Recovery removes refrigerant from equipment into an .
True or false: A recovery job is complete when enough time has passed and the recovery machine's inlet pressure has fallen.
- A
True
- B
False
For disposal of an appliance with a full charge of more than 5 pounds and less than 50 pounds, how many years must the specified EPA records be kept? Enter the number of years.
What is the required evacuation level for a medium-pressure appliance with a full charge of 200 pounds or more, using recovery machinery manufactured or imported on or after November 15, 1993?
- A
0 in. Hg vacuum
- B
10 in. Hg vacuum
- C
15 in. Hg vacuum
- D
25 mm Hg absolute
Under the leak exception, the lowest attainable evacuation level for leaking portions must not exceed .
What is the required evacuation level for a low-pressure appliance using recovery machinery manufactured or imported on or after November 15, 1993? Enter the numeric value; the unit is mm Hg absolute.
After you isolate an appliance, its pressure rises during stabilization. What is the appropriate response?
- A
Open the circuit because the first pressure reading was sufficient.
- B
Allow conditions to stabilize, investigate possible remaining refrigerant, and continue recovery as appropriate before verifying the required level again.
- C
Vent refrigerant until the pressure stops rising.
- D
Use the recovery machine's inlet gauge as the final verification.
Recovery is unusually slow or stops early. Which checks are appropriate? Select all that apply.
- A
Check for closed or incorrectly positioned valves.
- B
Check for restricted hoses or filters.
- C
Bypass a pressure switch to keep recovery going.
- D
Check machine airflow and power supply.
- E
Check whether the cylinder is full or overheated.
Which practices help ensure a recovery cylinder is filled safely? Select all that apply.
- A
Confirm the cylinder is intended and rated for recovery and is compatible with the refrigerant.
- B
Estimate the fill by looking at the cylinder.
- C
Check its tare weight and marked maximum gross weight.
- D
Weigh the cylinder during and after recovery.
- E
Assume every cylinder has the same safe refrigerant capacity.
Which process cleans refrigerant for reuse in equipment owned by the same person?
- A
Recovery
- B
Recycling
- C
Reclamation
- D
Evacuation
A technician cannot reach the required evacuation level on an appliance. Describe how the technician should investigate and, if a leak prevents the normal level, apply the regulatory exception and document the result.
True or false: A recovery job is complete if enough time has passed and the recovery machine's inlet pressure is falling, even if the appliance-side evacuation level has not been verified.
- A
True
- B
False
An appliance-side gauge reads 0 psig. Which interpretation is correct?
- A
It indicates a deep vacuum.
- B
It indicates atmospheric pressure, not a vacuum.
- C
It confirms all refrigerant has been removed.
- D
It means the appliance is below atmospheric pressure.
After you isolate an appliance, its pressure rises before the circuit is opened. What is the appropriate response?
- A
Open the circuit immediately because the initial reading was adequate.
- B
Vent refrigerant until the pressure stops rising.
- C
Allow conditions to stabilize, then continue recovery and recheck as appropriate.
- D
Treat the rebound as proof that the gauge is faulty.
While recovering refrigerant into a cylinder, how should a technician avoid exceeding its permitted fill?
- A
Estimate the refrigerant amount from the cylinder's appearance.
- B
Weigh the cylinder and stay within its marked filling limit.
- C
Use the same refrigerant capacity limit for every cylinder.
- D
Stop weighing once the cylinder begins to feel warm.
Using the listed EPA evacuation levels for recovery machinery manufactured or imported on or after November 15, 1993, what evacuation level applies to a high-pressure appliance with a full charge of 250 lb?
A recovered refrigerant's identity is uncertain and contamination is suspected. What should the technician do?
- A
Keep it separate, identify the uncertainty, and arrange appropriate handling.
- B
Mix it with a known refrigerant to dilute the contamination.
- C
Treat it as clean refrigerant if its pressure seems normal.
- D
Vent it to avoid storing an unidentified refrigerant.
What is the process called when refrigerant is cleaned for reuse in equipment owned by the same person?
A technician plans to sell recovered refrigerant to a different owner. What must happen before resale under the stated Section 608 rules?
- A
It may be resold without further processing if it was recovered safely.
- B
It only needs to be recycled by the technician who recovered it.
- C
It must be reclaimed by an EPA-certified reclaimer before resale.
- D
It must always be destroyed before ownership can change.
