Please follow these warnings when to undertake the following when
servicing an appliance with R290.
Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable
refrigerants, safety checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of
ignition is minimized. For repair to the refrigerating system, the
following precautions shall be complied with prior to conducting work
on the system.
Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to
minimize the risk of a flammable gas or vapor being present while the
work is being performed.
All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be
instructed on the nature of work being carried out. Work in confined
spaces 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.
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.
2.2.5 Presence of fire extinguisher
If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or
be available to hand. Have a dry powder or CO

2.2.6 No ignition sources
No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigeration system
flammable refrigerant shall use any sources of ignition in such a
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.
2.2.7 Ventilated area
Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is 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
Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for
the purpose and to the correct specification. At all times the user's
manual shall be followed. If in doubt consult the customer service
department for help first.
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;
