70% to passWhat must be done, at a minimum, before a system can legally be opened up for repairs while adhering to the prohibition against the venting of halogenated fluorocarbon refrigerants to the atmosphere?
Areclamation of the refrigerant
Bdestruction of the refrigerant
Crecycling of the refrigerant
Drecovery of the refrigerant
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) recovery of the refrigerant. Before a system can be legally opened up for repairs, the refrigerant must be recovered and not vented to the atmosphere, as per the prohibition on venting halogenated fluorocarbon refrigerants. Recovery involves removing the refrigerant from the system and storing it in an appropriate container, rather than reclaiming, destroying, or recycling it. This is the minimum requirement to comply with regulations and prevent the release of these refrigerants, which can be harmful to the environment. The other options, while potentially appropriate in other situations, do not represent the minimum legal requirement for opening up a system for repairs.
