The pressure in the part of a high pressure refrigeration system about to be opened for a non-major repair should be brought to what value?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — 0 psig

EPA and marine environmental regulations require high-pressure refrigeration systems undergoing non-major repairs to be evacuated down to 0 psig, or ambient atmospheric pressure, before opening the circuit to minimize refrigerant loss into the atmosphere.
