Green Vehicle Repair Workshop

Vehicle Air-Conditioning System

The Ozone Layer Protection Ordinance and its subsidiary legislations prohibit the release of controlled refrigerants into the atmosphere during the service and maintenance of vehicle air-conditioning systems. Trade partitioners must use approved refrigerant recovery machines and maintain proper and detailed records of refrigerant usages.

  • Use refrigerant recovery machines approved by the Environmental Protection Department to recover and re-use refrigerants.

  • During the replenishing of refrigerants, exercise care in examining refrigerant recovery machines and all pipe joints to avoid leakage of refrigerants.

  • Use instruments to check for refrigerant leakages and fluorescent dyes to ascertain leakage positions.

  • Maintain proper and detailed refrigerant consumption records.

  • Purchase controlled refrigerants from lawful and reliable wholesalers and retailers to avoid acquiring illegally imported or contaminated refrigerants.

  • Handle refrigerants with care and avoid mixing different refrigerants together

  • When servicing an air-conditioning system, it is essential to recover refrigerant from the system for reuse.
