EPA Type 1 Practice
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| When a system is deep in vacuum | Never energize the compressor |
| If, after installing a fitting for the purpose of recovering the appliances refrigerant, you find that the system pressure is 0 psig | Refrigerant recovery is not required |
| Technicians who perform sealed system service on small appliances must have | Type 1 or Universal certification |
| Small appliances in recreational vehicles may use refrigerants such as Ammonia, Hydrogen, and water. These refrigerants | Should not be recovered |
| A small appliance is defined by EPA as | Appliances manufactured, charged, and hermetically sealed in a factory that contain 5 lbs or less of refrigerant |
| When using a system dependent recovery system on an appliance that has a non operating compressor, the technician should | Place access fitting on both low and high side of the system. |
| Self contained or active recovery equipment | Has its own means to recover refrigerant |
| If a strong odor is detected while performing a refrigerant recovery process | A compressor burnout has likely occured |
| Small appliances are equipped with a straight piece of tubing(process tube) that is used | As the installation location for a piercing type access valve |
| When using a system dependent recovery system on an appliance that has an operating compressor, the technician should | Run the compressor and recover from the high side of the system only |
| When filling a charging cylinder with regulated refrigerant | The refrigerant vapor that is vented off the top of the cylinder must be recovered |
| If regulations change after the technician becomes certified | The technician is responsible for complying with any changes to the regulations |
| Type 1 Certification is required for | Person's handling refrigerant during maintenance, service, or repair of small appliances |
| Which HC refrigerant is allowed for use in NEW Domestic Small Appliances | R-600a |
| Recovering multiple types of refrigerants in the same cylinder | Will make the reclaimed refrigerants unreclaimable |
| Recovery equipment must be | Certified by an EPA approved testing laboratory |
| System dependent or passive recovery equipment | Captures refrigerant into a non pressurized container |
| Which of the following is an example of non condensable | Air |
| Which of the following is true regarding refrigerant leaks on small appliances | EPA does not require repair, but leaks should be repaired whenever possible |
| After the refrigerant has been recovered, which of the following can be used to flush the system | Nitrogen |
| System recovery methods may only be used on appliances containing | 15 pounds of refrigerant or less |
| Applying heat with a heat gun to the compressor | Can help vaporize any trapped liquid refrigerant during recovery |
| With a non operating system compressor, recovery equipment must be capable of recovering | 80 percent of the refrigerant or achieving 4 inches of vacuum |
| When pressurizing a system with nitrogen you should | Charge through a pressure regulator, install a relief valve in the line downstream from the pressure regulator |
| On a system with an operating compressor, recovery equipment must be capable of recovering | 90 percent refrigerant or achieving 4 inches of vacuum |
