5 To the User of This Directory This directory lists reclaimed refrigerants certified in accordance with ARI Standard 700. The Air-conditioning and Refrigeration Institute sponsors and administers certification programs to help ensure that industry products perform as rated. PERSPECTIVE The Air-conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) is a voluntary, nonprofit organization comprised of the manufacturers of air conditioning, refrigeration, and heating products. More that 90 percent of the air conditioning and refrigeration machinery and components manufactured in the United States is produced by members of ARI. ARI was formed in 1953 through a merger of two related trade associations. Since that time several other related trade associations have been merged into ARI, making it the strong association that it is today. ARI traces its history back to 1903 when it started as the Ice Machine Builders of the United States. Over the past 30 years, ARI has emerged as the major voice for the industry. Manufacturers are drawn to ARI membership in part because of the variety of services and benefits afforded those who participate in ARI Activities. These activities include: e Establishing standards for testing and rating products. Testing products to verify certified performance ratings, and publishing certification rating data. Providing representation and technical assistance to govemment entities in federal/state/local legislative and regulatory matters. International trade research and analysis. Public relations and promotional programs for the industry. Consumer education programs Credit information services. Regular statistical reports on product shipments. WHAT CERTIFICATION MEANS Two of ARI s most important functions are the development of performance rating standards and the administration of performance certification programs for the eligible products. Each product section, with the support of the ARI engineering staff, may develop certification programs for the eligible products. Participation in the program is voluntary and open to non-members of ARI on an equal basis. ARI regularly selects random samples of products to be tested by an independent laboratory under contract to ARI. The product is tested using stipulated procedure to verify that it meets ARI Standard The ARI certification label appearing on products has been an indication of verified performance for more than 30 years. Once a product is certified it is listed with its performance ratings in the appropriate ARI directory. These directories serve as authoritative sources of specification and performance ratings for manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, contractors, utilities, architects, engineers, and consumers. 1

6 This Directory of Certified Reclaimed Refrigerant lists all reclaimers and refrigerants processed by each reclaimer participating in the certification program of the Air-conditioning and Refrigeration Institute. Listing in the directory means that listed refrigerants have been certified by the reclaimer to ARI under the applicable standard to meet the purity claimed for them by the reclaimer under test conditions described in ARI Standard Listing does not constitute a recommendation by ARI regarding safety or reliability of any listed product. Under the programs, participating reclaimers must file certification data with ARI on all refrigerants reclaimed within the scope of the program. ARI conducts analysis of each reclaimer's refrigerant each year in a verification testing program. In addition to evaluation of the certified data, and to the ARI ongoing random testing program, participating reclaimers which question certification of competitors' refrigerants may request that these refrigerants be tested. The reclaimer of a refrigerant which fails to pass the specified tests must initiate corrective action or cease shipment of failed reclaimed refrigerant. If neither of the above solutions is accomplished, the reclaimers right to use the ARI certification symbol on all of his refrigerants is withdrawn, and the reclaimer's name and listings are deleted from the directory. The ARI certification programs are designed to assure contractors, manufacturers and other refrigerant users, as well as consumers, that refrigerants reclaimed by a program participant have been accurately tested and thus are eligible for the ARI certification label. ARI STANDARDS COVERED ARI Standard "Specification for Fluorocarbon Refrigerants" was prepared to establish: definitions; requirements for testing, requirements for specifications, literature and advertising. Copies of the standard may be purchased from ARI. 2

7 ~~~~ ~ SCOPE OF RECLAIMED REFRIGERANT CERTIFICATION PROGRAM A. Standard The program references ARI Standard "Specification for Fluorocarbon Refrigerants." Certification by reclaimers under this standard requires that the reclaimers' refrigerants do not exceed the contaminant level established per ARI Standard , Table 1. B. Refrigerants Covered This standard defines and classifies refrigerant contaminants primarily based on standard and generally available test methods and specifies acceptable levels of contaminants (purity requirements) for various fluorocarbon refrigerants regardless of source. These refrigerants are: R11; R12; R13; R22; R113; R114; WOO; R502 and R503 as referenced in the ANSI/ASHRAE Standard "Number Designation of Refrigerants" (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers, Inc., Standard 34-92). C. Basis of Participation Participation in this Program is by contract between participating reclaimer and ARI consists of: 1. Certification by the reclaimer to ARI that its reclaimed refrigerants comply with ARI Standard Participation by the refrigerant reclaimers in the random test program. Refrigerants for test are selected from reclaimers inventories or non-stationary equipment by representatives of an independent testing laboratory under contract to ARI. D. Evidence of Participation The participating reclaimer may indicate its participation in the Certification Program in the following ways: 1. Display of the Certification Symbol on all packaging of certified refrigerants by means of a label. 2. By printed application directly on packaging. 3. Distribution of the Directory carrying the name of each participating reclaimer and a list of its certified refrigerants. I PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Boiling point in. Hg Table 1.

The test requires about a 100 to 120 gram sample and has a lower detection limit of 0.1 ppm by weight. Water Content. The Karl Fischer Test Method shall be used for determining the water content of refrigerant. Water is a harmful contaminant in refrigerants because it causes freeze up, corrosion and promotes unfavorable chemical breakdown. This symbol has been registered with the United States Patent Office. The Symbol may not be reproduced or copied except by permission of ART. The Symbol may be displayed on qualified packaging in the form of a label obtained from ARI, or may be an integral part of the packaging. THE DIRECTORY The Directory lists the names, addresses, and certified refrigerants of the participating reclaimers and location of all reclaim facilities, including positive identification (serial numbers) of all nonstationary equipment. Maximum Contaminant and Rating Definitions Maximum Contaminants are defined in ARI Standard based on tests as set forth in the Standard. High Boiling Residue. High boiling residue is determined by measuring the residue after evaporation of a standard volume of refrigerant at a temperature 5OF [28.0" K], above the boiling point of the sample. Chloride Ions. The refrigerant shall be tested for chlorides as an indication of the presence of hydrochloric or similar acids. The results of the test shall not exhibit any sign of turbidity. Results are reported as "pass" or "fail". ParticulateslSolids. During the Boiling Range Test, a measured amount of sample is evaporated from a Goetz bulb under controlled temperature conditions. The particulates/solids are determined by visual examination of the empty Goetz bulb after the sample has evaporated completely. Presence of dirt, rust or other particulate contamination is reported as "fail". Other Refrigerants. The amount of other refrigerants in the subject refrigerant shall be determined by one of the gas chromatographic methods described in ART Standard for the appropriate refrigerant. Non-Condensables. Non-condensable gases consist primarily of air accumulated in the vapor phase of refrigerant-containing tanks. The solubility of air in the refrigerants liquid phase is extremely low and air is not significant as a liquid phase contaminant. The presence of noncondensable gases may reflect poor quality control in transferring refrigerants to storage tanks and cylinders. Acidity. The Acidity test uses the titration principle to detect any compound that 4
