•
The check shall also take into account the effects of aging or continual vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.
6. Detection of fl ammable refrigerants
•
Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching or detection of refrigerant leaks.
• A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked fl ame) shall not be used.
7. The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for all refrigerant systems.
•
No leaks shall be detected when using detection equipment with a sensitivity of 5 grams per year of refrigerant or better under a pressure of at least 0,25 times the maximum allowable pressure
(>1.04MPa, max 4.15MPa) for example, a universal sniffer.
• Electronic leak detectors may be used to detect fl ammable 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 confi rmed.
•
Leak detection fl uids are also suitable for use with most refrigerants, for example, bubble method and fl uorescent method agents. The use of detergents containing chlorine shall be avoided as
the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipe-work.
•
If a leak is suspected, all naked fl ames shall be removed/extinguished.
• If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the refrigerant shall be recovered from the system, or isolated (by means of shut off valves) in a part of the system remote from
the leak. The precautions in #8 must be followed to remove the refrigerant.
8. 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 fl ammability 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.
• The system shall be purged with OFN to render the appliance safe. (remark: OFN = oxygen free nitrogen, type of inert gas)
•
This process may need to be repeated several times.
•
Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for this task.
•
Purging shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with OFN and continuing to fi ll until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere, and fi nally pulling down to a vacuum.
• This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the system.
•
When the fi nal OFN charge is used, the system shall be vented down to atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place.
•
This operation is absolutely vital if brazing operations on the pipe work are to take place.
•
Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any potential ignition sources and there is ventilation available.
9. 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 minimize 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 prior to charging the system with refrigerant.
- Label the system when charging is complete (if not already).
- Extreme care shall be taken not to over fi ll the refrigerating system.
•
Prior to recharging the system it shall be pressure tested with OFN (refer to #7).
•
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.
• Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when charging and discharging the refrigerant.
To avoid fi re or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and bonding containers and equipment before charging/discharging.
10. Decommissioning
•
Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician is completely familiar with the equipment and all its details.
• 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 recovered refrigerant.
•
It is essential that electrical power is available before the task is commenced.
a) Become familiar with the equipment and its operation.
b) Isolate system electrically.
c) Before attempting the procedure ensure that:
•

•
all personal protective equipment is available and being used correctly;
•
the recovery process is supervised at all times by a competent person;
•
recovery equipment and cylinders conform to the appropriate standards.
d) Pump down 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.
•
Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when charging or discharging the refrigerant.
To avoid fi re or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and bonding containers and equipment before charging/discharging.
11. 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 fl ammable refrigerant.
12. Recovery

1) Connect a charging hose with a push pin to the Low side of a charging set
and the service port of the 3-way valve.
2) Attach the gauge manifold set correctly and tightly. Make sure that both
valves of the manifold gauge (low pressure and high pressure) is in close
position.
3) Connect the center hose of the manifold gauge to a vacuum pump.
4) Turn on the power switch of the vacuum pump, then turn open the low
side manifold gauge valve and make sure that the needle in the gauge
moves from 0cmHg (0 MPa) to –76 cmHg (–0.1 MPa). This process
continues for approximately ten minutes. Then close the low side manifold
gauge valve.
5) Remove the vacuum pump from the centre hose and connect the center
hose to cylinder of any applicable inert gas as test gas.
6) Charge test gas into the system and wait until the pressure within the
system to reach min. 1.04MPa (10.4barg).
7) Wait and monitor the pressure reading on the gauges. Check if there
is any pressure drop. Waiting time depends on the size of the system.
8) If there is any pressure drop, perform step 9-12. If there is no pressure drop,
perform step 13.
9) Use Gas Leak Detector to check for leaks. Must use the detection
equipment with a sensitivity of 5 grams per year of test gas or better.
10) Move the probe along the air conditioning system to check for leaks,
and mark for repair.
11) Any leak detected and marked shall be repaired.
12) After repair, repeat evacuation steps 3-4 and tightness test steps 5-7.
Check the pressure drop as in step 8.
13) If no leak,

15) Tighten the service port caps of the 3-way valve at a torque of 18 N•m with a
torque wrench.
16) Remove the valve caps of both of the 2-way valve and 3-way valve.
17) Open both of the valves, using a hexagonal wrench (4mm).
18) Mount back the valve caps onto the 2-way valve and the 3-way valve to
complete this process.
