Room Air Conditioner”.
Within the menu, you also have the option of setting up a pattern lock or
change your password.
DEVICE SHARING
This allows you to share access to the controls of your air conditioner with
friends and family.
INTEGRATION
This allows the unit to be integrated with your favourite home automation
hardware such as Google Home and the Amazon Echo.
