A2L Storage and Transportation 2

Question 1

What is the maximum storage temperature for A2L refrigerant cylinders?

Accepted Answer

52°C (125°F) — exceeding this can over-pressurize cylinders and activate relief devices

Answer

100°C (212°F)

Answer

Freezing temperatures only

Question 2

What ventilation requirements apply to A2L refrigerant storage areas?

Accepted Answer

Storage areas must be ventilated to prevent accumulation of flammable vapor from potential slow leaks or relief valve discharge

Answer

No ventilation needed if cylinders are sealed

Answer

Only exhaust ventilation at ceiling level

Answer

Ventilation is only needed in areas above 500 sq ft

Question 3

How should A2L refrigerant cylinders be arranged in a storage area?

Accepted Answer

Upright, secured to prevent tipping, with valve protection caps installed, organized by refrigerant type, and with full/empty cylinders separated

Answer

Any arrangement is fine

Answer

Horizontally on shelves

Stacked on top of each other to save space

Question 4

What documentation is required for A2L refrigerant inventory management?

Answer

No documentation needed

Answer

Only keep purchase receipts

Answer

Only track cylinders over 50 lbs

Question 5

A2L refrigerant cylinders must be transported in what type of vehicle compartment?

Question 6

What fire prevention measures should be in place at an A2L refrigerant storage location?

Accepted Answer

ABC fire extinguishers, no smoking/no open flame signage, separation from ignition sources, emergency ventilation capability, and a contact list for emergency services
