29
Q

IT IS ILLEGAL TO VENT CFC AND HCFC REFRIGERANTS AS OF?

A

JULY 1, 1992

30
Q

WHAT TYPE OF REFRIGERANT IS CLASSIFIED AS “NATURAL REFRIGERANTS”?

A

HC

31
Q

WHAT IS THE VISUAL INDICATOR THAT A SYSTEM USES A FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANT?

A

LOOK AT THE DATA PLATE

32
Q

A RECOVERY CYLINDER LABELED FOR R-134a IS WEIGHED IN PREPARATION TO RECOVER R-134a FROM A SYSTEM. THE CYLINDER WEIGHS 31 POUNDS AND 13 OUNCES.
WHAT IS THE CYLINDER CAPACITY AND HOW MUCH MORE REFRIGERANT CAN BE ADDED TO THE CYLINDER?

A

0.764423077 X .8
= 0.611538462 X 67.46
= 41.25438465+26.9
= 68.154 38465 LBS = CYLINDER CAPACITY

ABOUT 37 MORE POUNDS CAN BE ADDED

33
Q

119 OZ - 2LBS 8 OZ=?

A

119 OZ - 40 OZ = 79 OZ = 4LBS 15 OZ

34
Q

12 LBS 5 OZ. - 2 LBS 8OZ.

A

197 OZ. - 40 OZ.= 157 OZ.= 9LBS 13 OZ.

35
Q

A RECOVERY CYLINDER OF R-410A WEIGHS 32 LBS. 3 OZ. TARE WEIGHT OF THE CYLINDER IS 26.9 LBS. HOW MANY POUNDS AND OUNCES OF REFRIGERANT IS IN THE CYLINDER?

A

5 LBS 4.6 oz

36
