4. Spillage of liquid refrigerants, such as R22 and R134a will cause dryness,
deoilling and possible dermatitis to unprotected parts of the body.
5. Cold trap removes water from the line leading to the vacuum pump and
also speeds up the removal of water from the system.
6. Colour coding for R406 cylinder is orange
7. Chilling the cylinder during the recovery process can decrease and protect
the cylinders from high pressure.
8. Poly bags must only be used for refrigerant R12 and similar low pressure
refrigerants in domestic low pressure
9. Recommended pressure testing on commercial systems is 2500kPa.
(10 marks)
SECTION D:
Q1. (a) Calculate the mass of refrigerant R22 that may be safely decanted into a cylinder 300mm
in diameter and 900mm high. Assume that the ends of the cylinder are flat.
Density of R22 = 1.17kg/L
Formula: V = π D² h
4
Safe mass = volume (m³ x 1000) x Density x 0.8
(6 marks)
(b) A refrigerant cylinder has a water capacity of 50kg and a tare mass of 605kg. Calculate
i) The sate filling capacity (SFC) of the cylinder for R12 refrigerant if the fill ratio is 1:15
(2marks)
ii) Calculate the gross mass of the cylinder when full.
