The strict rules and guidelines on how to work with coolants were established after government learned the disaster that comes with improper handling of the same. If refrigerant recovery is done per the provided guidelines, the rate of ozone layer depletion will go down significantly. This will in turn reduce the levels of ultra violet rays that reach the surface of planet earth. Refrigerants are also associated with global warming. Tapping such gases will help check the greenhouse effect.
The regulations requiring mandatory recovery of coolants be done have been in place for more than a decade now. Any one who does not abide to these guidelines is subject to prosecution. It is required that all the machines applied in evacuation of gases be first approved by environmental agency. One will be safe if he obtains and reads all the federal as well as state laws governing the procedure.
One of the most common substances applied in cooling, Freon, was first introduced to the cooling industry at around 1930. Since the compound was found to be not poisonous and easy to manufacture, its introduction was deemed as a big achieving in the air conditioning sector. It was only for scientists to establish later that the compound had adverse effects to environment and that people were to pay a price for the comfort they had enjoyed in the past years. Research indicated that the compound contributed to degradation of ozone layer once it was released into the atmosphere.
The risks associated with ultraviolet radiations are what caused the environmental division to come up with strict measures on how refrigerants should be handled. Examples of known effects of UV waves are increased cases of cancer of skin, defects in the body immune system, and more cases of eye cataracts, vegetation damage and endangering of sea life.
Freon is very stable and this made it be favorably be applied by many manufacturers in the production of air conditioners. However it is this stability that makes it dangerous to the ozone blanket. The chlorofluorocarbons normally go high up in the atmosphere where they can remain for many years. The energy from sunlight breaks the molecules of the Freon, releasing chlorine which in turn reacts with ozone to produce carbon monoxide and also oxygen.
Shutoff taps are supposed to be placed on the horses of equipment that is used to recover refrigerant. These valves are normally closed at time when a connection of the horse to the service fittings of a refrigerator is being established. The technician undertaking the sucking process is supposed to read the manufacturer guideline so as to learn procedure for use.
To ensure that air is not sacked, the air conditioning appliance should be tested to ascertain it is charged with a refrigerant. The vacuum value should not be less than 102 millimeters. Mild heat can be applied to melt ice where it is detected.
The required clothing should be provided to the technician who is executing the recovery process. Regulations demand that the tank used in storing refrigerant that has been recycled to be one that can be disposed. All the power cables should be inspected to find out whether they are in good condition prior to the evacuation exercise.
