3.3 Additional recommendations
In relation with the Pressurised Equipment Directive (PED‐97/23/CE)
3.3.1 Installation and maintenance
the unit may not be installed close to combustible materials, or the air duct inlet of
an adjacent building.
for certain appliances, it is essential to fit protection grids if the unit is installed in an
area which is unprotected and easily accessible.
during installation, repair and maintenance work, it is strictly prohibited to step on
pipes and hoses as these could break and the escaping refrigerant could cause
serious scalding.
when servicing the appliance, the composition and state of heat carrying fluid must
be checked, as well as the absence of any refrigerant.
during the annual unit sealing test in accordance with valid legislation, the high and
low pressure switches must be checked to ensure they are securely fastened to the
refrigeration circuit and that they shut‐off the electrical circuit when tripped.
during maintenance work, ensure there are no traces of corrosion or oil around
refrigeration components.
before beginning work on the refrigeration circuit, isolate the appliance and wait
several minutes before removing the temperature or pressure sensors. Certain
elements such as the compressor and associated piping may attain temperatures in
excess of 100°C and high pressures with the consequent risk of severe scalding.
3.3.2 Repair
all brazing work must be carried out by a qualified brazer/welder,
replacement pipes must always be made of copper in compliance with standard NF
EN 12735‐1.
leak detection, pressure test:
- never use oxygen or dry air, risk of fire or explosion,
- use dry nitrogen or the mixture of nitrogen and refrigerant indicated on the name
plate,
- the test pressure for both the high and low pressure circuits must not exceed 42
bar.
