2025年2月25日 · EPA-approved technician training and certification programs provide education on the proper use of MVAC servicing equipment, the applicable regulatory requirements, the importance of refrigerant recovery, as well as the effects of improper handling of refrigerants on the ozone layer and climate.

2025年3月11日 · Motor vehicle air conditioners use refrigeration to cool the driver's or passenger's compartment. Learn more about EPA requirements for servicing these systems, and how these requirements impact service technicians, shop owners, and some refrigerant retailers.

2024年12月20日 · Motor vehicle air conditioning (MVAC) equipment uses refrigeration to cool the driver's or passenger's compartment. This page describes EPA requirements for servicing these systems, and how these requirements impact service technicians, shop owners, and some refrigerant retailers.

This training manual was written to help educate the MVAC technician in all the requirements related to refrigeration conservation and EPA regulations, as well as recovery, recycling, and reclamation techniques.

Refrigerant recovery and recycling is an integral part of servicing motor vehicle air conditioning (MVAC) systems. The ASE Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling Program provides a self-paced, comprehensive overview of everything you need to comply with EPA requirements, including:

Most commonly used to recharge motor vehicle air conditioning (MVAC) systems, these small canisters contain hydroflourocarbons (HFCs), a potent greenhouse gas commonly used in refrigeration. As the fastest growing greenhouse gas in the world, HFCs are short-lived “super pollutants” and can be thousands of times more potent than carbon dioxide.

•MVAC emissions are 64% of total US HFC-134a refrigeration emissions* • Public education on proper MVAC servicing procedures can reduce emissions & may protect small can jobs and enterprises and allow continued economical MVAC service • Cooperate on data collection and analyses, manuals of best practice, and public-access websites.

2016年7月1日 · Motor vehicle air conditioning (MVAC) systems provide passenger comfort cooling for cars, trucks, buses, and rail vehicles. This page describes the EPA requirements for servicing these systems, and how these requirements impact service technicians, shop owners, and some refrigerant retailers.

2024年8月16日 · Since 1994, the most common refrigerant used in MVAC systems has been hydrofluorocarbon (HFC)-134a. HFCs are intentionally-made fluorinated greenhouse gases used in the same applications where ozone-depleting substances have been used, including motor vehicle air conditioning.

(a) The purpose of the regulations in this subpart B is to implement section 609 of the Clean Air Act, as amended (Act) regarding the servicing of motor vehicle air conditioners (MVACs), and to implement section 608 of the Act regarding certain servicing, maintenance, repair and disposal of air conditioners in MVACs and MVAC-like appliances (as ...
