8) 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. If in doubt consult the manufacturer's technical department
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 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;
– 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 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 capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid possibility of
sparking;
• That there no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging,
recovering or purging the system;
• That there is continuity of earth bonding.
2. Repairs to sealed components
1) 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.
2) Particular attention shall be paid to the following to ensure that by working on electrical
