CThe recovered refrigerant may be used to clean out systems that have suffered from a burn- out.
DThe recovered refrigerant should be sent to a designated reclamation facility for processing.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 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 should not be reused or recycled directly. The contamination can damage equipment and pose environmental and safety risks. Regulations require that such refrigerant be sent to an EPA-approved reclamation facility, where it can be properly processed and purified for safe reuse. The other options are incorrect, as blending, using directly, or destroying the refrigerant would not comply with the proper handling procedures for contaminated refrigerants.
