SAFETY WARNINGS FOR SERVICING
Observe all these warnings when performing the following works while servicing the dehumidifier with R290.

1. Area inspections
   Before performing any works on circuits containing flammable refrigerants, it is necessary to perform safety inspections of the area to make sure that the risk of ignition is minimised. When repairing the cooling system, the following precautions must be implemented before working on the system.

2. Working procedure
   Tasks should be carried out under the controlled procedure so that the risk of the presence of flammable gas or vapours is minimised when work is being carried out.

3. General workplace
   All maintenance personnel and others working in the place should be instructed in the nature of the work. Avoid working indoors. The area around the workplace must be isolated. Make sure that conditions in the area have been secured by control flammable materials.

4. Refrigerant-presence inspection
   Before and during performing work, check the area with a suitable refrigerant detector to ensure that the technician is aware of potentially flammable atmospheres. Make sure that the leak-detection equipment used is suitable for use with flammable refrigerants, i.e., does not cause sparking, is properly sealed, and is intrinsically safe.

5. Fire-extinguishing accessibility
   If any hot operations are to be carried out on the cooling equipment or any associated parts, suitable fire-extinguishing equipment should be available. Dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher should be placed adjacent to the charging area.

6. No ignition sources
   No persons performing work on cooling systems, which consists of uncovering pipes containing flammable refrigerant may use any ignition sources in a manner creating a risk of fire or explosion. All possible sources of ignition, including cigarette smoking, should be kept at a suitable distance from the place of installation, repair, removal, and disposal, during which the flammable refrigerant can be released into the environment. Before starting work, examine the area around the equipment to ensure that there is no fire or ignition hazard. Place “No smoking” signs.

7. Ventilated area
   Make sure that the area is outside or properly ventilated before performing any repair or maintenance works on the system or hot operations. A certain degree of ventilation should be maintained during the work-performing period. Ventilation should safely disperse the released refrigerant, and preferably release it outside into the atmosphere.

8. Cooling equipment inspections
   In the event of the replacement of electrical components, they should be appropriate for the purpose, and compliant with the relevant specifications. The manufacturer’s guidelines for maintenance and servicing must be observed at all times. If any doubts, contact the technical department of the manufacturer.
   The following inspections should be performed concerning the systems using flammable refrigerants:

   • The size of the load is compliant with the room size in which components containing refrigerant are installed;
   • Ventilation units and outlets are working properly, and are not clogged up;
   • When using an intermediate cooling circuit, check for the refrigerant;
   • The marking of the device is still visible and legible. Markings and signs which are illegible must be corrected;
   • Cooling pipes or components should be installed in a place where there is a low likelihood of their coming into contact with any substance which can cause corrosion of components containing refrigerant, unless these components are made of materials inherently resistant to corrosion, or adequately protected against corrosion.

9. Electrical-equipment inspections
   Repairs and maintenance of the electric components include preliminary safety inspections and component-control procedures. In the instance of a fault which could risk safety, do not connect the power supply to the circuit until it has been satisfactorily rectified. If the fault cannot be rectified immediately, but further action is necessary, an appropriate temporary solution must be implemented. This should be reported to the device owner so that all parties are informed. Preliminary safety inspections include:

   • condenser discharge: should be done in a safe way to avoid the possibility of sparking;
   • no covering of live electrical components or wiring when charging, recovering, or cleaning the system;
   • earthing continuity.

10. 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 the apparatus is mounted securely.
    Ensure that seals or sealing materials have not degraded to the point 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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 is followed since flammability is a consideration. The following procedure shall be adhered to:

    • remove refrigerant;
    • purge the circuit with inert gas;
    • evacuate;
    • purge with inert gas;
    • open the circuit by cutting or brazing.
      The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders. For appliances containing flammable refrigerants the system shall be purged with oxygen-free nitrogen to render the appliance safe for flammable refrigerants. This process may need to be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for purging refrigerant systems. For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, refrigerants 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 atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a vacuum. This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the system. When the final oxygen-free nitrogen 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 potential ignition sources and that ventilation is available.

15. 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.

16. 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 in an appropriate position according to the instructions.
    • Ensure that the refrigerating 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 refrigerating system.
    • Prior to recharging the system, it shall be pressure-tested with the appropriate purging gas. 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.

17. 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 recovered 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 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 refrigerating system unless it has been cleaned and checked.

18. Labelling
    Equipment shall be labelled stating that it has been de-commissioned and emptied of refrigerant. The label shall be dated and signed. For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, ensure that there are labels on the equipment stating the equipment contains flammable refrigerant.

19. 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 shutoff 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 all appropriate refrigerants including, when applicable, 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.
