Refrigerant Safety and Handling

SKU: RVI-11562Duration: 30 Minutes

In air conditioning (AC) and refrigeration systems, the refrigerant is the substance that circulates through the equipment, transporting heat from one area to another. Refrigerants must be handled and used carefully as many of them present hazards to the environment and human health. This interactive online course discusses safe methods of working with refrigerants and refrigeration systems.

Different refrigerants operate at different pressures and have different heat capacity characteristics, so using a "drop-in" refrigerant usually means a drop in system efficiency, capacity, or both.

Refrigeration system pressures can be monitored using a set of pressure gauges, hoses, and fittings referred to as a "manifold gauge set" or "manifold gauges." This tool is also used to troubleshoot and service refrigeration systems.

When you recover refrigerant, label the recovery tank or cylinder before or immediately after filling and then only use it for the labeled refrigerant. Never mix refrigerants together in a recovery container, as it can make them impossible to reclaim.
