NFORMATION ON SERVICING
Check 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 precau-
tions shall be complied with prior to conducting work on the system.
Work procedure
Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure 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. 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 C02 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 actual refrigerant charge is in accordance with the room size within which the refrigerant contai-
ning 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 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.
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 ageing 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 method
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 lower flammability limit (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 should 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
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.
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 the appropriated 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.
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 site 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. For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, 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 availa-
ble. 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.
