HAZOP Study of Refrigeration cycle
Guideword Deviation
Causes
consequences
Action
No Flow
No flow of cooling
agent
Very low temperature
in condenser
No cooling
More
More flow agent
Improper checking,
loose valve
Fouling
Fouling can be b/w
evaporator and
condenser tube
Leakages of
refrigerant
it can lead to
increased energy
use by the
compressor.
Failure
Compressor failure
lubrication problems,
overheating,
slugging, flood back
and contamination
It may not work
properly
Restriction
Liquid line
restriction
Some type of
contamination
Abnormally high
discharge
temperature, Low
current draw, High
superheats, Low
condensing
pressures
Perform a freeze test
