Refrigeration & Air Conditioning USCG Question #308 (Set 6)

What is true concerning highly contaminated refrigerant recovered from burned out small appliances?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — The recovered refrigerant should be sent to a designated reclamation facility for processing.

EPA regulations mandate that heavily contaminated refrigerants from burned-out systems cannot be processed locally or reused without extensive processing. They must be sent to an authorized reclamation facility capable of purifying severely degraded chemical compounds.
