to preventing the penetration of flammable atmospheres. Spare parts must be in
accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
NOTE: the use of silicone sealant may inhibit the effectiveness of some types of leak-
detection equipment. Intrinsically safe components do not have to be isolated before
work.
3. Repair of intrinsically safe components
Do not apply any permanent inductive or capacitive load to the circuit without
ensuring that it will not exceed the permissible voltage and current rating for the
equipment in use.
Intrinsically safe components are the only type of components that can be worked
on in a flammable atmosphere. The test instrumentation must have the correct
assigned features.
Replace components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts can
ignite the refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak.
4. Wiring
Verify that the wiring is not subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration,
sharp edges, or any other environmental effects. The verification should also take
into account the effects of ageing or continuous vibration from sources such as
compressors or fans.
5. Detection of flammable refrigerants
Under no circumstances should potential ignition sources be used in the search for
or detection of refrigerant leaks. Do not use a halide lamp or any other detector using
a naked flame.
6. Leak-detection methods
The following leak-detection methods are considered acceptable for systems
containing flammable refrigerants.
Electronic leak detectors should be used to detect flammable refrigerants, but
the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may need recalibration (the detection
equipment should be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area). Ensure that the detector
