What is R1270?


n-Butane
Propene (propylene)
Isobutane
Propane

Közepes

What is the main design difference in hydrocarbon refrigeration systems?


Higher operating pressures
The need to eliminate ignition sources and limit the charge because of the refrigerant's flammability
Lower energy efficiency
No need for safety measures

3

Közepes

How do compressors used in hydrocarbon systems differ?


They need no lubrication
There is no difference
They must be approved by the manufacturer for the specific flammable refrigerant (e.g. electrical components that are not ignition sources, suitable oil)
They must operate at higher pressures than HFC compressors

4

Közepes

What distinguishes class 2L refrigerants from class 2?


No lower flammability limit
Higher toxicity
Heat of combustion above 19 MJ/kg
A maximum burning velocity of no more than 10 cm/s

5

Közepes

What is the lower flammability limit (LFL) of propane R290?


Approx. 0.38 kg/m³
Approx. 0.038 kg/m³ (approx. 2.1% by volume)
Approx. 0.307 kg/m³
Approx. 1.8 kg/m³

Equipment marked 'Ex II 3G' may be used in zone:


2 (explosive gas atmosphere unlikely and short-lived)
0
1
20 (dusts)

7

Közepes

How is explosion hazard zone 2 defined?


An explosive atmosphere is likely to occur in normal operation
An explosive atmosphere is not likely in normal operation and, if it occurs, persists only for a short period
An area where flammable refrigerants are never used
An explosive atmosphere is present continuously or for long periods

Under which UN number is propane (R290) carried under ADR?


UN 1978
UN 1005
UN 3252
UN 3337

9

Közepes

At what concentration should a portable flammable gas detector used for R290 work raise an alarm at the latest?


At 150% of LFL
No higher than 25% of LFL
At 5% propane by volume
At 100% of LFL

10

Közepes

How should a recovery cylinder be prepared before filling it with a hydrocarbon refrigerant?


No preparation is needed
Purge it with compressed air
Partly fill it with nitrogen to 5 bar
Evacuate it (no air) and label it for the specific flammable refrigerant

11

Közepes

What is the correct approach in a risk analysis before work on an HC system?


Having a fire extinguisher is sufficient
First eliminate hazard sources (e.g. ignition sources); where this is not possible, identify them and apply mitigating measures (ventilation, detection, PPE)
The risk analysis is done after the work is finished
First select PPE, then possibly remove ignition sources

Közepes

Why must the charge of small, critically charged R290 systems be weighed to within a few grams during service?


Because scales are not needed – charging is done by sight glass
Because R290 is more expensive than HFCs
Because extra R290 improves efficiency
Small charge deviations significantly change superheat/subcooling and efficiency, and overcharge increases the risk in a leak
