What ozone-depleting substance/s are banned from new units?

Both CFC and HCFC.
Your answer
Only HCFC.
Your answer
Only CFC.
Your answer

To what extent should refrigerant bottles be filled?

If stored above 50°C, never more than 80% filled with gas.
Your answer
They should be filled all the way up.
Your answer
If stored at or below 50°C; to 80%.
Your answer
Always to 60%.
Your answer

Where do refrigerant gases accumulate?

They rise to the top of the room.
Your answer
On the ground.
Your answer
They stay where they are released.
Your answer

What is true about the dryer?

It reduces odour.
Your answer
It keeps moisture out of the system.
Your answer
It is quite hard to replace.
Your answer

Why should you shut off the compressor when checking the low-pressure side?

It increases the pressure on the low-pressure side.
Your answer
Not shutting it off causes a fire hazard.
Your answer
It doesn’t have to be on when checking for leaks on a low-pressure side.
Your answer

What is true for the recovery bottle?

You can use any cylinder available.
Your answer
You should never fill a bottle to more than 75%.
Your answer
You don’t have to label the bottle.
Your answer

What should you do if HTC bottles are heated and affected by fire?

Don’t do anything.
Your answer
Cool the cylinders with large amounts of water from a safe distance
Your answer
Remove them from the fire area immediately.
Your answer
Leave the area as quickly as possible.
Your answer

How do you prevent the isolated refrigerant from leaking out of the system when pumping down?

By closing the pressure valve on the low-pressure side.
Your answer
By closing the pressure valve on the high-pressure side completely.
Your answer
By turning each side’s valve spindles clock-wise until you see a pressure reading on the gauge.
Your answer

Do you need a Certificate of Competence to open up a refrigeration unit?

Yes, in EU and the US.
Your answer
Yes, in Asia.
Your answer
No, you never need a Certificate of Competence when dealing with any refrigeration unit.
Your answer
Yes, in EU but not in the US.
Your answer

Why is it important to clean the sight glass when you change oils?

You can see the condition of the oil through the clean sight glass.
Your answer
The sight glass breaks easily, and the breakage/leak can be found easier if the glass is clean.
Your answer
It increases the life-span of the glass.
Your answer

Can you vent newer HFC refrigerants in the atmosphere?

Yes, of course.
Your answer
Yes, but only in specific amounts.
Your answer
No, it’s illegal since it contributes to global warming.
Your answer
No, they are ozone-depleting.
