All possible ignition sources including cigarette smoking should be kept at a sufficient distance from the site of installation, repair, removal, 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.
   • g. Ventilated area: Ensure that the area is an open space or that it is adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting any hot work. There should be a degree of continuous ventilation while the work is being carried out. The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere.
   • h. 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. When in doubt, consult Customer Service 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 parts containing refrigerants are installed. The ventilation machinery and outlets should operate adequately and should not be obstructed; if an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuit shall be checked for the presence of refrigerants. Any marking to the equipment should continue to be visible and legible. Markings and signs that are illegible shall be corrected. Refrigeration pipes 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 corroded.
   • i. 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: Ensuring that capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid possible sparking; Ensuring that no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging, recovering, or purging the system; Ensuring that there is continuity of earth bonding;
6. Repairs To Sealed Components:
   • a. During repairs to sealed components, all electrical supplies shall be disconnected from the unit being worked on prior to the removal of sealed covers and other parts (if any). If it is necessary to have an electrical supply connected to the unit 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.
   • b. Particular attention shall be paid to the following to ensure that when 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 the cables, an excessive number of connections, terminals not made to the original specification, damage to seals, incorrect fitting of glands, etc.
   • Ensure that the unit is mounted securely.
   • Ensure that the seals or sealing materials have not been degraded to a point 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.
7. Repair To Intrinsically Safe Components: Do not apply any permanent inductive or capacitive loads to the circuit without ensuring that this will not exceed the permissible voltage and current for the unit in use. Intrinsically safe components are the only types that can be worked on while live and in the presence of a flammable atmosphere. The test apparatus shall be at the correct rating. Replace the components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts may result in the ignition of refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak.
8. Cabling: Check that the cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges, or any other adverse environmental effects. The check shall also consider the effects of aging or continual vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.
9. Detection Of Flammable Refrigerants: Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in searching for or detecting refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used.
10. 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 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 refrigerant leak is found (which requires brazing), all refrigerants shall be recovered from the system, or isolated (by means of shut off valves) in a part of the system that is situated remotely from the leak. Removal of refrigerant shall be according to Removal and evacuation.
11. Removal And Evacuation: When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs or for any other purpose, conventional procedures shall be used. Considering flammability, follow best practices. Adherence to the following procedures is a must:
    • a. Removing the refrigerant following local and national regulations;
    • b. Purging the circuit with inert gas;
    • c. Evacuation;
    • d. Purging again with inert gas;
    • e. Opening the circuit by cutting or brazing;
    • f. The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders if venting is not allowed by local and national codes. For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, the system shall be purged with oxygen-free nitrogen to render the appliance safe for flammable refrigerants. This process might need to be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for purging refrigerant systems. For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, refrigerants purging shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with oxygen-free nitrogen 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 oxygen-free nitrogen charge is used, the system shall be vented down to atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place. Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any potential ignition sources and that ventilation is available.
12. 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 the charging equipment. Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible to minimize the amount of refrigerant contained in them. Cylinders shall be kept in an appropriate position according to the instructions. Ensure that the refrigeration system is earthed before charging the system with the refrigerant. Label the system when the charging is complete (in case it has not been labeled yet). Extreme care shall be taken to avoid overfilling the refrigeration system. Prior to recharging the system, the pressure test with OFN must first be conducted. The system leak test shall be performed upon completion of charging, but should be done prior to commissioning. A follow up leak test shall be carried out before leaving the site.
13. Decommissioning: Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician is completely familiar with the equipment and all necessary details. It is good practice that all refrigerants be recovered safely. Prior to carrying out this task, an oil and refrigerant sample shall be taken in case analysis is required before reusing the reclaimed refrigerant. It is essential that electrical power is available before this task commences.
    • a. Become familiar with the equipment and its operation.
    • b. Isolate the 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 always supervised by a competent person and recovery equipment and cylinders conform to the required standards.
    • d. Pump down the refrigerant system, if possible.
    • e. If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that refrigerants can be removed from various parts of the system.
    • f. Make sure that the cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes place.
    • g. Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
    • h. Do not overfill the 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 is completed, make sure that the cylinders and the equipment are removed from the 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.
14. Labeling: The unit shall be labeled stating that it has been decommissioned and emptied of the refrigerant. The label shall be dated and signed. Ensure that there are labels on the unit stating that it contains flammable refrigerants.
15. Recovery: When removing the refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is recommended that all refrigerants are removed safely. When transferring the refrigerant into the cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders are used. 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 labeled for that refrigerant (i.e., special cylinders refrigerant recovery). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure relief valves and associated shut-off valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders should be evacuated and, if possible, cooled before the 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 if a refrigerant is released. Consult Customer Service when 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 the compressors or the compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level so that the 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 the system, it shall be carried out safely.
