2.11 Recovery
When removng refrgerant from a system,
ether for servcng or decommssonng, t s
recommended good practce that all refrgerants
are removed safely. When transferrng refrgerant
nto cylnders, ensure that only approprate
refrgerant recovery cylnders are employed.
Ensure that the correct number of cylnders for
holdng the total system charge are avalable.
All cylnders to be used are desgnated for the
recovered refrgerant and labelled for that
refrgerant (.e. specal cylnders for the recovery
of refrgerant). Cylnders shall be complete wth
pressure relef valve and assocated shut-off
valves n good workng order. Empty recovery
cylnders are evacuated and, f possble, cooled
before recovery occurs.
The recovery equpment shall be n good workng
order wth a set of nstructons concernng the
equpment that s at hand and shall be sutable
for the recovery of flammable refrgerants.In
addton,a set of calbrated weghng scales shall
be avalable and n good workng order. Hoses
shall be complete wth leak-free dsconnect
couplngs and n good condton. Before usng the
recovery machne, check that t s n satsfactory
workng order, has been properly mantaned
and that any assocated electrcal components
are sealed to prevent gnton n the event of a
refrgerant release. Consult manufacturer f n
doubt.
The recovered refrgerant shall be returned to
the refrgerant suppler n the correct recovery
cylnder, and the relevant Waste Transfer Note
arranged. Do not mx refrgerants n recovery
unts and especally not n cylnders.
If compressors or compressor ols are to be
removed, ensure that they have been evacuated
to an acceptable level to make certan that
flammable refrgerant does not reman wthn the
lubrcant. The evacuaton process shall be carred
out pror to returnng the compressor to the
supplers. Only electrc heatng to the compressor
body shall be employed to accelerate ths process.
When ol s draned from a system, t shall be
carred out safely.

equpment repar procedures s requred when
equpment wth flammable refrgerants s
affected.
In many countres, ths tranng s carred out by
natonal tranng organsatons that are accredted
to teach the relevant natonal competency

The acheved competence should be documented
by a certfcate.
Tranng
The tranng should nclude the substance of the
followng:
Informaton about the exploson potental of
flammable refrgerants to show that flammables
may be dangerous when handled wthout care.
Informaton about potental gnton sources,
especally those that are not obvous, such as
