2 Warnings (for using R290 refrigerant only)
8. 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. Intrinsically
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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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 used. Leak detection equipment
shall be set at a percentage of the LFL of the refrigerant and shall
