and mechanical ventilation before refrigerant concentrations exceed the? - answer-tiv-
twa threshold limit valve, time weighted average
Long hoses between the unit and the recovery machine should? - answer-not be used
because they cause excessive pressure drop and increased recovery time emissions

inch gage and is used in american refrigeration pressure gages,and its atmospheric
pressure is 0 psig
