INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPAIRING APPLIANCES CONTAINING R290
1. Servicing
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.
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 CO₂ fire 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

- 13 -
materials which are inherently resistant to being corroded or are suitably protected against being so corroded.
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, recovering or purging the
system;
• That there is continuity of earth bonding.
2. Repairs to sealed components
1) 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.
2) 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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

- 14 -
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.
7. 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.
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 ventilation available.
8. 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.
9. 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;

- 15 -
• Recovery equipment and cylinders conform to the appropriate standards.
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.
10. 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.
11. 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 is 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.
Competence of service personnel
General
Special training additional to usual refrigerating equipment repair procedures is required when equipment with
flammable refrigerants is affected.
In many countries, this training is carried out by national training organisations that are accredited to teach the
relevant national competency standards that may be set in legislation.
The achieved competence should be documented by a certificate.
Training
The training should include the substance of the following:

- 16 -
Information about the explosion potential of flammable refrigerants to show that flammables may be dangerous
when handled without care.
Information about potential ignition sources, especially those that are not obvious, such as lighters, light switches,
vacuum cleaners, electric heaters.
Information about the different safety concepts:
Unventilated – Safety of the appliance does not depend on ventilation of the housing. Switching off the appliance
or opening of the housing has no significant effect on the safety. Nevertheless, it is possible that leaking
refrigerant may accumulate inside the enclosure and flammable atmosphere will be released when the enclosure
is opened.
Ventilated enclosure – Safety of the appliance depends on ventilation of the housing. Switching off the appliance
or opening of the enclosure has a significant effect on the safety. Care should be taken to ensure a sufficient
ventilation before.
Ventilated room – Safety of the appliance depends on the ventilation of the room. Switching off the appliance
or opening of the housing has no significant effect on the safety. The ventilation of the room shall not be switched
off during repair procedures.
Information about the concept of sealed components and sealed enclosures according to IEC 60079-15:2010.
Information about the correct working procedures:
a) Commissioning

• When brazing is required, the following procedures shall be carried out in the right order:
– Remove the refrigerant. If the recovery is not required by national regulations, drain the refrigerant to the
outside. Take care that the drained refrigerant will not cause any danger. In doubt, one person should guard the
outlet. Take special care that drained refrigerant will not float back into the building.
– Evacuate the refrigerant circuit.
– Purge the refrigerant circuit with nitrogen for 5 min.
– Evacuate again.
– Remove parts to be replaced by cutting, not by flame.
– Purge the braze point with nitrogen during the brazing procedure.
– Carry out a leak test before charging with refrigerant.
• Reassemble sealed enclosures accurately. If seals are worn, replace them.

Transportation, marking and storage for units that employ flammable refrigerants
Transport of equipment containing flammable refrigerants
Attention is drawn to the fact that additional transportation regulations may exist with respect to equipment
containing flammable gas. The maximum number of pieces of equipment or the configuration of the equipment,
permitted to be transported together will be determined by the applicable transport regulations.
Marking of equipment using signs
Signs for similar appliances used in a work area generally are addressed by local regulations and give the
minimum requirements for the provision of safety and/or health signs for a work location.
All required signs are to be maintained and employers should ensure that employees receive suitable and
sufficient instruction and training on the meaning of appropriate safety signs and the actions that need to be
taken in connection with these signs.
The effectiveness of signs should not be diminished by too many signs being placed together.
Any pictograms used should be as simple as possible and contain only essential details.
Disposal of equipment using flammable refrigerants
See national regulations.
Storage of equipment/appliances
The storage of equipment should be in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Storage of packed (unsold) equipment
Storage package protection should be constructed such that mechanical damage to the equipment inside the
package will not cause a leak of the refrigerant charge.
The maximum number of pieces of equipment permitted to be stored together will be determined by local
regulations.
