COMMISSIONING OF THE AIR CONDITIONING

– Refrigerant must be handled with care to avoid serious personal injury.


– Wear safety goggles to prevent refrigerant from contacting your eyes. Refrigerant can cause serious frost bite
or blindness because of its low boiling temperature. In case of eye contact, flush with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes. Call a Physician. Wash skin with soap and water.
– Do not overheat the refrigerant container. Temperatures above 40°C will cause excessive container pressures
which can cause the container to burst.
– When it is necessary to heat service cans for charging in cold weather, use warm water at a temperature
below 40°C.
– Do not smoke or discharge refrigerant near an open flame. When refrigerant vapor contacts an open flame,
poisonous gas is produced.
– When removing refrigerant from the system, use a recovery process that minimizes refrigerant loss to the
atmosphere.
– Use caution with a refrigeration system in a closed or confined area with a limited air supply. Refrigerant dis-
places air and can cause oxygen depletion, resulting in suffocation and possible death.
– If refrigerant was inhaled, move victim to fresh air and use cardiopulmonary resuscitation or mouth to mouth
ventilation, if necessary. Stay with victim until arrival of emergency medical personnel.
– All work on the air conditioning should be carried out by well trained refrigeration specialists only.
– General Instructions regarding Commissioning of the Air Conditioning
Absolute cleanliness must be ensured when working on the air conditioning system, as practically all the faults that
arise can be traced back to the presence of dirt. As a refrigeration system is a closed system, any foreign bodies
remain in the system until they cause a problem or even serious damage, which can then usually only be repaired
at a great deal of trouble and expense. The system may nevertheless appear to start up and work perfectly nor-
mally. Damage caused by foreign bodies and dirt may not manifest itself for many month.
The continued proper functioning of the system depends on thorough and professional standards of work right
from the outset. This entails proper storage and keeping all components closed and/or covered, through profes-
sional installation and assembly. In repair situations as well, right up to the scrupulous checking for leaks, cleaning,
filling and commissioning of the system.
Professional and careful handling of tools, vacuum pumps, gauge manifold, etc. will provide many years of reliable
system operation.

Following commissioning every air conditioning system must be checked for leaks. Leaks not only means loss of
refrigerant and hence reduced cooling capacity, they can also result in the ingress of moisture, which will eventu-
ally cause problems in the system. A pressure test must first be performed when a new system has been installed.
Dry nitrogen 4.6 or 5.0 at 20 to max. 25 bar is used for the pressure test. This has the advantage that serious leaks
or loose connections can be detected without the loss of any expensive refrigerant. In addition, the use of nitrogen
purges (and hence cleans) the system as part of the pressure test. Do not add any kind of additives or contrast
substances to the refrigerant oil and/or refrigerant. If the pressure in a closed system does not fall, it can be
assumed that there is no leakage in the system.

Check refrigerant level.


Switch on air conditioning equipment and run at maximum capacity for approx. 5 minutes. Observe inspection
glass (3). A refrigerant flow loaded with bubbles or foam indicates a lack of refrigerant. In this case add the missing
quantity of refrigerant.
