After using a solderless access fitting during service, which action best completes the work?
- A
Leave the fitting in place as a permanent service valve
- B
Remove the fitting, restore the sealed system appropriately, and check for leaks
- C
Remove the fitting but leave the system unsealed
- D
Check for leaks only if the appliance compressor is functional
When using system-dependent recovery with an inoperative appliance compressor, select all the recovery procedures identified for this situation, including the access setup.
- A
Access both the high and low sides
- B
Use controlled warming
- C
Sharply tap the compressor
- D
Use a vacuum pump with a non-pressurized recovery container
- E
Heat the appliance with an open flame
- F
Rely on the inoperative appliance compressor to move refrigerant
True or false: Exposing refrigerants to high temperatures can cause decomposition that produces hazardous substances.
- A
True
- B
False
Which option is the alternative recovery endpoint described in the material, rather than a percentage of refrigerant recovered?
- A
Evacuate to 4% of atmospheric pressure
- B
Recover 4 pounds of refrigerant
- C
Evacuate the appliance to 4 in. Hg vacuum
- D
Recover 4% of the refrigerant
When checking an appliance’s refrigerant, explain what pressure and temperature readings can help you determine and what information you should compare them with.
A technician is servicing an older appliance originally designed for R-12. Which refrigerant is identified as a likely substitute to recognize for this application?
- A
R-22
- B
R-134a
- C
R-410A
- D
R-404A
A factory-manufactured, factory-charged, hermetically sealed unit contains exactly 5 pounds of refrigerant. Based on the Type I definition, which conclusion is correct?
- A
It qualifies as a small appliance because it is factory-manufactured, charged, and sealed, and its charge does not exceed 5 pounds.
- B
It does not qualify because small appliances must contain less than 5 pounds of refrigerant.
- C
It does not qualify because a small appliance must have a permanent service valve.
- D
It qualifies only if it is a household refrigerator or freezer.
A technician selects system-dependent recovery equipment for a small appliance. Which description best explains how this equipment moves refrigerant?
- A
It removes refrigerant without relying on any appliance components.
- B
It operates only by evacuating the appliance to a vacuum endpoint.
- C
It relies on appliance components to move refrigerant.
- D
It is used only when the appliance contains more than 5 pounds of refrigerant.
Instead of meeting a percentage-recovery endpoint, a technician uses the stated vacuum alternative before opening a small appliance. What magnitude, in inches of mercury vacuum, must the appliance reach?
A technician uses recovery equipment manufactured before November 15, 1993. Which percentage-recovery endpoint applies, regardless of the appliance compressor's condition?
- A
Recover 90% if the appliance compressor works and 80% if it does not.
- B
Recover 80% whether or not the appliance compressor works.
- C
Recover 90% whether or not the appliance compressor works.
- D
Recover 80% only if the appliance compressor does not work.
A small appliance has an inoperative compressor, and a technician is using a system-dependent recovery device. Which two sides must the technician access?
