What is the difference between recycling and reclaiming refrigerant under EPA rules?
Answer: Reclaiming purifies refrigerant to a strict standard, recycling only reduces contaminants
Reclaiming restores refrigerant to ARI-700 purity, while recycling only reduces contaminants on-site.
To be sold as reclaimed, recovered refrigerant must be processed to meet which purity standard?
Answer: AHRI/ARI Standard 700
Reclaimed refrigerant must meet AHRI Standard 700 purity specifications.
Recovered refrigerant may be returned to the same owner's equipment without reclamation under what condition?
Answer: Only if it has been recycled or recovered on-site for the same owner
Refrigerant recycled or recovered on-site may be returned to the same owner's equipment without reclamation.
Who is authorized to certify reclaimed refrigerant as meeting the required purity standard?
Answer: An EPA-certified reclaimer
Only EPA-certified reclaimers may certify refrigerant as reclaimed to AHRI 700.
Refrigerant sales restrictions require that buyers of regulated refrigerant be what?
Answer: EPA Section 608 or 609 certified technicians
The sales restriction limits refrigerant purchases to EPA-certified technicians.
What document must a reclaimer provide to verify the refrigerant meets purity specifications?
Answer: A laboratory analysis or certification of AHRI 700 compliance
A reclaimer certifies AHRI 700 compliance, typically backed by laboratory analysis.
Why does the EPA encourage recovery and reclamation rather than producing new refrigerant?
Answer: It conserves the existing supply of phased-out substances and reduces emissions
Recovery and reclamation conserve limited phased-out refrigerant supplies and reduce harmful emissions.
