IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
15. Recovery
When removing
system, either
decommissioning, it is recommended
good practice that all refrigerants are
removed safely.
When transferring
cylinders, ensure that only appropriate
refrigerant recovery
employed. Ensure
number of cylinders for holding the total
system charge is available. All cylinders to
be used are designated for the recovered
refrigerant and
refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders for the
recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall
be complete with pressure-relief valve
and associated shut-off valves 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
concerning the equipment that is at hand
refrigerant from
for servicing
refrigerant into
cylinders are
that the correct
labelled for that
and shall be suitable for the recovery of
the flammable refrigerant. If in doubt, the
a
manufacturer should be consulted. In
or
addition, a set of calibrated weighing
scales shall be available and in good
working order. Hoses shall be complete
with leak-free disconnect couplings and
in good condition.
The recovered
processed according to local legislation in
the correct recovery 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
evacuated to an acceptable level to make
certain that flammable refrigerant does
not remain within the lubricant. The
compressor body shall not be heated by
an open flame or other ignition sources to
accelerate this process. When oil is
drained from a system, it shall be carried
out safely.
refrigerant shall be
