IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Repair 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 seals or sealing materials have not degraded to the point 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 aging 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.
• Electronic leak detectors may be used to detect refrigerant leaks but, in the case of flammable
refrigerants, the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may need re-calibration.
• 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 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 also 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 pipework.
• 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 refrigerants shall be recovered
from the system, or isolated (by means of shut off valves) in a part of the system remote from the leak.
Removal and evacuation
• When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs – or for any other purpose –
conventional procedures shall 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:

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Remove refrigerant.
• Purge the circuit with inert gas (optional for a2l).
• Evacuate (optional for a2l).
• Purge with inert gas (optional for a2l).
• Open the circuit by cutting or brazing.
• The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders. For appliances
containing flammable refrigerants other than A2L 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, other than A2L 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 take place. This operation is absolutely vital if brazing operations on the pipework 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 minimize the amount of refrigerant contained
in them.
• Cylinders shall be kept in an appropriate position according to the instructions.
• Ensure that the refrigerating 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 refrigerating system.
• Prior to recharging the system, it shall be pressure-tested with the appropriate 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 recovered 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(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 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 refrigerating 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 contain flammable refrigerant.
• When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is
recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely.
Recovery
• 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 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.
• 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.
• 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.
Warnings for Disposal
Refrigerant used for the air-conditioner are flammable. Therefore when the air-conditioner is scraped,
it shall be kept away from any fire source and be recovered by a special recovering company with
corresponding qualification other than be disposed by combustion, so as to prevent damage to the
environment or any other harm.
