IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders. The system shall
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
to a vacuum. This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the system. When the
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 there is
ventilation available.
13.Charging procedures
In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be followed.
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).
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.
14.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
