Question 162Refrigeration/AC - 1st Asst/Chief70% to pass
For safe storage, the maximum allowable temperature to which refrigerant bottles should be exposed is what temperature?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 125°F.
The maximum allowable temperature for the safe storage of refrigerant bottles is 125°F. This is in accordance with the U.S. Coast Guard regulations, which specify that refrigerant containers should not be exposed to temperatures exceeding 125°F to prevent the risk of explosion or other hazards.
The other answer choices are incorrect because 100°F (A) is too low, 150°F (C) and 175°F (D) exceed the safe limit and could lead to dangerous situations with the pressurized refrigerant containers.
