Recovery
To remove refrigerant in any condition from appliance and appliance and store it, in an external container or isolate it in a portion of the system.
-
Recover and Reuse
Uncontaminated recovered refrigerant may be reused in a unit from which it was removed or another unit that is owned by the same owner.
-
Recycle
To clean refrigerant for reuse by separating oil from the refrigerant and removing moisture by passing it through one or more filter dryers.
-
Reclaim
To process refrigerant to a level equal to new product standards as determined by chemical analysis and must meet standards set forth in ARI-700.
-
November 15, 1993
Recovery and recycling equipment must be certified and labeled by EPA standards.
-
Recovery System Dependent
Captures refrigerant with the assistance of a pump from the appliance.
-
Recovery Self Contained
Draws the refrigerant out of the appliance using the appliances compressor.
-
evacuation essentials for accurate readings & speed
- vacuum lines should be equal or larger than the pump intake connection
- the piping conn. to the pump should be as short as possible and as large as diameter as poss.
- the system vacuum gauge should be connected as far as possible from the vacuum pump
-
the 4 compo-nits of the refrigeration system?
- compressor
- condenser
- metering device
- evaporator
-
ozone, o3 is made up approximately of what?
78% nitrogen 21% oxygen 1% other gasses
-
what is the weight / pressure of atmosphere at sea level?
14.696 lbs per square inch
-
what is the measurment in (HG) mercury at atmospheric pressure
29.92 (HG) inches
-
effects of vacuum pressure
increase in pressure
lowering the pressure
- increase boiling point of the liquid
- lowering the boiling point of the liquid
-
vacuum is read in inches of mercury to 29.92 (HG)
after that it is read in mm of microns 1/1000
-
how far is stratosphere
10 to 30 miles above sea level
-
before you dispose of any appliance containg cfc or hcfc ref. you must do what
recover the refrigerant
-
hcfc refrigerants are
less harmful to the stratosphere than cfc
-
which compounds have the highest depletion potential (ODP)
CFC
-
each chlorine atom in the stratosphere can destroy how many ozone molecules
10,000 ozone molecules
-
what characteristics of cfc make them more likely to reach the stratosphere than most other compounds containing chlorine
cfc neihter dissolve in water, nor break down into compounds, so they do not rain out of the atmosphere

-
temperature glide
has a range of boiling points and or condensing temp.
-
azeotropic refrigerants
- do not have a temp glide
- is a blended refrigerant that acts like a single blend
-
hygroscopic oil
- easily absorbs oil
- used in most refrigerant oi
