A commercial refrigeration appliance holds more than 50 pounds of an ozone-depleting refrigerant and has developed a leak. Under the Section 608 leak-repair requirements, what must the owner or operator generally do?

Explanation

For appliances containing more than 50 pounds of an ozone-depleting refrigerant, owners and operators must repair leaks when the annual leak rate exceeds the applicable regulatory threshold, or otherwise follow a plan to retrofit or retire the equipment. Timely leak repair reduces refrigerant emissions. Venting is never an acceptable response to a leak.
