parts ar e install ed;
The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not obstructed;
If an indirect refrigerating circui t is being used, the secondary circuit shall be checked for the
presence of refrigerant;
Marking to the equipment continues to be visible and l egible. Markings and signs that are
illegible shall be corr ected;
Refrigeration pipe or components are installed in a position where they are unlikely to be
exposed to any substance which may corrode r efrigerant containing components, unless the
components are constructed of materials which are inherently resistant to being corroded or
are suitably protected against bei ng so corroded.
9)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 unti l it is satisfactori ly dealt with. If the fault
cannot be corrected immediately but it is necessary to continue oper ation, an adequate
temporary solution shall be used. This shall be reported to the owner of the equi pment so all
parties are advised.
Initial safety checks shal l include:
That capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid possibility of
sparking;
That there no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while chargi ng, recovering or
purging the system;
That there is continuity of ear th bonding.
7.Repairs to sealed components
1)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 isabsolutely
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.
2)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.
ea
6
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This shall incl
to original specification, damage to seals, incorrect fitting
of glands, etc.
Ensure that apparatus is mounted securely.
Ensure that seals or seali ng 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.
NOTE: The use of silicone sealant may inhibit the effectiveness of some types of leak
detection equipment. Intr insically safe components do not have to be isolated prior to working
on them.
8. Repair to intrinsically safe components
Do not apply any permanent inductive or
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 par ts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts may result in the ignition of
refrigerant in the atmosphere fr om a leak.
9. 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.
10. Detection of flammable ref rigerants
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.
11. 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 i gnition
and is suitable for the refrigerant used. Leak detection equipment shall be set at a percentage of
the LFL of the refr igerant and shall be calibr ated to the refriger ant employed and the appropriate
percentage of gas (25 % maximum) is confirmed. Leak detection flui ds are sui table 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 pi pe-work. If a leak is suspected, all naked
flames shall be removed/extinguished. If a leak 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 l eak. Oxygen free nitrogen (OFN) shall then be purged
through the system both before and during the brazing process.
12. Removal and evacuation
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs or for any other purpose conventional
procedures shall be used. However, it is important that best practice is followed since flammability
is a consideration. Openi ng of the refrigeration systems shall not be done by brazing. The
following procedure shall be adhered to:
Remove refrigerant;
Purge the circuit with inert gas;
Evacuate;
Purge again with inert gas;
Open the circuit by cutting or brazing.

capacitance loads to the circuit without ensuring that this
7
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders. The system shall
be flushed with OFN to render the unit safe. This process may need to be repeated several
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
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 OFN 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 ignition sources and there is
ventilation available.
13.Charging procedures
In additi
Ensure that contamination of different r efrigerants does not occur when using charging
equipment. Hoses or li nes shal l be as short as possible to minimize the amount of refriger ant
contained in them. Cylinders shall be kept upright. Ensure that the refrigeration system is
earthed prior to charging the system with refriger ant. Label the system when char ging is
complete (if not already). Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill the refrigerati on system.
Prior to recharging the system it shall be pressure tested with OFN. The system shall be leak
tested on completion of charging but pr ior to commissioning. A follow up leak test shal l 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
recovered safely. Pri or to the task being carried out, an oil and r efrigerant 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.
on to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be followed.
a) Become familiar with the equipment and its operation.
b) Isolate system electrical
c) Before attempting the procedur e ensure that:
Mechanical handling equipment is avai lable, if requi red, for handl ing r efrigerant 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 cylinder s conform to the appr opriate 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 recover y takes place.
g) Start the recovery machine and operate in accor dance with manufacturer 's instructions.
h) Do not overfill cylinders. (No more than 80 % volume liquid charge).

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.
