True or false: When sending used refrigerants to be reclaimed you must dispose refrigerant cycles.

True or false: When sending used refrigerants to be reclaimed you must dispose refrigerant cycles.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. It depends

Answer: (B)

When handling used refrigerants for reclamation, the focus is on recovering the refrigerant from the system and sending it to an approved reclaim facility so it can be purified and reused. You do not dispose of the refrigerant cycles; disposing would imply getting rid of the refrigerant or the equipment, which isn’t what reclamation involves. The goal is to prevent leaks and venting and to recover the refrigerant for reuse, not to destroy the cycle. So the statement is false.
