Refrigeration & Air Conditioning USCG Question #881 (Set 16)

Minor repairs may be performed on low-pressure refrigerant systems without recovering the refrigerant charge if the pressure in the system is raised to atmospheric. How may this be accomplished?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — heat the refrigerant

Raising a low-pressure refrigerant system's internal pressure to atmospheric prior to minor repairs without complete evacuation is achieved by applying controlled heat to the refrigerant container or system components, causing vaporization and pressure increase.
