Question 207Refrigeration & AC - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is B) The recovered refrigerant should be sent to a designated reclamation facility for processing. This is the correct answer because highly contaminated refrigerant from burned out small appliances is considered hazardous waste and must be handled accordingly. It cannot be reused directly in other systems, as that would risk further contamination. Instead, the refrigerant must be sent to an EPA-certified reclamation facility that can properly process and purify the refrigerant for safe, future reuse. The other options are incorrect because: A) Contaminated refrigerant should not be used to clean out other systems, as it would spread the contamination. C) Blending with new refrigerant is not permitted, as the contaminants would still be present. D) The refrigerant must be reclaimed, not destroyed, to allow for proper disposal and potential reuse.
