Detect noncondensables, using the pressure and temperature relationship (i.e., the P/T chart).
Detection should include using the gauge set and pressure temperature chart to identify the refrigerants and noncondensables.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What indicates that there are noncondensables in the tank of refrigerant?
- What is a noncondensable?
- How are noncondensables prevented from entering the recovery cylinders?
- How does Boyle’s law apply to noncondensable gasses?
