- Refrigeration technicians who violate the Clean Air Act can: ✔️ D) all of the above.
2. CFC Supply Post-1995:
- After 1995, any supplies of CFC refrigerant to service existing units in the USA can only come from:
✔️ A) recovery and recycling.
3. Recovered Refrigerant Use:
- Refrigerant that is recovered can be returned to: ✔️ A) the same system or other systems owned by
the same person without restriction.
4. Definition of "Reclaimed":
- Refrigerant cannot be called "reclaimed" unless it: ✔️ B) has been chemically analyzed and the
refrigerant meets the ARI-700 purity standard.
5. EPA Technician Competency Requirements:
- The EPA can require a technician to demonstrate their ability to perform proper procedures for
recovering and/or recycling refrigerant. Failure to demonstrate competency can result in: ✔️ A)
revocation of the technician's certification.

coded: ✔️ A) red.
14. Charging Blended Refrigerants:
- In general, blended refrigerants should be charged: ✔️ C) as a liquid.
15. Leaking Blended Refrigerants:
- Blended refrigerants leak from a system: ✔️ B) in uneven amounts due to different vapor pressures.
16. Ozone Formation:
, - Which of the following gases helps form the earth's protective shield? ✔️ D) Stratospheric Ozone.
17. Compressor Function in Refrigeration:
- In a refrigeration system, the device that changes low pressure vapor to high pressure vapor is the:
✔️ C) compressor.
18. Sources of Chlorine in the Stratosphere:
- Data shows that chlorine in the stratosphere comes mainly from CFCs rather than from natural
sources such as volcanoes because: ✔️ D) All of the above.
19. Ozone Depletion Cause:
- Which atom of the CFC molecule causes ozone depletion? ✔️ B) chlorine.
20. Ozone Layer Protection:
- The ozone layer protects the earth from: ✔️ C) ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
21. Material Safety Data Sheets:
- When using any solvent, cleaner, chemical, or refrigerant, you should review: ✔️ C) material safety
data sheets.
22. Reward for Reporting Venting:
- An award of up to what amount may be paid to a person supplying information that leads to a
penalty against a technician who is intentionally venting? ✔️ B) $10,000.
23. Montreal Protocol:
- The Montreal Protocol is: ✔️ D) a treaty among nations that controls production of CFCs and HCFCs.
Which refrigerant is an HCFC? ✔️A) R-123
