associatedparts,appropriatereextinguishingequipmentshallbeavailable

at hand.

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

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

suf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.

23. REPAIRS TO SEALED COMPONENTS

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 affected.

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 effectiveness 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 effects.

The check shall also take into account the effects 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).

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 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.

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.
