Repairing Appliances Containing R290
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 precaution shall be completed prior to
conducting work on the system.
2. Work procedure
Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure to minimise the risk of a
flammable gas or vapour 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.
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 toxic or flammable
atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for
use with all applicable refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately sealed or
intrinsically safe.
5. Presence of fire extinguisher
If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigerating 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 refrigerating system which involves
exposing any pipe work 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 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 refrigerating 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.
REPAIR
The following checks shall be applied to installations using flammable refrigerants:
• The actual refrigerant charge is in accordance with the room size within which the
refrigerant containing parts are installed.
• The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not
obstructed.
• If 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. Markings and signs
that are illegible shall be corrected.
• Refrigerating 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 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:
• That capacitor is discharged: this shall be done safely to avoid the possibility
of sparking,
• That no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging,
recovering, or purging the system,
• That there is continuity of earth bonding.
10. Repairs to sealed components
During repairs to sealed components, all electrical supplies shall be disconnected
from the equipment being worked upon before any removal of sealed covers, etc. If
it is 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, an excessive number of
connections, terminals not made to original specification, damage to seals,
incorrect fitting of glands, etc.
Ensure that the apparatus is mounted securely.
Ensure that seals or sealing materials have not degraded to the point that they no
longer serve the purpose of preventing the ingress of flammable atmospheres.
Replacement parts shall be by the manufacturer’s specifications.
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 currently permitted
for the equipment in use.
Intrinsically safe components are the only types that can be worked on while living
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 consider the effects of ageing 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. Removal and evacuation
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs – or for any other
purpose – conventional procedures shall be used. However, for flammable
refrigerants, best practice must be followed since flammability is a consideration.
The following procedure shall be adhered to:
• Remove refrigerant
• Purge the circuit with inert gas
• Evacuate
• Purge with inert gas
• Open the circuit by cutting or brazing.
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders. For
appliances containing flammable refrigerants, the system shall be purged with
oxygen-free nitrogen to render the appliance safe for flammable refrigerants. This
process may 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. 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 potential ignition
sources and that ventilation is available.
15. 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 minimise
the amount of refrigerant contained in them.
• Cylinders shall be kept in an appropriate position according to the instructions.
• Ensure that the refrigerating system is earthed before charging the system
with refrigerant.
• Label the system when charging is complete (if not already).
• Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill the refrigerating system.
Before recharging the system, it shall be pressure-tested with the appropriate
purging gas. The system shall be leak-tested on completion of charging but before
commissioning. A follow-up leak test shall be carried out before leaving the site.
16. Decommissioning
Before carrying out this procedure, the technician must be completely familiar with
the equipment and all its detail. It is recommended good practice that all
refrigerants are recovered safely. Before the task being carried out, an oil and
refrigerant sample shall be taken in case analysis is required before re-use of
recovered refrigerant. Electrical power must be available before the task is
commenced.
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.
• Recovery equipment and cylinders conform to the appropriate standards.
d) Pump down the 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 the cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes
place.
g) Start the recovery machine and operate by 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 the site
promptly and all isolation valves on the equipment are closed off.
k) Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigerating system
unless it has been cleaned and checked.
17. Labelling
Equipment shall be labelled stating that it has been de-commissioned and
emptied of refrigerant. The label shall be dated and signed. For appliances
containing flammable refrigerants, ensure that there are labels on the equipment
stating the equipment contains flammable refrigerant.
18. 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 a
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
all appropriate refrigerants including, when applicable, flammable refrigerants.
Also, 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 the 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.
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 before
returning the compressor to the suppliers. Only electric heating to the compressor
body shall be employed to accelerate this process. When the oil is drained from a
system, it shall be carried out safely.
