Which statement correctly distinguishes ozone-depletion potential (ODP) from global-warming potential (GWP)?
- A
ODP compares climate impact with carbon dioxide, while GWP compares ozone depletion with CFC-11.
- B
ODP compares ozone-depletion impact with CFC-11, while GWP compares climate impact with carbon dioxide over a specified time horizon.
- C
ODP and GWP both measure ozone depletion, but use different time horizons.
- D
ODP and GWP both measure climate impact, but use different reference substances.
Which substance is the reference for comparing ozone-depletion potential?
In an ASHRAE safety group, A indicates the , while 1 means .
A technician identifies a cylinder as R-32. Which safety group is given for R-32 in the material?
- A
A1
- B
A2
- C
A2L
- D
B1
True or false: If a gauge reading corresponds to 40°F on an R-410A pressure–temperature chart, that alone proves the equipment is properly charged.
- A
True
- B
False
In the stated reference-chart example, what is the approximate R-410A saturation pressure at 40°F? Enter the value in psig.
A unit nameplate specifies R-410A, but the available cylinder is clearly labeled R-32. What is the appropriate response?
- A
Use the R-32 because it is used in similar equipment.
- B
Compare the two refrigerants’ pressures and use whichever is closer to the chart value.
- C
Combine a small amount of R-32 with the R-410A already specified by the nameplate.
- D
Stop and obtain the specified refrigerant and an approved procedure.
Which items should a technician verify from labels or manufacturer documentation before deciding whether a refrigerant is suitable for a unit? Select all correct choices.
- A
The exact refrigerant designation, including any suffix.
- B
The safety classification and warnings.
- C
The cylinder color as the sole means of identifying the refrigerant.
- D
The equipment’s specified refrigerant and factory charge.
- E
The manufacturer-specified pressure and operating limits for the equipment and components.
For a refrigerant blend with bubble-point and dew-point values, use the point specified for the calculation by the .
Which statements about EPA Section 608 requirements are supported by the material? Select all correct choices.
- A
Intentional venting of covered refrigerants is prohibited.
- B
Anyone may connect gauges to covered stationary equipment without certification.
- C
Certification is required for covered activities that include adding or removing refrigerant.
- D
An apprentice may qualify for an exemption only while closely and continually supervised by a certified technician.
A refrigerant leak is suspected in a poorly ventilated confined area, and someone nearby reports symptoms. What should a worker do, and what should the worker avoid doing?
Before using a pressure–temperature chart to interpret a system reading, which approach is appropriate?
- A
Treat its pressure values as equipment limits if the refrigerant is correct.
- B
Select the chart for the exact refrigerant and check whether it reports psig or psia.
- C
Use a chart for a refrigerant with similar pressure if the exact chart is unavailable.
- D
Assume its values are running pressures whenever the system reaches saturation.
During service, a reading approaches the stated limit of a system component. What is the appropriate next step?
- A
Continue operating while taking additional readings.
- B
Compare the reading with a chart for a refrigerant with similar pressure.
- C
Stop and consult qualified procedures or supervision.
- D
Reduce the refrigerant charge based only on the chart value.
A refrigerant container’s label is missing, and its identity cannot be confirmed from the job documentation. What should you do?
- A
Use the refrigerant that is most commonly used for this type of unit.
- B
Stop; do not guess or combine the contents, and seek clarification about the refrigerant identity and approved procedure.
- C
Mix a small amount with the refrigerant already in the system to identify it.
- D
Rely on the cylinder color and proceed if it appears familiar.
A blend’s P–T chart lists both bubble-point and dew-point values. Which value should you use for a particular calculation?
- A
Always use the bubble point because blends have a temperature range.
- B
Always use the dew point because it is the higher-temperature value.
- C
Use the point specified for that calculation by the manufacturer or service procedure.
- D
Average the bubble-point and dew-point values for every calculation.
A refrigerant has zero ozone-depletion potential. Which conclusion about its global-warming potential is justified?
- A
Zero ODP means the refrigerant also has zero GWP.
- B
Zero ODP does not establish that the refrigerant has low GWP.
- C
ODP and GWP are two names for the same environmental measure.
- D
GWP compares ozone depletion with the impact of CFC-11.
An apprentice may qualify for an exemption from certification for covered service activities only while closely and continually supervised by a certified technician.
- A
True
- B
False
According to the cited Arkema reference chart, what pressure value is listed for R-134a at a saturation temperature of 40°F? Enter the value in psig.
What document should you consult for detailed safety information about a refrigerant when needed?
