A refrigerant circuit can retain pressure in an isolated section even when the system is off.
- A
True
- B
False
Under EPA classifications, a refrigerant with a critical temperature below 104°F is even if it does not meet the saturation-pressure test.
At 104°F, what is the lower pressure boundary, in psia, of the EPA high-pressure range?
Why should a refrigerant’s pressure classification in psia not be compared directly with a service reading in psig?
- A
Psia and psig are interchangeable labels for the same reading.
- B
Psig is measured from a perfect vacuum, while psia is measured from atmospheric pressure.
- C
Psia is absolute pressure, while psig is measured relative to atmospheric pressure.
- D
Psia is used only for low-pressure refrigerants, while psig is used only for high-pressure refrigerants.
Which hazards can result from a refrigerant release? Select all that apply.
- A
A fast-moving jet can propel debris or cause a hose to whip.
- B
Liquid refrigerant can cause cold burns or eye injury.
- C
A refrigerant release always ignites when it contacts air.
- D
A release can create an oxygen-displacement or asphyxiation hazard.
Heating a pressurized refrigerant vessel can increase its pressure.
- A
True
- B
False
For routine work where liquid contact is possible, wear gloves suitable for .
A leak creates an unknown or potentially dangerous atmosphere. What is the appropriate immediate response?
- A
Stay in the area and use an air-purifying respirator while locating the leak.
- B
Leave the area, warn others, and follow the site emergency plan.
- C
Open nearby equipment to release any remaining pressure.
- D
Wait for the compressor to restart before deciding whether to evacuate.
Which practices are appropriate when preparing to open a refrigerant circuit? Select all that apply.
- A
Use the approved isolation, recovery, and pressure-verification procedures for the equipment.
- B
Use appropriately rated tools, hoses, fittings, and recovery equipment.
- C
Treat a stopped compressor as proof that every circuit section is depressurized.
- D
Keep cylinders secured and away from heat.
Which EPA appliance pressure class includes R-410A?
- A
Low-pressure
- B
Very-high-pressure
- C
High-pressure
- D
It cannot be classified without a service gauge reading.
Describe at least three distinct hazards associated with refrigerant work and connect each hazard to a relevant precaution or response.
You cannot confidently identify the refrigerant in an appliance before servicing it. What should you do to establish the correct classification?
- A
Infer the refrigerant from the equipment’s appearance and proceed.
- B
Verify the refrigerant and consult the equipment documentation.
- C
Use the compressor’s sound to identify the pressure class.
- D
Classify the appliance using whichever service pressure reading is available.
True or false: A face shield can replace safety glasses or goggles when splash or jet exposure is possible.
- A
True
- B
False
What is the lower pressure boundary of the EPA high-pressure classification at 104°F? Enter the value in psia.
At dangerous concentrations, what serious hazard can carbon dioxide cause?
A technician sees a changing gauge reading while servicing an appliance. Which pressure basis should be used to determine its EPA pressure class?
- A
The pressure shown by a service gauge during operation, in psig
- B
The refrigerant’s liquid-phase saturation pressure at 104°F, in psia
- C
The circuit pressure after the compressor stops, in psia
- D
The refrigerant’s vapor pressure at room temperature, in psig
During a task with possible liquid refrigerant contact and splash exposure, which PPE choice best follows the stated precautions?
- A
A face shield alone, with no other eye protection or gloves
- B
Ordinary work gloves and safety footwear only
- C
Safety glasses or goggles, a face shield if splash or jet exposure is possible, and gloves suitable for cold refrigerant contact
- D
A respirator alone, regardless of the task or hazard assessment
A pressurized refrigerant vessel is near a hot-work area. Which assessment best reflects the hazards that should be considered?
- A
Heating can increase vessel pressure, and flame or hot work may produce hazardous decomposition products.
- B
Heating reduces pressure, and flame prevents refrigerant decomposition.
- C
Only the compressor can raise pressure, so heating a vessel presents no additional concern.
- D
Heat is a concern only when the system is operating.
A facility uses specialized cryogenic refrigeration. Which refrigerant pressure class is associated with this type of application?
