2. Precaution For Using R32 Refrigerant
 The basic installation work procedures are the same as conventional refrigerant (R410A, R22) models.
However, pay careful attention to the following points:
WARNING
1.
Since the working pressure is higher than that of refrigerant R22 models, some of the piping and installation and service tools are
special.
(See “2.1. Special tools for R32 (R410A)”.)
Especially, when replacing a refrigerant R22 model with a new refrigerant R32 model, always replace the conventional piping and flare
nuts with the R32 and R410A piping and flare nuts on the outdoor unit side.
For R32 and R410A, the same flare nut on the outdoor unit side and pipe can be used.
2.
Models that use refrigerant R32 and R410A have a different charging port thread diameter to prevent erroneous charging with
refrigerant R22 and for safety.
Therefore, check beforehand. [The charging port thread diameter for R32 and R410A is 12.7 mm (1/2 inch).]
3. Be more careful than R22 so that foreign matter (oil, water, etc.) does not enter the piping.
Also, when storing the piping, securely seal the opening by pinching, taping, etc. (Handling of R32 is similar to R410A.)
CAUTION
1.

- That there is continuity of earth bonding.
 At all times the manufacturer’s maintenance and service guidelines shall be followed.
 If in doubt consult the manufacturer’s technical department for assistance.
 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.
 The owner of the equipment must be informed or reported so all parties are advised thereinafter.
3.
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 shall 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.
4.
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. Unspecified parts by manufacturer may result ignition of
refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak.
5.
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.
6.
Detection of flammable refrigerants
 Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching or detection of refrigerant leaks.
 A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used.

8
CAUTION
7.
Leak detection methods
 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.
8.
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.
9.
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 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 over fill the refrigeration system.
 Prior to recharging the system it shall be pressure tested with OFN (refer to #7).
 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.
 Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when charging and discharging the refrigerant.
To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and bonding containers and equipment before
charging/discharging.
10.
Decommissioning
 Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician is completely familiar with the equipment and all its details.
 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.
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 over fill 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.
 Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when charging or discharging the refrigerant.
To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and bonding containers and equipment before
charging/discharging.

9
CAUTION
11.
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.
12.
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.
