CEI 623 - Refrigerant Recovery (2-day)

Institution:

Niagara County Community College

Subject:

CEI - Community Ed Ind Trng

Description:

Under section 608 of the Clean Air Act, refrigeration technicians who work with CFC and HCFC refrigerants, during maintenance service, repair or disposal of air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment, must be certified by the US EPA. All students are required to pass a federal EPA multiple choice test which is corrected by NCCC staff. This allows us to notify candidates of the results quickly, and issue cards required for refrigerant purchase much faster than testing sites that use out of state test centers. Prepaid students will be given the course textbook to read before the class begins. Topics covered include the ozone depletion issue, requirements of the clean air act, EPA regulations and detailed explanations of leak detection, DOT requirements for refrigerant handling and finally the process of Recovery, Recycling and Reclamation. We are proud that our pass rate exceeds 80% for first time students who take the two-day class. Prerequisites: Students are expected to understand basic refrigeration service techniques. Students are asked to pick-up and read the textbook before the first class.
