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.
Since the year 1995, it has been mandatory to recover coolants in the proper way of which venting them to the atmosphere will lead to prosecution in a court of law. The equipment applied in tapping the substance from a dismantled unit is supposed to be approved by the environmental protection agency. Anyone involved in the recovering process is supposed to go through federal, state and local regulations related to it.
Freon, which is a well known coolant, was introduced around 1930. This was a great achievement in the air conditioning industry as the compound was non poisonous and also cheap to manufacture. Later, after the substance had been used for so long in air conditioning, findings by scientists indicated that the world had a big price to pay for the comfort that was enjoyed in the past. It was established that the compound release was leading to the depletion of protective ozone layer which is found in the stratosphere, around 30 miles away from the surface of earth.
It is the negative effects of refrigeration fluids which forced the environmental protection division to set up regulations to be followed when dealing with coolants. Ultra violet waves are known to cause problems like skin cancer, damage to vegetation, increased cases of eye cataracts and defecting of immune system. If the governing rules are followed to the letter, then the burden of fighting these problems will be avoided.
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.
It is required that the horses of the machines applied in evacuation of refrigerator fluid be fitted with valves. The shutoff taps should remain closed at the time when the horses are being connected to the service fittings of the freezer. The sucking of fluid should be done up to a point where the control of the freezer show no pressure.
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 technician undertaking evacuation of coolant is supposed to be in the proper attire. A disposable tank is supposed to be applied in storing refrigerant that has undergone recycling. The extension cords of the evacuation appliance are supposed to be in order to avoid accidents.
