Question 95Refrigeration/AC - QMED70% 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.
Refrigerant bottles, which contain compressed gases used in refrigeration systems, should not be exposed to temperatures exceeding 125°F for safe storage. This temperature limit is specified in regulations to prevent the bottles from rupturing due to the increased pressure inside from the heat. Exposing the bottles to higher temperatures, such as 150°F or 175°F (options C and D), would create an unsafe situation and increase the risk of the bottles exploding or releasing their contents. Option A, 100°F, is too low and would not represent a hazardous temperature for the safe storage of refrigerant bottles.
