#1. According to the EPA, an appliance qualifies as “small appliance” if it is manufactured, charged and hermetically sealed at the factory with less than ___ pounds of refrigerant.

#2. Recovery equipment manufactured before November 15, 1993 must be capable of recovering ______ of the refrigerant:

70%

80%

90%

60%

#3. Recovery equipment manufactured AFTER November 15, 1993 must be capable of recovering ______ of the refrigerant, if the compressor is operating:

70%

80%

90%

60%

#4. Recovery equipment manufactured AFTER November 15, 1993 must be capable of recovering ______ of the refrigerant, if the compressor is not operating

70%

80%

90%

60%

#5. Checking the ______ inside the recovery tank allows you to check for air or non-condensables can be done by checking which of the following inside the recovery tank:

Density

Pressure

Compressing capacity

Temperature

#6. System dependent devices can be used to recover refrigerants from devices with less than ___ pounds of refrigerant.

#7. The units used in trailers should not be recovered using current recovery systems because

Trailer parks usually don’t allow HVAC technicians

The units contain ammonia, hydrogen or water

The units contain methyl formate, methyl chloride and sulphur dioxide

#8. Units manufactured before 1950 should not be recovered using current equipment because

Recovery old equipment is out of fashion

The units contain ammonia, hydrogen or water

The units contain methyl formate, methyl chloride and sulphur dioxide

#9. Why is it important to obtain an accurate pressure reading of refrigerant inside a recovery cylinder?

To detect any contamination with other refrigerants

To detect the presence of air or non-condensables inside

To identify any leaks in the system

#10. Non-condensables in a refrigeration system results in

High discharge pressure

High discharge temperature

High refrigerant density

All of the above

#11. Which of the following techniques are effective when trying to recover refrigerant into a non-pressurized container from a refrigerator with an inoperative compressor?

heating and striking the compressor sharply several times

using a vacuum pump

cooling the evaporator coil

All of the above

Both A and B

#12. After installing and opening a piercing access valve, it must be ensured that the system pressure is greater than _______ before beginning the recovery procedure.

0 psig

0 psia

14.7 psig

14.7 psia

#13. When recovering refrigerant from small appliances with inoperative compressors, the recovering unit must be connected to

Only the high side of the system

Only the low side of the system

both the high and low side of the system

#14. When using a system dependant recovery device with an operating compressor, _____

the compressor must be turned off

the compressor must be used to aid in the recovery process

the compressor must be chilled to speed up the recovery

#15. After the recovery is complete, it is important to remove solderless piercing valves because

they look ugly and impact the aesthetics of the units

they tend to leak over time

they obstruct the normal functioning of the unit

#16. Technicians that handle refrigerant during service, maintenance, or repair of small appliances must have:

Type I

Type I or Universal certification

Universal certification
