24
Q

Refrigeration Procedures

A
  1. Defrosting
  2. Leak Detection
  3. Lubrication
25
Q

When is defrosting required?

A

Ice builds up on evaporator coils

26

Methods of defrosting

A

Natural Defrost
Hot Gas Defrosting
Electrical Heating coils

27
Q

How often is natural Defrost carried out?

A

Every 3-6 months

28

A

Max of 1hr per 24hrs

29
Q

How often is electrical heating coils carried out?

A

Max of 1hr every 24hrs

30
Q

Why is Leak Detection used?

A

Refrigerant leaks are harmful to the environment and reduce refrigerant plant efficiency

31

Methods of Leak Detection

A
  1. Oil Slicks
  2. IRLDS
  3. Spectrolyne dye
  4. Snoop
  5. Halogen Leak Detector
32
Q

What is an oil Slicks?

A

where oil is leaking there will also be refrigerant leaking

33
Q

IRLDS

A

Infra-red leak detection system

34
Q

What kind of lubricants are needed for compressors?

A

Hygroscopic lubricants

35
Q

What do hygroscopic lubricants do?

A

Absorb moisture from the atmosphere

36
Q

What kinds of oils are used in refrigeration?

A

SUNISO 3GS
SW68
OM70

37
Q

What source should oils be used

A

New, unopened cans

38
Q

Methods of How is oil added to compressors

A
  1. Sump Filler Plug
  2. Hand Punp
  3. Dosing pot
39
Q

What is the Montreal protocol?

A

Agreement to phase out harmful ozone depleting substances

40
Q

Montreal Protocol substances

A

CFC
HCFC
Halons

41
Q

What is the Kyoto summit

A

Agreement to reduce all Greenhouse gases

42
Q

Greenhouse gas substances

A

Co2, HFC, PFC

43
Q

How is phosphine gas produced?

A

Refrigerants are heavier than air and will displace Oxygen
If exposed to high temperatures they can produce PHOSGENE GAS

44
Q

Hazards of refrigerants

A

Can produce Cold Burns on exposed skin (Frost Bite)

Decomposing Fruit and Veg can produce CO²

45
Q

What so you do if refrigerant gets in your eyes

A

flushing with running water and then require medical treatment.

46

47
Q

What should happen to oil after use?

A

It should be disposed of in accordance with MARPOL

48
Q

Chilled water provides cooling for…

A
