11.7 Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with manufacturer’s
instructions.
11.8 Do not overfill cylinders. (No more than 80% volume liquid charge.)
11.9 Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even
temporarily.
11.10 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.
11.11 Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system
unless it has been cleaned and checked.
12. 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.
13. Recovery
13.1 When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or
decommissioning, it is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are
removed safely.
13.2 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 are 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.
13.3 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.
13.4 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.
