Recovery & RecyclingQuestion 235 of 240
A refrigerant recovered from an appliance still contains oil, moisture, and acid. To make it usable again on-site, the technician would:
a.Reclaim it in a lab
b.Vent and replace it
c.Recycle it through an oil separator and filter-driers
d.Do nothing; it is ready to use
Explanation
Recycling equipment with an oil separator and filter-driers reduces oil, moisture, and acidity so recovered refrigerant can be reused on-site with the same owner. Reclamation to AHRI 700 requires a certified reclaimer and is needed for resale. Venting is never allowed.
