• Equipment shall be labeled stating that it has been decommissioned and emptied of re-
frigerant. The label shall be dated and signed. Ensure that there are labels on the equip-
ment stating the equipment contains flammable refrigerant.
1 8 . RECOV E RY
• When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is
recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely.
• When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant re-
covery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding
the total system charge are available. All cylinders to be used are designed for the recov-
ered refrigerant and labeled for that refrigerant(i.e.special cylinders for the recovery of
refrigerant). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure relief value and associated shut-
off values 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 con-
cerning 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 work 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 re-
covery 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 evacu-
ated 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 returning the
compressor to the suppliers. Only electric heating to the compressor body shall be em-
ployed to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a system, it shall be carried
out safely.

• Storage package protection should be constructed such that mechanical damage to the
equipment inside the package will not cause a leak of the refrigerant charge.
• The maximum number of pieces of equipment permitted to be stored together will be
determined by local regulations.
