Intro refrigeration Test 3 (week 11)

The willful purging or venting of certain refrigerants to the atmosphere is

• encouraged by the EPA as it helps to protect tropospheric ozone.

• desirable as this process helps improve food preservation efforts.

• illegal as set forth by EPA regulations.

• essential to the preservation of the stratospheric ozone layer.

What is the difference between an oxygen molecule and an ozone molecule?

• An oxygen molecule has two oxygen atoms, while an ozone molecule has one.

• An oxygen molecule has one oxygen atom, while an ozone molecule has two.

• An oxygen molecule has three oxygen atoms, while an ozone molecule has two.

• An oxygen molecule has two oxygen atoms, while an ozone molecule has three.

Which of the following sets of refrigerant classifications has a zero ODP?

• CFCs and HFOs

• CFCs and HFCs

• HCFCs and HFCs
