16. Information on servicing:

 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 minimized. For repair to the refrigerating

system, the following precautions shall be complied

with prior to conducting work on the system.

 Work procedure Work shall be undertaken under

a controlled procedure so as to minimize the risk of

a ammable gas or vapor being present while the

work is being performed.

 General work area All maintenance staff 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 off. Ensure that

the conditions within the area have been made safe

by control of ammable material

 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.

 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 to hand. Have a dry

powder or CO 2 re extinguisher adjacent to the

charging area.

 No ignition sources No person carrying out

work in relation to a refrigeration system which

involves exposing any pipe work 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 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.

 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.

 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.

are constructed of materials which are inherently

resistant to being corroded or are suitably

protected against being so corroded.

 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.

 Repairs 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 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.

NOTE: 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.

 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.

 

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.

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.

 

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.

 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 in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.

 ACD-18KBTU

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.

 

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.

 Become familiar with the equipment and its

operation.

 Isolate system electrically.

 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.

 Pump down refrigerant system, if possible.

 If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so

that refrigerant can be removed from various

parts of the system.

 Make sure that the cylinder is situated on the

scales before recovery takes place.

 Start the recovery machine and operate in

accordance with manufacturer's instructions.

 Do not overll cylinders. (No more than 80 %

volume liquid charge).

 Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of

the cylinder, even temporarily.

 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 off.

 Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into

another refrigeration system unless it has been

cleaned and checked.

 

Equipment shall be labeled 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.

 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 are

available. All cylinders to be used are designated

for the recovered refrigerant and labeled 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, 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 recover 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.
