17. TRANSPORT OF EQUIPMENT CONTAINING FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS

See transport regulations.

18. MARKING OF EQUIPMENT USING SIGNS

See local regulations.

19. DISPOSAL OF EQUIPMENT USING FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS

See national regulations.

20. STORAGE OF EQUIPMENT/APPLIANCES

The storage of equipment should be in accordance with the manufacturer’s

instructions.

21. STORAGE OF PACKED (UNSOLD) EQUIPMENT

Storage package protection should be constructed such that mechanical damage

to the equipment inside the package will not cause a leak of the refrigerant charge.

The maximum number of pieces of equipment permitted to be stored together will

be determined by local regulations.

22. INFORMATION ON SERVICING

a) Checks to the area

Prior to beginning work on systems containing ammable refrigerants, safety

checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimised.

For repair to the refrigerating system, the following precautions shall be

complied with prior to conducting work on the system.

b) Work procedure

Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise

the risk of a ammable gas or vapour being present while the work is being

performed.

c) General work area

All maintenance sta and others working in the local area shall be instructed

on the nature of work being carried out.

Work in conned spaces shall be avoided.

The area around the workspace shall be sectioned o.

Ensure that the conditions within the area have been made safe by control of

ammable material.

d) 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 ammable

atmospheres.

Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with

ammable refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically

safe.

e) Presence of re extinguisher

If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any

associated parts, appropriate re extinguishing equipment shall be available

at hand.

Have a dry powder or CO2 re extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.

ENGLISH

EN - 10

f) 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 ammable refrigerant

shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead to the risk

of re or explosion.

All possible ignition sources, including cigarette smoking, should be kept

suciently far away from the site of installation, repairing, removing and

disposal, during which ammable 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 ammable hazards or ignition risks. No Smoking

signs shall be displayed.

g) 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.

h) Checks to the refrigeration equipment

Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be t for the

purpose and to the correct specication.

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 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 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.

i) 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 there no live

electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging, recovering or

purging the system; That there is continuity of earth bonding.

a) 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.

b) 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 aected.

This shall include damage to cables, excessive number of connections,

terminals not made to original specication, damage to seals, incorrect tting

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 ammable atmospheres.

Replacement parts shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s

specications.

The use of silicon sealant may inhibit the eectiveness of some types of

leak detection equipment. Intrinsically safe components do not have to be

isolated prior to working on them.

24. 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 ammable

atmosphere.

The test apparatus shall be at the correct rating.

Replace components only with parts specied by the manufacturer.

Other parts may result in the ignition of refrigerant in the atmosphere from a

leak.

25. CABLING

Check that cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure,

vibration, sharp edges or any other adverse environmental eects.

The check shall also take into account the eects of aging or continual vibration

from sources such as compressors or fans.

26. 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 ame) shall not be used.

27. LEAK DETECTION METHODS

The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for systems

containing ammable refrigerants.

Electronic leak detectors shall be used to detect ammable refrigerants, but

the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may need re-calibration. (Detection

equipment shall be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area).

ENGLISH

EN - 12

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 conrmed.

Leak detection uids 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 ames 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 o 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.

28. 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 ammability is a

consideration.

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.

The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders.

The system shall be ushed 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 ll until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to

atmosphere, and nally pulling down to a vacuum.

This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the system. When

the nal 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.

29. CHARGING PROCEDURES

In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements

shall be followed.

Ensure that contamination of dierent 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 overll the refrigeration system. Prior to

recharging the system it shall be pressure tested with OFN.

AQUARIA

ENGLISH

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.

30. 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 overll 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 lled 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 o.

k) Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration

system unless it has been cleaned and checked.

31. 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

ammable refrigerant.

32. 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 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-o

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 ammable 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 ammable

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.
