Note On Adding Refrigerant

CAUTION
• Refrigerant charging must be performed after wiring, vacuuming and the leak test.
• DO NOT exceed the maximum allowable quantity of refrigerant or overcharge the system.
Doing so can damage or impact the unit’s function.
• Charging with unsuitable substances may cause explosions or accidents. Ensure that the
appropriate refrigerant is used.
• Refrigerant containers must be opened slowly. Always use protective gear when charging the
system.
• DO NOT mix refrigerants types.
• For the R290 or R32 refrigerant model, make sure the condtions within the area have been
made safe by control of flammable material when the refrigerant added into air conditioner.
• The maximum refrigerant charge amount of R32 is 305 grams.
Some systems require additional charging depending on pipe lengths. The standard pipe length
varies according to local regulations. For example, in North America, the standard pipe length is
7.5m (25’) In other areas, the standard pipe length is 5m (16‘). The additional refrigerant to be
charged can be calculated using the following formula:

• This unit contains factory charged refrigerant covering 20m of refrigerant piping and additional
refrigerant charge on the installation site is not required for an installation with up to 20m
refrigerant piping. When refrigerant piping exceeds 20m, additionally charge an amount
calculated from the pipe length and the above table for the portion in excess of 20m.
• If an existing pipe system is used, a required refrigerant charge volume will vary depending on
the liquid pipe size.
Formula to calculate the volume of additional refrigerant required:
Additional charge volume (kg) = { Main length (m) – Factory charged volume 20(m) } × 0.03(kg/m)
• Make sure to remove the additional refrigerant amount according to the nameplate rated
charge (under 5m refrigerant piping ) under market or government verification testing .

1. Checks to the area
Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary
to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimised. For repair to the refrigerating system, the following
precautions shall be complied with prior to conducting work on the system.
2. Work procedure
Works shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise the risk of a
flammable gas or vapour being present while the work is being performed.
3. General work area
All mintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the nature of work
being carried out. work in confined sapces shall be avoided. The area around the work space shall
be sectioned off. Ensure that the conditions within the area have been made safe by control of
flammable material.
4. Checking for presence of refrigerant
The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to and during work,
to ensure the technician is aware of potentially flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak
detection equipment being used is suitable for use with flammable refrigerants, i.e. no sparking,
adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
5. Presence of fire extinguisher
If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts, appropriate
fire extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry power or CO2 fire extinguisher
adjacent to the charging area.
6. No ignition sources
No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigeration system which involves exposing any pipe
work that contains or has contained flammable refrigerant shall use any sources of ignition in such a
manner that it may lead to the risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including cigarette
smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the site of installation, repairing, removing and
disposal, during which flammable refrigerant can possibly be released to the surrounding space. Prior
to work taking place, the area around the equipment is to be surveyed to make sure that there are
no flammable hazards or ignition risks. NO SMOKING signs shall be displayed.
7. Ventilated area
Ensure that the area is in the open or that it it adequately ventilated before breaking into the system
or conducting any hot work. A degree of ventilation shall continue during the period that the work is
carried out. The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it
externally into the atmosphere.
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:
Information
Servicing

 Page 34 
 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 circuits shall be checked
for the presence of refrigerant; marking to the equipment continues to be visible and
legible.
 marking 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, and 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.

10. Repairs to sealed components


10.1 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.
10.2 Particular attention shall be paid to the following to ensure that by working on electrical
components, the casing is not altered in such a way that the level of protection is affected.
This shall include damage to cables, excessive number of connections, terminals not made
to original specification, damage to seals, incorrect fitting of glands, etc.
Ensure that apparatus is mounted securely.
Ensure that seals or sealing materials have not degraded such that they no longer serve
the purpose of preventing the ingress of flammable atmospheres. Replacement parts shall
be in accordance with the manufacturer s specifications.
NOTE: The use of silicon sealant may inhibit the effectiveness of some types of leak detection
equipment. Instrinsically safe components do not have to be isolated prior to working on them.
Information
Servicing

 Page 35 
11. Repair to intrinsically safe components
Do not apply any permanent inductive or capacitance loads to the circuit without ensuring
that this will not exceed the permissible voltage and current permitted for the equipment in
use. Intrinscially safe components are the only types that can be worked on while live in the
presence of a flammable atmosphere. The test apparatus shall be at the correct rating.
Replace components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts may result
in the ignition of refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak.
12. Cabling
Check that cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp
edges or any other adverse environmental effects. The check shall also take into account the
effects of aging or continual vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.
13. Detection of flammable refrigerants
Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching for or
detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch(or any other detector using a naked flame)
shall not be used.
14. Leak detection methods
The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for systems containing flammable
refrigerants. Electronic leak detectors shall be used to detect flammable 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. 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 confirmed. Leak detection fluids are suitable for use with
most refrigerants but 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 flames shall be removed or extinguished. If a leakage of refrigernat
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 . Oxygen free
nitrogen(OFN) shall then be purged through the system both before and during the brazing process.

15. Removal and evacuation


When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs of for any other purpose
conventional procedures shall be used, However, it is important that best practice is followed
since flammability is a consideration. The following procedure shall be adhered to:
 remove refrigerant;
 purge the circuit with inert gas;
 evacuate;
 purge again 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
flushed with OFN to render the unit safe. This process may need to be repeated several times.
Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for this task.
Flushing shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with OFN and continuing to
fill until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere, and finally pulling down
to a vacuum. This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the system.
Information
Servicing

 Page 36 
When the final 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 closed to any ignition sources and there
is ventilation available.
16. 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 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.

17. 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.
a) Become familiar with the equipment and its operation.
b) Isolate system electrically
c) Before attempting the procedure ensure that:
 mechanical handling equipment is available, if required, for handling refrigerant cylinders;
 all personal protetive 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.
f) Make sure that cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes place.
g) Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with manufacturer s instructions.
h) Do not overfill cylinders. (No more than 80% volume liquid charge).
i) Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily.
j) When the cylinders have been filled correctly and the process completed, make sure that
the cylinders and the equipment are removed from site promptly and all isolation valves
on the equipment are closed off.
k) Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system unless it has
been cleaned and checked.

18. 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 flammable refrigerant.
19. Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for service or decommissioning, it is
recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely.
When tranferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant
recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct numbers of cylinders for holding
the total system charge are available. All cylinders to be used are designated for the
recovered refrigerant and labelled for that refrigerant(i.e special cylinders for the
recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure relief valve and
associated shut-off valves in good working order.
Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if possible, cooled before recovery occurs.
The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of instructions
concerning the equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery of
flammable refrigerants. In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall be available
and in good working order.
Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and in good condition. Before
using the recovery machine, check that it is in satisfactory working order, has been
properly maintained and that any associated electrical components are sealed to prevent
ignition in the event of a refrigerant release. Consult manufacturer if in doubt.
The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct
recovery cylinder, and the relevant Waste Transfer Note arranged. Do not mix refrigerants
in recovery units and especially not in cylinders.
If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been
evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain that flammable refrigerant does not
remain within the lubricant. The evacuation process shall be carried out prior to retruning
the compressor to the suppliers. Only electric heating to the compressor body shall be
employed to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a system, it shall be carried
out safely.
