Safety regulations for service and repair work
Repairs must only be carried out by authorised service personnel and only using
genuine spare parts.
1. Checks to the area
Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable 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.
2. Work procedure
Work shall be undertaken under acontrolled procedure so as to minimise therisk of
aflammable gas or vapour being present while thework is being performed.
3. 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 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.

5
ENGLISH
4. 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 flammable atmospheres. Ensure
that theleak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with flammable
refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
5. Presence of fire extinguisher
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 CO2fire extinguisher adjacent to thecharging area.
6. 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 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, repairing, removing and disposal, during which
flammable 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 flammable hazards or ignition risks. “No Smoking” signs shall be displayed.
7. 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.
8. Checks to the refrigeration equipment
Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for thepurpose
and to thecorrect specification. 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
flammable 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.

6
ENGLISH
9. 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,
recoveringor purging thesystem;
• that there is continuity of earth bonding.
10. 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 shali 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 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 flammable atmospheres.
Replacement parts shall be in accordance with themanufacturer’s specifications.
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.
11. 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.

7
ENGLISH
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. Leak detection methods
Thefollowing leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for systems containing
flammable refrigerants. 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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.
15. 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 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.

8
ENGLISH
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 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 aventilation available.
16. 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 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 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.
17. 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.

9
ENGLISH
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 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 refrigeration system unless
it has been cleaned and checked.
18. 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 flammable refrigerant.
19. 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 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 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.

Säkerhetsföreskrifter vid Service
Alla reparationer ska utföras av behörig servicepersonal med originalreservdelar.
1. Kontrollera området
Innan arbete på system som innehåller brandfarliga köldmedier påbörjas måste
säkerhetskontroller göras för att se till att risken för antändning minimeras. Vid
reparation av kylsystemet ska följande försiktighetsåtgärder vidtas innan arbetet på
systemet påbörjas.
2. Procedur
Arbetet ska utföras under kontrollerade former för att minimera risken för att
brandfarlig gas eller ånga läcker ut medan arbetet pågår.
3. Allmänt arbetsområde
All underhållspersonal och andra som arbetar inärheten ska instrueras om vilken typ
av arbete som utförs. Undvik arbete islutna utrymmen. Området runt arbetsstället ska
spärras av. Försäkra dig om att inga brandfarliga material förekommer iarbetsområdet.

SVENSKA
4. Kontroll av förekomst av köldmedium
Området ska kontrolleras med enlämplig köldmediumsdetektor före och under arbetet
för att uppmärksamma teknikern om potentiella brandfaror. Se till att den utrustning
för läcksökning som används är lämplig för brandfarliga köldmedium, d.v.s. är gnistfri,
korrekt förseglad eller egensäker.
5. Förekomst av brandsläckare
Om heta arbeten ska utföras på kylutrustningen eller tillhörande delar ska lämplig
brandsläckningsutrustning finnas till hands. Se till att det finns enbrandsläckare (pulver
eller CO2) intill påfyllningsområdet.
6. Inga antändningskällor
Ingen person som utför arbete isamband med kylsystem som innebär exponering
av rörsystem som innehåller eller har innehållit brandfarliga köldmedium får använda
antändningskällor på ettsådant sätt att de medför risk för brand eller explosion. Alla
potentiella antändningskällor, inklusive rökning, bör hållas på betryggande avstånd
från platsen för installation, reparation, avlägsnande och kassering när det finns risk för
utsläpp av brandfarliga köldmedium till omgivningen. Innan arbete utförs ska området
runt utrustningen undersökas för att se till att det inte finns några brand eller antänd-
ningsrisker. Skyltar med RÖKNING FÖRBJUDEN ska sättas upp.
7. Ventilerat utrymme
Se till att området är öppet eller att det är tillräckligt ventilerat innan du öppnar syste-
met eller utför något heta arbeten. Enviss grad av ventilation ska fortgå under tiden
som arbetet utförs. Ventilationen har till uppgift att skingra eventuella köldmedieutsläpp
och helst föra ut den ifriska luften.
8. Kontroller av kylutrustning
Vid byte av elektriska komponenter ska de vara avsedda för ändamålet och uppfylla
angivna specifikationer. Tillverkarens riktlinjer för underhåll och service ska alltid följas.
Om du är osäker, kontakta tillverkarens tekniska avdelning och be om hjälp. Följande
kontroller ska göras på anläggningar som använder brandfarliga köldmedier:
• Att mängden köldmedium är lämplig med hänsyn storleken på det rum där de
delar som innehåller köldmedium är monterade.
• Att ventilationsanläggningen och utloppen fungerar som de ska och inte är igensatta.
• Att, om enindirekt köldmediumskrets används, ska de sekundära kretsarna
kontrolleras med avseende på förekomst av köldmedium. Att märkning och
dekaler på utrustning förblir synliga och läsbara.
• Märkning och dekaler som är oläsliga ska åtgärdas.
• Köldmediumsrör eller komponenter ska installeras på ettsådant sätt att
de inte riskeras att komma ikontakt med korroderande ämnen, såvida inte
komponenterna är tillverkade av material som är beständiga mot korrosion eller har
försetts med lämpligt korrosionsskydd.

9. Kontroller av elektrisk utrustning
Reparation och underhåll av elektriska komponenter ska omfatta inledande säkerhets-
kontroller och inspektionsförfaranden för komponenter. Om ettfel föreligger som skulle
kunna äventyra säkerheten får strömförsörjningen inte anslutas till kretsen förrän detta
åtgärdats på etttillfredsställande sätt. Om felet inte kan korrigeras omedelbart, men
driften måste fortsätta, ska enlämplig tillfällig lösning användas. Detta ska rapporteras
till ägaren av utrustningen så att alla parter är informerade. Inledande säkerhetskontrol-
ler ska inkludera:
• Att kondensatorerna är urladdade: detta ska göras på ettsäkert sätt för att
undvika risk för gnistbildning.
• Att det inte finns några strömförande elektriska komponenter och exponerade
ledningar vid laddning, återvinning eller tömning/avluftning av systemet.
• Att det är kontinuerligt jordat.
10. Reparationer av förseglade komponenter
Under reparationer av förseglade komponenter ska all elförsörjning kopplas bort från
anläggningens delar innan förseglade kåpor och liknanade avlägsnas. Om det är ab-
solut nödvändigt med elförsörjning av utrustningen under service, ska enpermanent
form av läcksökningsutrustning vara inkopplad vid den mest kritiska punkten, för att
varna för enpotentiellt farlig situation.
Särskild uppmärksamhet ska ägnas åt följande punkter vid arbete med elektriska
komponenter för att se till att höljet inte ändras på ettsådant sätt att skyddsnivån
påverkas. Detta ska inkludera skador på kablar, alltför många anslutningar, terminaler
som inte uppfyller den ursprungliga specifikationen, skador på tätningar, felaktig mon-
tering av kabelförskruvningar o.s.v.
• Se till att apparaten är korrekt monterad.
• Se till att tätningar eller tätningsmaterial inte har åldrats så att de inte längre tjänar
ändamålet att förhindra brandfarliga gaser från att tränga in. Reservdelar ska
uppfylla tillverkarens specifikationer.
Obs! Användning av silikon kan hämma effekten av vissa typer av utrustning för
läcksökning. Egensäkra komponenter behöver inte isoleras före arbete med dem.
11. Reparation av egensäkra komponenter
Använd inga permanent induktiva eller kapacitiva laster på kretsen utan att ha sett till
att detta inte överstiger den tillåtna spänningen och strömstyrkan för utrustningen som
används. Egensäkrade komponenter är de enda typer som arbete kan utföras på när
de är strömförande iettbrandfarligt utrymme. Testapparaten måste vara rätt klassad.
Ersätt endast komponenter med delar som anges av tillverkaren. Andra delar kan
resultera iatt köldmedium läcker ut iluften och antänds.
