9 Troubleshooting
Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any ignition sources and there is ventilation
available.
8. 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 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 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.
9. 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.
1) Become familiar with the equipment and its operation.
2) Isolate system electrically.
3) Before attempting the procedure ensure that:
• M echanical handling equipment is available, if required, for handling refrigerant cylinders;
• A ll personal protective equipment is available and being used correctly;
• T he recovery process is supervised at all times by a competent person;
• R ecovery equipment and cylinders conform to the appropriate standards.
4) Pump down refrigerant system, if possible.
5) If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that refrigerant can be removed from various parts
of the system.
6) Make sure that cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes place.
7) Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
8) Do not overfill cylinders. (No more than 80 % volume liquid charge).
9) Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily.
