FURTHER SAFETY INFORMATION
Information on servicing
• Checks to the work area prior to beginning work on systems containing ammable
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.
Work procedure
• Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise the risk
of a ammable gas or vapour being present while the work is being performed.
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 conned 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 ammable material.
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 ammable
atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable
for use with ammable refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately sealed or
intrinsically safe.
Presence of re extinguisher
• If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated
parts, appropriate re extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a
dry powder or CO2 re extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.
No ignition sources
• Any person carrying out work in relation to a refrigeration system which involves
exposing any pipe work that contains or has contained ammable refrigerant shall
use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead to the risk of re
or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including cigarette smoking, should
be kept sufciently far away from the site of installation, repairing, removing and
disposal, during which ammable 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 ammable hazards or ignition risks.
“No Smoking” signs shall be displayed.
10
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.
Checks to the refrigeration equipment
• Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be t for the purpose
and to the correct specication. 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 ammable refrigerants:
1. The charge size is in accordance with the room size within which the
refrigerant containing parts are installed.
2. The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not
obstructed.
3. If an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuit shall be
checked for the presence of refrigerant.
4. Marking to the equipment continues to be visible and legible. Markings and
signs that are illegible shall be replaced.
5. 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 corrosion or are suitably protected against
corrosion.
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:
1. That capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid
possibility of sparking.
2. That there no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while
charging, recovering or purging the system.
3. That there is continuity of earth bonding.
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
11
protection is affected. This shall include damage to cables, excessive number
of connections, terminals not made to original specication, damage to seals,
incorrect tting 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 ammable atmospheres. Replacement parts shall be in accordance with
the manufacturer’s specications.
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.
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 ammable atmosphere. The test apparatus shall be at the
correct rating.
• Replace components only with parts specied by the manufacturer. Other parts
may result in the ignition of refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak.
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.
Detection of ammable 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 ame) shall not be used.
Leak detection methods
• The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for systems
containing ammable refrigerants.
• Electronic leak detectors shall be used to detect ammable 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 conrmed.
• Leak detection uids 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 ames 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.
12
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 ammability is a consideration. The following
procedure shall be adhered to:
1. Remove refrigerant.
2. Purge the circuit with inert gas.
3. Evacuate.
4. Purge again with inert gas.
5. Open the circuit by cutting or brazing.
• The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders. The
system shall be “ushed” 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 ll until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to
atmosphere, and nally pulling down to a vacuum. This process shall be repeated
until no refrigerant is within the system. When the nal 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.
Charging procedures
• In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall
be followed.
1. 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.
2. Cylinders shall be kept upright.
3. Ensure that the refrigeration system is earthed prior to charging the system
with refrigerant.
4. Label the system when charging is complete (if not already).
5. Extreme care shall be taken not to overll the refrigeration system.
6. Prior to recharging the system it shall be pressure tested with OFN.
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.
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.
• Become familiar with the equipment and its operation.
13
• Isolate system electrically.
• Before attempting the procedure ensure that:
1. Mechanical handling equipment is available, if required, for handling
refrigerant cylinders.
2. All personal protective equipment is available and being used correctly.
3. Pump down refrigerant system, if possible.
4. If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that refrigerant can be
removed from various parts of the system.
5. Make sure that cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes place.
6. Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with manufacturer’s
instructions.
7. Do not overll cylinders. (No more than 80 % volume liquid charge).
8. Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even
temporarily.
9. When the cylinders have been lled 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.
10. Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system
unless it has been cleaned and checked.
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 ammable refrigerant.
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 ammable 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.
14
• If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been
evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain that ammable 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.
