What does the stratospheric ozone layer absorb?
The stratospheric ozone layer absorbs much of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation.
How can CFCs and HCFCs deplete stratospheric ozone?
UV light can break down CFCs and HCFCs in the stratosphere, releasing chlorine atoms that destroy ozone. CFCs generally have high ODP; HCFCs have lower, but nonzero, ODP.
What does global warming potential (GWP) compare?
GWP compares a gas’s heat-trapping effect with carbon dioxide over a specified period.
Does zero ODP mean a refrigerant has no climate impact?
No. A refrigerant can have zero ODP but still have high GWP and contribute to climate impacts.
When is Section 608 certification generally required?
In general, a technician needs the appropriate EPA Section 608 certification for work reasonably expected to release refrigerant, such as attaching gauges or opening a refrigerant circuit.
What does the Section 608 venting prohibition generally bar?
It generally prohibits knowingly releasing ozone-depleting refrigerants and covered substitutes during service, repair, maintenance, or disposal. Use recovery equipment instead of intentionally venting refrigerant.
What equipment does Type I certification cover?
Type I covers small appliances that are factory-made, charged, hermetically sealed, and contain five pounds or less of refrigerant.
What is refrigerant recovery?
Recovery removes refrigerant from an appliance and stores it in an external container; it does not require cleaning or testing.
How many questions are on a Universal Section 608 test?
A Universal test has 100 questions: 25 Core questions and 25 questions for each of Types I, II, and III.
What equipment does Type II certification cover?
Type II covers high- or very-high-pressure appliances, except small appliances and motor-vehicle air conditioners.
What equipment does Type III certification cover?
Type III certification covers low-pressure appliances.
What equipment does Universal certification cover?
Universal certification covers all equipment covered by Types I, II, and III.
