Information on Maintenance and 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 minimized. 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 a 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. nonsparking, 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 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 -
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 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. -
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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 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 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 it 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.
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. 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 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 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 s ite 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
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, 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 for holding the total system charge is 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 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 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.
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 is drained from a system, it shall be carried out safely

start immediately. After R06 time, the controller will judge if it reaches
target temperature. If not, the electric heater will start.
Eco heating mode
The heat pump system will start according to the actual temperature and target
temperature. But the electric heater will be off all the time.
Intelligent heating mode
The heat pump automatically switches to economy mode, standard mode and high
demand mode according to different ambient temperatures.
When ambient temp reaches T01>R10 , the heat pump will enter Eco heating mode.
(electric heater can not start up )
When ambient temp reaches R09<T01≤R10, the heat pump will enter standard
heating mode. ( after R06 time , electric heater will judge whether to start
up according to R03 return differential temp)
When ambient temp reaches R08<T01≤R09 , the heat pump will enter high demand
heating mode. (electric heater will judge whether to start up according to R03
return differential temp)
High demand heating mode.
We also call it high demand heating mode. The difference between heating mode
and high requirement mode is R06 delay time of electric heater start. In the
high demand heating mode, electric heater will start without delay, which can
help user to heat water quickly in a short time.

Failure List & Troubleshooting
7.1. Non-error tips
1)Why the compressor is not running when I start up the unit?
Answer: When the unit is powered on after the last shut-down, the compressor
will not run until 3 minutes later. This is the self-protection of the unit.
2)Why sometimes the outlet water temperature on the display increases slowly?
Answer:Because the water temperature is different between the upper layer and
bottom layer in the tank at the beginning. When the water temperature in all
parts of the tank is basically the same, it will rise faster.
3)Why the outlet water temperature on the display decreases when the unit is
in heating mode?
Answer:If the upper water temperature is much higher than that of the bottom
water, the water temperature will decrease a little because of the convection
between hot water and cold water in the tank.
4)Why does the unit not start up to heat when the outlet water temperature
decreases?
Answer: The water temperature will decrease because of the heat loss if the
hot water in the tank is not used for a long time. In order to avoid the
continual ON/OFF, the unit does not start up until the water temperature
decrease for more than 5℃.
5)Why does the outlet water temperature decrease a lot abruptly?
Answer: The temperatures of hot water and cold water in the tank are
different. The cold water may go to the upper sensor when the hot water have
been used up.
6)Why the hot water is still available when the water out temperature on the
display decreases a lot?
Answer: Because the upper sensor is positioned near the top of the tank, there
is still 1/5 of hot water available when the outlet water temperature on the
display decreases a lot.
7)Why the compressor stops but the fan keeps running when the unit is in the
heating mode?
Answer: The unit needs to defrost when the evaporator freezes because of the
low ambient temperature. The compressor will stop and the fan keeps running
when the unit defrosts.
8)Why is the heating time so long?
Answer: Energy saving, little power consumption and long heating time are the
distinguishing features of the units. Normally, the heating time is 2~6 hours
according to the inlet water temperature, water consumption and ambient
temperature.
