8.0 EPA Requirements (PN 714-202-G1 only)
Under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act (40 CFR Part 82), the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) has established regulations that cover all aspects of
the refrigerant recovery process.
These regulations have established service practices that maximize the
recycling of ozone-depleting compounds during the servicing and disposal of
air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment.
Certification requirements for recovery equipment and technicians have also
been established. The INFICON Vortex Dual has been EPA Certified for use
by an independent laboratory.
The EPA has also established Evacuation Requirements for HVAC/R
equipment used for service, to ensure that any release of CFCs or HCFCs to
the atmosphere is minimized.
Technicians repairing small appliances such as household
refrigerators, window air conditioners and water coolers, must recover
80% of the refrigerant when the compressor in the appliance is not
operating.
Technicians repairing small appliances must recover 90% of the
refrigerant when the compressor in the appliance is operating.
NOTE:
These requirements may also be met by evacuating the small
appliance with the recovery machine to four inches of mercury
vacuum.
Other requirements are covered in
