CHAPTER PAGE

The below provides general information for CFC, HCFC and HFC refrigerants For more details please refer to the applicable Safety Data Sheet These can be downloaded from wilhelmsen com/shipsservice orwssproducts wilhelmsen com under the Documentation tab of each refrigerant

1.1 ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS

• All refrigerants have a global warming potential and therefore contribute to the greenhouse effect when released into the atmosphere

• CFC and HCFC refrigerants also contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer when released into the atmosphere (please refer to table on page 12 in this guide)

1.2 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

• Odour: Sweet ether-like odour • Appearance: Liquefied gas • Contact with eye: May cause irritation • Contact with skin: Possible frost-bite

of affected areas • Inhalation: May cause dizziness,

confusion, headache or stupor In case of severe exposure, unconsciousness may develop

1.3 HANDLING AND STORAGE

StorageDo not expose cylinders to temperatures above 45ºC, 113ºF Store as a compressed gas Keep in a well-ventilated place Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and other sources of ignition

The gas is normally transported under pressure in gas cylinders In case of a leak, prevent sparks and open flames

Safety measures to protect persons• Always wear eye protection and

leather gloves or other insulated gloves

• Protective clothing should be worn if there is a possibility of direct contact or splashes

• Wear safety boots when handling refrigerant cylinders

• Never lift a cylinder by the top valve • Always keep the cylinder cap on

when moving the cylinder • Always assume that the cylinder

contains gas • Wear self-contained breathing

apparatus in high gas concentrations • Provide good ventilation

Safety measures to protect the environment• Do not release refrigerants to the

atmosphere • Always use proper recovery equipment • Empty cylinders should be returned

to the supplier • Obsolete refrigerants must be

returned to an approved reception facility

Proper methods for damage limitation and cleanupStop leaks immediately, if possible without jepordising personal safety Move leaking cylinder(s) to the open air, where the leak will not jeopardise personal safety

Exposure controlRefrigerant gases are heavier than air and will accumulate on the ground They may cause suffocation by reducing oxygen available for breathing Wear self-contained breathing apparatus in confined spaces

1. Safe handling when

working with refrigerants


PAGE 04 / 05

1.4 ACCIDENTAL HUMAN EXPOSURE TO GAS OR LIQUID

GeneralProvide fresh air and keep the patient warm and at rest If in doubt, seek immediate medical advice

InhalationHigh concentrations or prolonged exposure may cause headache and dizziness, as well as unconsciousness and other central nervous system disorders Provide fresh air, keep the patient warm and at rest Perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and cardiac massage if necessary

Skin contactFirst aid treatment of frostbite after skin contact with liquid refrigerant: flush with large amounts of lukewarm water (about 40ºC, 104ºF) Do not remove clothing if frostbitten Frostbite must be treated by a doctor

Eye contactContact with gas or vapour has no effect In case of splashes or symptoms due to high vapour concentrations,

flush the eyes immediately with a soft jet of preferably lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes Get immediate medical attention Continue to rinse

IngestionIngestion is not considered a serious risk DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! Give the patient 1-2 glasses of water, or preferably milk, to drink if the affected person is fully conscious Get immediate medical advice

Medical informationDo not give adrenalin or equivalent medicines

1.5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Under pressure fluorinated refrigerants can be combustible when mixed with air and oil

Main fire fighting measureCool the cylinder with large amounts of water from a safe distance

Fire and explosion hazards Cylinders may explode when heated Fire or high temperatures will cause formation of toxic gases, vapors and fumes

Personal protection when fire fighting If refrigerants are involved in fire, use self-contained breathing apparatus

Other informationRemove gas cylinders from the fire area Do not move any cylinder which has been involved in fire until it has cooled down

2. Charging and

recovery of refrigerants

• Unitor recovery cylinders are fitted with dual port valves.

• They are made to DOT 4BA 400 standards.

• They are designed especially for recovery purposes.

2.1 PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR CHARGING AND RECOVERY OPERATIONS

1 Read the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) on all compounds including refrigerants and compressor oils that you are likely to come in contact with Refrigerant SDS’s can be downloaded from wilhelmsen com/shipsservice under the Documentation and Literature section

2 Never overfill recovery cylinders Overfilling may cause the recovery cylinder to burst Safety codes state that recovery cylinders are filled to a maximum of 80% of their volume with liquid (the remaining 20% is used for thermal expansion) Use a weighing scale for filling control (Ref table section 2 2)

3 Use only approved recovery cylinders and ensure the cylinders have the correct pressure rating

4 Do not mix refrigerants in a recovery cylinder

5 Keep the lengths of recovery hoses as short as possible When increased through put is required use larger diameter hoses

6 The key to quick recovery is to recover the liquid refrigerant first

7 Some refrigerant blends are mixtures of gases with different volatility that appreciably change in composition or temperature as it evaporates or condenses at a given pressure, causing a temperature glide A refrigerant blend assigned a R-400 series ASHRAE number designation, is a zeotrope (See glossary )

Note: All zeotropic blends must be charged to the refrigeration system in the liquid phase

2.2 REFRIGERANT RECOVERY CYLINDERS

Stringent emission regulations prohibit venting of refrigerants into the atmosphere Hence, in order to be compliant, recovery cylinders are required to store recovered refrigerants from onboard refrigeration machinery

3. Global warming

potential

Global warming potential (GWP) also known as “greenhouse effect” is the next environmental issue to get international focus after the ozone depletion

All refrigerants have GWP, and several legislative bodies have introduced maximum levels for refrigerants to be used onboard marine refrigeration installations HFC’s (Hydro Fluoro Carbons) are potent greenhouse gases, contributing significantly to climate change So far, the European Union is the only governmental body that has actively worked to reduce HFC emissions EU regulation 517/2014 (“F-gas regulation”) has been implemented and is valid for EU and EU flag ships from January 1st, 2015 This regulation will put a cap on import / production / availability of HFC refrigerants with high GWP, and reduce availability year on year until the final agreed reduction of 79% is achieved in 2030 R-404A and R-507 will be illegal in new systems from 2020 Other countries are considering similar measures to reduce the global warming / greenhouse effect, so more regulations are expected in the near future

Several countries have introduced CO2 - tax, (carbon-tax, environmental deposit, environmental fee) in order to minimize emissions of HFC’s to the atmosphere These taxes/fees are calculated based on the GWP for the refrigerant, and are already introduced by 33 countries (i e Australia, Norway and more) GWP is calculated according to formula introduced by IPCC (See glossary, page 16)

GWP – THE NEXT HOT TOPIC

4. Enviro return management

ROTARY KILN INCINERATOR

The global ban on the production and consumption of CFC and HCFC refrigerants as well as halons (hereafter referred to as Ozone Depleting Substances - ODS), as regulated by the 1987 Montreal Protocol, leads to a significant shift to substances with zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), for example, HFC refrigerants

In order to limit the emission of ODS to the atmosphere, international

treaties, major Flag States and Classification Societies focus on handling of refrigeration systems in an environmental responsible manner Therefore, any service on systems containing ODS (e g repairs, retrofits and conversions) requires a system that can deal with potential ODS waste in a responsible manner, utilizing approved technologies for recovery, recycling, reclamation or disposal

Wilhelmsen Ships Service has established such a concept on a global basis The Enviro Return Management concept (ERM) complies with applicable global treaties, local regulations as well as good practice Today, ERM is available in major EU ports, and is being expanded to other areas around the world

5. Refrigerant quality

and its impact on refrigeration

machinery

In order to allow trouble-free and safe operation of refrigeration systems, refrigerants must comply with certain quality standards - just as compressors, the control systems, the piping and other essential components have to meet specific quality standards A major quality concern with regard to refrigerants is their purity The moisture content in the refrigerant is of great importance: too much moisture can cause serious operational problems A drop of water may look harmless enough, but to a refrigeration system moisture is enemy number one Water can enter a system through sub-quality refrigerants during top-up

5.1 MOISTURE IN REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS

Excessive moisture in refrigeration systems may cause the following four major conditions:

Freeze upsFreeze ups occur when moisture picked up by the refrigerant starts to freeze, building ice crystals that block the refrigerant passage in narrow passageways, for example in the expansion valve This effect is called intermittent cooling, as the compressor stops after a while due to the blockage in the expansion valve and starts again when the ice crystals have melted and allow the refrigerant to pass through

again This is a periodical process of constant freezing and melting of the moisture inside the system, causing a periodical stop/start operation of the compressor

CorrosionMoisture alone in the form of water can cause corrosion However, moisture plus a refrigerant containing Chlorine (like for example the HCFC R-22 and mixtures) creates much more serious corrosion, as the Chlorine will slowly hydrolyse with the water and form Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) which is aggressive to most metals Heat adds significantly to the problem by accelerating the acid-forming process When it comes to the HFC refrigerants, it is the oil (especially polyolester oils that are very hygroscopic) that may decompose at high temperatures forming aggressive Hydrofluoric acid with the moisture contained in the refrigerant

Oil sludgingAs refrigeration oil is highly hygroscopic, it rapidly absorbs moisture Moisture changed into acid from the hydrolyses with a refrigerant (see above) can be especially dangerous, as it emulsifies with the refrigeration oil to form aggressive oil sludge that greatly reduces its lubrication properties, which can result in serious compressor damage

Sludge formationDue to high acid content inside a system, a solid product can be formed It exists as fine powders or sticky solids and it is commonly known as sludge This sludge can cause a variety of problems such as blockages of fine strainers, expansion valves and capillary tubes And because sludge usually contains acid, it can also be strongly corrosive Acid will, over time, attack the windings in hermetic compressors

QualityTo rectify problems caused by too much moisture inside refrigeration systems can be a costly exercise If the moisture enters the system with the refrigerant it will lead to continuous costly repairs that rectify the consequences but do not eliminate the cause

It is therefore important that refrigerants comply with appropriate quality standards with regards to their purity

In order to ensure trouble-free and safe operation of your onboard refrigeration machinery, all refrigerants supplied by Wilhelmsen Ships Service throughout the world comply with the stringent ARI 700-2006 standard that defines and benchmarks the purity of these substances ARI 700-2006 demands the moisture content to be less than 10 ppm

6. Compressor oil

6.1 GUIDELINES ON REFRIGERATION OILS

Correct lubricant selection for a refrigeration system is important not only for the compressor itself, but also to ensure that the oil does not separate from the refrigerant gas in any part of the plant If the oil type or supply manufacturer is mixed, incompatibility and hence poor miscibility within the plant can cause problems

With the wide range of mineral and synthetic products on the market, coupled with different additive technology, it is vitally important to check oil miscibility prior to top-up with a different grade oil The alternative is to drain the oil completely from a refrigeration system, which can be very difficult or even impossible without strenuous procedures During warranty, compressor and/or system designers often prohibit the use of non-approved refrigeration oils

6.2 OIL TESTING

A field test of oil can be done by visually inspecting the oil and using an oil acid test kit to determine if the system has been exposed to moisture

Oil samples can also be sent to a laboratory for analysis; this routine requires clean sample bottles and

is used for systems containing large quantities of oil

6.3 OIL CHANGING PROCEDURES

Refer to manufacturers recommendations on oil change intervals These may be annually or could be more frequent if the oil becomes dark or cloudy A good rule is to renew the oil if a major service or repair has been done to the compressor or the system

For changing the oil in a standard condensing unit, it is normal to replace the oil charge in the compressor crankcase It is also recommended to clean or change the oil filter (if applicable) and the refrigerant drier filter cores at the same time

Normal oil change procedure:

1 Run pump down and shut down the unit

2 Close the service valves on the compressor

3 Ensure that any crankcase oil heaters are switched off

4 Drain oil carefully from the compressor crankcase

5 If the oil has been drained with the compressor pressurised, new oil can

be charged with an oil-filling pump capable of working against pressure

6 Fit the oil pump to the oil container according to manufacturer’s instructions, attach pump to compressor with a charging hose and leave the hose connection to compressor loose Pump oil into the charging hose until it is filled This is necessary to prevent air from entering the system and to ensure proper pump function when working against a presurised system

If the compressor has been opened for inspection or repair:

7 Ensure that the compressor crankcase is clean

8 Run deep vacuum on the compressor using a vacuum pump, preferably down to 500 micron

9 Charge oil using the vacuum to suck up the oil from the container into the crankcase

10 Remember to switch on the crankcase oil heater if applicable and allow time for the oil to be heated before the unit is put back in operation

NoteUsed refrigeration oil must be returned to an approved waste reception facility
