SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

8

8.      Checks to the refrigeration equipment

When changing electrical components, please ensure that they suitable for that purpose and to the 

correct specifi cation. At all times, the manufacturer’s maintenance and service guidelines should be 

followed. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer’s technical department for assistance. The following 

checks should be applied to installations using fl ammable 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

should 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.

9.      Checks to electrical devices

Repair and maintenance to electrical components should 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 should be used. This should 

be reported to the owner of the equipment, so all parties are advised. Initial safety checks should 

include:
•  That capacitors are discharged: this should 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.

10.    Repairs to sealed components

•  During repairs to sealed components, all electrical supplies should 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 should be located at the most critical point to warn of a potentially hazardous situation.

•  Particular attention should 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 aff ected. This 

should include damage to cables, excessive number of connections, terminals not made to original 

specifi cation, damage to seals, 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 entrance of fl ammable atmospheres. Replacement parts should be in accordance with the 

manufacturer’s specifi cations.

Note

The use of silicon sealant may inhibit the eff ectiveness of some types of leak detection equipment. 

Intrinsically safe components do not have to be isolated prior to working on them.
