the maximum refrigerant charge amount: APH10CE-14.82Oz
the maximum refrigerant charge amount: APH10CH-14.82Oz
The appliance shall be stored so as to prevent mechanical damage from occurring.
Any person who is involved with working on or breaking into a refrigerant circuit should hold a current valid certificate
from an industry-accredited assessment authority, which authorizes their competence to handle refrigerants safely in
accordance with an industry-recognized assessment specification. Servicing shall only be performed as recommended by
the equipment manufacturer. Maintenance and repair requiring the assistance of other skilled personnel shall be carried out
under the supervision of the person competent in the use of flammable refrigerants.
Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of
ignition is minimized. Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimize the risk of a flammable gas
or vapor being present while the work is being performed. All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall
be instructed on the nature of the work being carried out. Work in confined 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 flammable
material.
The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to and during work, to ensure the technician is
aware of potentially flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with
flammable refrigerants, i.e. no sparking, adequately sealed, or intrinsically safe.
If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing
equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry powder or CO² fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.
No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigeration system that involves exposing any pipe work that contains or has
contained flammable refrigerant shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead to the risk of fire or
explosion. All possible ignition sources, including cigarette smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the site of
installation, repair, removal, and disposal, during which flammable refrigerant can possibly be released into the surrounding
space. Prior to work taking place, the area around the equipment is to be surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable
hazards or ignition risks. “No Smoking” signs shall be displayed.
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.
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 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.
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 search for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A
halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used.

3
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 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 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 flames shall be removed/extinguished. If a leak 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. Oxygen-free nitrogen (OFN) shall then be purged through the system both before and during the
brazing process.
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. 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 “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 the 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.
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 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 overfill the refrigeration system.
Prior to recharging the system, it shall be pressure tested with OFN. 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.
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 the 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 the 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 it in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Do not overfill 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 filled correctly and the process completed, make sure that the cylinders and the equipment
are removed from the site promptly and all the 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 flammable refrigerant.
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

4
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 valves 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 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 the
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
ensure 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.
