TYPE III LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS EXAM
Leak Detection
- Order of preference of leak test pressurization methods for low-pressure systems (first: hot water method or built-in system heating/pressurization device such Prevac; second: nitrogen)
- Signs of leakage into a low-pressure system (e.g., excessive purging)
- Maximum leak test pressure for low-pressure centrifugal chillers
Leak repair requirements
- Allowable annual leak rate for commercial and industrial process refrigeration
- Allowable annual leak rate for other appliances containing more than 50 lbs of refrigerant
Recovery Techniques
- Recovering liquid at beginning of recovery process speeds up process
- Need to recover vapor in addition to liquid
- Need to heat oil to 130F before removing it to minimize refrigerant release
- Need to circulate or remove water from chiller during refrigerant evacuation to prevent freezing
- High-pressure cut-out level of recovery devices used with low-pressure appliances
Recharging Techniques
- Need to introduce vapor before liquid to prevent freezing of water in the tubes
- Need to charge centrifugals through evaporator charging valve
Recovery Requirements
- Evacuation requirements for low-pressure appliances in each of the following situations:
-
- Disposal
- Major vs. non-major repairs
- Leaky vs. non-leaky appliances
- Appliance (or component) containing less vs. more than 200 lbs
- Recovery/recycling equipment built before vs. after November 15, 1993
- Definitions of "major" and "non-major" repairs
- Allowable methods for pressurizing a low-pressure system for a non-major repair (controlled hot water and system heating/pressurization device such as Prevac)
- Need to wait a few minutes after reaching required recovery vacuum to see if system pressure rises (indicating that there is still liquid refrigerant in the system or in the oil)
Refrigeration
- Purpose of purge unit in low-pressure systems
- Pressure-temperature relationships of low-pressure refrigerants
Safety
- Equipment room requirements under ASHRAE Standard 15 (oxygen deprivation sensor with all refrigerants)
- Under ASHRAE Standard 15, need to have equipment room refrigerant sensor for 123
