Answer: Required Recovery Levels for Type II appliances, before and
after 11/15/93:
HCFC22 less than 200 lbs = B4-0 After-0
HCFC22 more than 200 lbs= B4-4 After-10
NonHCFC22 less than 200 lbs= B4-4 After 10
NonHCFC22 more than 200 lbs= B4 4 After 15
Very high pressure appliances= B4-0 After-0
●● Recover all refrigerants.
Answer: Section 608 of the Federal Clean Air Act requires technicians to
what?
●● The earth's stratosphere.
Answer: The objective of the Clean Air Act is to protect what?
●● HydroFlouroCarbon's
Answer: HFC's
●● ChloroFluoroCarbon's
Answer: CFC's
, ●● Ozone Depletion Potential
Answer: ODP
●● The Montreal Protocol.
Answer: Which international treaty agreement was the basis for Section
608?
●● 1.Crop losses
2.Increases in eye diseases
3.Skin Cancer
4.Reduced marine life
5.Deforestation
6.Increased ground level ozone
Answer: Depletion of the ozone in the stratosphere is known to cause
what 6 things?
●● These atoms attack Ozone Molecules causing the formation of
Chlorine Monoxide (CLO), after colliding with another Ozone
Molecule, causes 2 Oxygen (O2) molecules to be made & leaving an
atom of chlorine to act as "Free Agent" starting the process over until
100,000 molecules of Ozone are destroyed by just one atom of chloride.
Answer: What happens when CFC or HCFC molecules get in the
stratosphere & free atoms of Chlorine are set free?
