Recovery & RecyclingQuestion 207 of 240

System-dependent (passive) recovery equipment may only be used on:

a.Low-pressure chillers
b.Very-high-pressure systems
c.Small appliances
d.High-pressure supermarket racks

Explanation

System-dependent equipment relies on the appliance's own pressure or compressor to move refrigerant, so it is limited to small appliances with five pounds or less of charge. Larger high- and low-pressure systems require self-contained equipment. Using passive equipment on a large system would not achieve the required recovery.
