What is R1270?


Propane
Propene (propylene)
n-Butane
Isobutane

Stredne ťažká

What is the main design difference in hydrocarbon refrigeration systems?


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

3

Stredne ťažká

How do compressors used in hydrocarbon systems differ?


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

What distinguishes class 2L refrigerants from class 2?


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

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


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

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


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

7

How is explosion hazard zone 2 defined?


An explosive atmosphere is present continuously or for long periods
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 likely to occur in normal operation

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


UN 3252
UN 3337
UN 1978
UN 1005

Stredne ťažká

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


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

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


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

11

Stredne ťažká

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


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

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


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