When handling contaminated oil from a hermetically sealed refrigeration compressor unit that has suffered from a motor burnout, what should be done?
• Safety and contamination risks associated with oil from a burned-out hermetic compressor • How acid and moisture form in oil after a motor burnout • Proper handling vs. disposal vs. reuse procedures for contaminated oil
• Which option focuses on actually dealing with contamination in the oil rather than just moving or storing it? • Is the goal here to re‑use the oil safely, or simply to protect the technician during handling? • Which choice would help prevent further system damage or corrosion if this oil were ever put back into a refrigeration system?
• Identify which choices are about personal protective equipment (PPE) versus treating the contaminated oil itself • Consider whether burned-out compressor oil is normally reused or removed/disposed of • Ask: which option would be considered a standard industry practice for handling oil that may contain acid and decomposition products after a burnout?
