🔍 Key Concepts

• EPA Section 608 regulations for small appliances and recovery efficiency • Difference between recovery requirements for small appliances vs. other equipment types • How recovery requirements changed for equipment manufactured after November 15, 1993

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: for a small appliance with a working compressor, does the EPA require a higher or lower percentage of refrigerant recovery compared to systems with inoperative compressors? • Think about whether later-manufactured recovery devices are expected to meet stricter or looser recovery standards than older devices. • Consider: is the required percentage for R-12 in small appliances closer to the mid-range of these choices, or toward the highest end?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm what "small appliance" means under EPA Section 608 (typically factory-sealed, ≤5 lbs of refrigerant). • Verify the specific recovery percentage required for R-12 from small appliances with operating compressors using post-11/15/93 recovery devices. • Double-check that you are looking at the table row for "fully operational compressor" and "recovery equipment manufactured after 11/15/93" and not mixing it with older equipment requirements.
