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. 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
pipework are to take place.
Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any ignition
sources and there is ventilation available.
5.4.7 Charging Procedures
In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements
shall be followed.
(1) 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.；
(2) Cylinders shall be kept upright.；
(3) Ensure that the refrigeration system is earthed prior to charging the system
with refrigerant；
(4) Label the system when charging is complete (if not already).
(5) Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill the refrigeration system.
(6) 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.
5.4.8 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:
(1) Become familiar with the equipment and its operation；
(2) Isolate system electrically.：
