1.  Transport of equipment containing flammable refrigerants

   • Compliance with the transport regulations.

2. Marking of equipment using signs

   • Compliance with local regulations.

3.  Disposal of equipment using flammable refrigerants

   • Compliance with national regulations.

4. Storage of equipment/appliances

   • The storage of equipment should be in accordance with the manufacturer ‘s instructions.

5.  Storage of packed (unsold) equipment

   • Storage package protection should be constructed such that mechanical damage to the equipment inside the package will not cause a leak of the refrigerant charge.
   • The maximum number of pieces of equipment permitted to be stored together will be determined by local regulations.

6. Information on servicing

   • 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.
   • Work procedure: Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise the risk of flammable gas or vapour being present while the work is being performed.
   • 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. □ 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. non- sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
   •  Presence of fire extinguisher: If any hot work 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 CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.
   • 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 offire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including cigarette smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the site of  installation, repairing, removing anddisposal, 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.
   • 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.
   • 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 indoubt 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.
   • 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 wiring 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 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. Intrinsically safe components do not have to be isolated prior to working on them.

8. Repairs 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.
   • Intrinsically 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.

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 vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.

10. Detection of flammable refrigerants

    • Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in these arching for or detection of refrigerant leaks.
    • Ahalide 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-calibration. (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 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 shutoff 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.

12. Removal and evacuation

    • When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs – or for any other purpose – conventional procedures shall be used. However , for flammable refrigerants it is important that best practice be followed , since flammability is a consideration. The following procedure shall be adhered to :

    •  safely remove refrigerant following local and national regulations ;

    •  purge the circuit with inert gas ;

    •  evacuate ( optional for A2L);

    •  purge with inert gas ( optional for A2L);

    •  open the circuit by cutting or brazing;

    • The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders if venting is not allowed by local and national codes. For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, the system shall be purged with oxygen-free nitrogen to render the appliance safe for flammable refrigerants. This process might need to be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen
      shall not be used for purging refrigerant systems.

    • For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, refrigerant purging shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with oxygen-free nitrogen and continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to the atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a vacuum ( optional for A2L). This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the system ( optional for A2L). When the final oxygen-free nitrogen charge is used, the system shall be vented down to atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place.

    • Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any potential ignition sources and that ventilation is 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 up right.
    • 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.

• The current air conditioner replaced an older model. The use of more efficient components may cause the air conditioner to run longer than an older model, but the total energy consumption will be less. Newer air conditioners do not emit the “blast” of cold air you may be accustomed to from older units, but this is not an indication of lesser cooling capacity or efficiency. Refer to the efficiency rating (EER) and capacity rating (in Btu/h) marked on the air conditioner.
•    The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room, or heat producing appliances are in use in the room. Use exhaust vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use heat-producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. Portable air conditioners are designed as supplemental cooling to local areas within a room. A higher capacity air conditioner may be required, depending on the size of the room being cooled.
