REPAIR SAFETY NOTES (Professional use only)
Cabling:
Regularly check that cabling is not showing signs of wear, corrosion, excessive pressure,
vibration, sharp edges, any other adverse environmental effects. The check shall also
consider the effects of aging or continual vibration from sources such as compressors or
fans.
Detection of Flammable Refrigerants:
Under no circumstances shall potentially 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.
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, may need recalibration. (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 pipework.
If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed/extinguished. If a leakage of
refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all the refrigerant shall be recovered from the
system, 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, 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 vital if brazing operations on the
pipework 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 minimize 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 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.

8
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.
• Isolate system electrically.
• 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 always
supervised by a competent person; recovery equipment and cylinders conform to the
appropriate standards.
• Pump down refrigerant system, if possible.
• If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that refrigerant can be removed from
various parts of the system.
• Make sure that cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes place.
• Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with manufacturer's
instructions.
• Do not overfill cylinders. (No more than 80 % volume liquid charge).
• Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily.
• 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.
• 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 flammable refrigerant.

9
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. 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, 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.
