After repairing a system that has had an electrical motor failure (compressor burnout), is it good field practice to re-use the recovered refrigerant in that system?

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Partially true

  4. In certain situations

The correct answer is: False

Explanation Using recovered refrigerant in a system after repairing an electrical motor failure is not good field practice. Recovered refrigerant may contain harmful contaminants from the motor burnout that can damage the system or cause future failures. Additionally, it is important to follow proper guidelines for handling and disposing of recovered refrigerant to protect the environment and ensure safe operation of the system. Therefore, it is best to use fresh refrigerant after repairing a system with an electrical motor failure.
