1. BEFORE YOU BEGIN
1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Our powerful portable air conditioners are great cooling solutions for
single rooms, creating a comfortable atmosphere in your space. It also
has ventilation and dehumidifying functions for circulating air and
removal of moisture. They are self-contained systems that do not
require any permanent installation allowing you to move it to the place
in which it is most needed. They're commonly used in kitchens,
temporary-resided, computer rooms, garages, and many other places
where installation of a Air-conditioner Outdoor Unit is limited.
The environmentally friendly R290 is used as the refrigerant. R290 has
no damaging influence on the ozone layer (ODP), a negligible
greenhouse effect (GWP) and is available worldwide. Because of its
efficient energy properties, R290 is highly suitable as a coolant for this
application. Special precautions must be taken into consideration due to
the coolant's high flammability.

2.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ON SERVICING
Please follow these warnings when servicing an appliance with R290.
2.2.1 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
minimized. For repair to the refrigerating system, the following
precautions shall be complied with prior to conducting work on the
system.
2.2.2 Work Procedure
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.
2.2.3 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.
2.2.4 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. no
sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.

10
2.2.5 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 CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent
to the charging area.
2.2.6 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.
2.2.7 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.
2.2.8 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:

11
– 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 corroded.
2.2.9 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:
-the 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.
