Refrigeration technicians who violate the Clean Air Act can - ANSWER: Lose
their EPA certification, be fined, be required to appear in Federal court.
After 1995, any supplies of CFC refrigerants to service existing units in the USA
can only come from - ANSWER: recovery and recycling.
The EPA can require a technician to demonstrate their ability to perform proper
procedures for recovering and/or recycling refrigerant. Failure to demonstrate
competency can result in - ANSWER: revocation of the technicians certification.
What characteristic(s) of CFCs make them more likely to reach the stratosphere
than most other compounds containing chlorine - ANSWER: Refrigerants that
contain chlorine but not hydrogen are so stable that they do not break down in the
lower atmosphere after being released. The chlorine or bromine reacts with the
ozone, causing it to change back to oxygen, thus destroying the ozone layer.
Refrigerant that is recovered can be returned to - ANSWER: the same system or
other systems owned by the same person without restriction.
,Refrigerant can not be called "reclaimed" unless it - ANSWER: . has been
chemically analyzed and the refrigerant meets the ARI-700 standard.
A system is considered dehydrated when - ANSWER: the vacuum indicator shows
you have reached and held the required finished vacuum.
Which refrigerant is an HCFC - ANSWER: R-123, R-124, R-22
What statement is true about an azeotropic refrigerant mixture - ANSWER: It is a
mixture that acts like a single-component refrigerant over its entire range.
Chlorofluorocarbos (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) have which of
the following in common - ANSWER: It is a mixture that acts like a
singlecomponent refrigerant over its entire range.
In general, blended refrigerants should be charged - ANSWER: as a liquid.
Blended refrigerants leak from a system - ANSWER: in uneven amounts due to
different vapor pressures.
Which of the following gases help form the earth's protective shield - ANSWER:
Stratospheric Ozone
To scrap a disposable cylinder, the internal cylinder pressure should be reduced to
at least - ANSWER: 0 psig.
, Manifold gauge sets are often color coded, when this is done, the high pressure
gauge is color coded - ANSWER: Red.
In a refrigerant system, the device that changes a low pressure vapor to a high
pressure vapor is the - ANSWER: compressor.
Data shows that chlorine in the stratosphere comes mainly from CFCs rather than
from natural sources such as volcanoes because - ANSWER: The rise in the
amount of chlorine in the stratosphere matches the rise in the amount of fluorine,
which has different natural sources than chlorine; The rise in the amount of
chlorine in the stratosphere matches the rise in CFC emissions; Air samples taken
from the stratosphere over erupting volcanoes show that volcanoes contribute a
small quantity of chlorine to the stratosphere when compared to CFCs;
The Montreal Protocol is - ANSWER: a treaty among nations that controls
production of CFCs and HCFCs.
Which refrigerant is an HCFC - ANSWER: R-123, R-22, R-124
What is one of the most serious results of damage to the ozone layer - ANSWER:
increases in human skin cancer
Which atom of the CFC molecule causes ozone depletion - ANSWER: chlorine
The ozone layer protects the earth from - ANSWER: ultraviolet radiation from the
sun.
