2 Information 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 vapor 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
work space 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

5
leak detection equipment being used is
suitable for use with flammable
refrigerants, i.e. no
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:
lthe charge size is in accordance with
the room size within which the refrigerant
containing parts are installed;
lthe ventilation machinery and outlets
are operating adequately and are not
obstructed;
lif 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.
lmarkings and signs that are illegible
shall be corrected;
lrefrigeration 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.
9. Checks to electrical devices
Repair and maintenance to electrical
components shall include initial safety
checks and component inspection

6
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:
lthat capacitors are discharged: this shall
be done in a safe manner to avoid
possibility of sparking;
lthat there no live electrical components
and wiring are exposed while charging,
recovering or purging the system;
lthat there is continuity of earth bonding.
10. Repairs to sealed components
10.1 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.
10.2 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.
lEnsure that apparatus is mounted
securely.
lEnsure 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.
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

7
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 or 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:
lremove refrigerant;
lpurge the circuit with inert gas;
levacuate;
lpurge again with inert gas;
lopen 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.
16. Charging procedures
In addition to conventional charging
procedures, the following requirements
shall be followed:
lEnsure 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.
lCylinders shall be kept upright.
lEnsure that the refrigeration system is
earthed prior to charging the system with
refrigerant.
lLabel the system when charging is
complete (if not already).
lExtreme care shall be taken not to
overfill the refrigeration system.

8
lPrior 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:
lmechanical handling equipment is
available, if required, for handling
refrigerant cylinders;
lall personal protective equipment is
available and being used correctly;
lthe recovery process is supervised at all
times by a competent person;
lrecovery 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.
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
lWhen removing refrigerant from a
system, either for servicing or
decommissioning, it is
recommended good practice that all
refrigerants are removed safely.
lWhen transferring refrigerant into
cylinders, ensure that only appropriate
refrigerant
recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure
that the correct numbers 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.
lEmpty recovery cylinders are
evacuated and, if possible, cooled before
recovery occurs.
