Reclaimed refrigerants are refrigerants that have been processed to match new specifications by distillation and have been chemically analyzed to verify that the specifications have been met.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not sure
• D. Not applicable

Answer: (A)

Reclaimed refrigerants are reprocessed to remove contaminants and restore purity so they can be used as if they were new. The distillation step separates and removes impurities, moisture, and non-condensables, while the chemical analysis checks the remaining content to ensure it meets the required specification for that refrigerant. Because the goal is to ensure the same performance and safety as new refrigerant, reclamation must bring the product up to the same standard, and verification confirms compliance. Therefore, the statement is true: reclaimed refrigerants are processed to match new specifications by distillation and are chemically analyzed to verify the specifications are met.
