    Post which refrigeration in a plant if it isn't labelled?



    Had an interesting question in a test at trade school today, just wondering if I chose the correct answer.

    If a system is short of refrigerant and is not labelled what refrigerant its running on, what can you do to find out what refrigerant is in the system?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    look at the expansion device/ compressor?

    Shut it down let it equalize to ambient temp then read your pt chart
