Introduction to the CIRO Study Guide
This CIRO Examination Study Guide is designed to help you prepare to demonstrate what
you know and can do in this RETA certification test. You will be tested on concepts
addressed in IR-1, IR-2, IR-4, BE-1 and BE-2.
You will improve your chances of earning your CIRO credential by treating this CIRO
Study Guide as you would the technical manuals in a refrigeration facility where you work.
Your chances of earning the CIRO credential improve if you are familiar with the details in
the CIRO Study Guide. Just as your job requires that you know what is in operating
manuals and when to refer to them to understand or resolve a problem, the CIRO test
requires that you know what is in the References document and when to use it. You will not
be told when to use the references for this test.
Using RETA References On-Screen
References for each RETA test are in a PDF that appears on the screen next to test questions.
You will have the following tools for using the PDF.
Move the red vertical line separating the two sections from side to side to assign more
screen space to the References or to questions.
Zoom in or out to make pages in the References PDF larger or smaller by clicking on the plus
(+) or minus (-) symbols at the top of the screen. This tool bar disappears after a few seconds.
The toolbar reappears when you move the mouse over the References document.
Scroll from page to page to find the location in the References that has the table, formulas or other information you want to use.

The following screens show how this will work during the test.
Screen 1 The sample question asks about controlling an ammonia fire. The
References document title page appears on the right side of the screen.
The toolbar at the top of the References document allows you to zoom in and zoom out by
clicking the plus (+) or minus (-) symbols. The toolbar disappears after a few seconds. The
toolbar reappears when you move the mouse over the References document. You cannot
use the save or print functions in the toolbar during the test. If you click on those icons, you
need to click “Cancel” in the menu that appears for either function to return to References.
Do not use the CTRL + F keys for searching in the PDF as this will cause the testing system
to think a security violation is happening and will automatically log the test taker out and
the login screen will appear
Screen 2 Information to help answer the question appears in the Ammonia SDS.
Scroll to the opening page of the SDS.

Calculations and Refrigeration System Screens
All calculations required in this test can be completed with a simple calculator. A
scientific calculator is NOT required to perform well on this examination. The screens
that appear in the CIRO examination provide information about operating conditions in a
refrigeration system. Some screens include information about both “NORMAL” and
“ABNORMAL” operating conditions. The screens do not specify how much time has
passed between these two sets of data. Several months may have passed between the time
when the “NORMAL” and “ABNORMAL” readings were recorded.
The CIRO examination requires you to demonstrate that you can use these screens to:
Determine the condition of the refrigerant at any place in the system by knowing how to
use the information provided.
Analyze the findings of the conditions and apply your knowledge to adjust system
components to resolve a problem and/or achieve a better running condition.
Determine the cost of operating under the conditions indicated in the screens. In both
dollars per hour and in power demand or consumption over time.
Use refrigerant properties tables in the CIRO References and in this CIRO Study Guide
to interpret information and/or solve a problem in the system’s operating conditions.
CIRO references in this Study Guide will be available on screen during the examination.
A sample screen appears on the next page. This is followed by a series of questions you
should consider as you prepare to take the CIRO Examination.
Other sections of this CIRO Study Guide provide similar guidance for this examination.
These include a list of formulas, an Ammonia SDS, Theoretical Discharge Charts, and
refrigerant properties tables. These are followed by 24 screens that provide information
that may appear on the CIRO exam.

Inhalation : Remove victim to fresh air. Give oxygen if breathing is difficult. If
breathing has stopped, start artificial respiration. OBTAIN IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Skin : Apply water immediately to exposed areas of skin and continue for at
least 30 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing, shoes, and constrictive clothing while continuing to
apply water, being careful not to tear the skin. If skin surface is damaged, apply a clean dressing. If skin
surface is not damaged, cleanse the affected area(s) thoroughly with mild soap and water. Do not apply
salves or ointments to affected areas. OBTAIN IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Eyes : Remove victim to fresh air. Immediately flush with plenty of water for
at least 30 minutes with the eyelids held apart. OBTAIN IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Medical Conditions : Ammonia is a respiratory irritant. Persons with impaired pulmonary
function may be at an increased risk from exposure. Also pre-existing skin disorders may be aggravated
by exposure.
Effects of : N/A Overexposure
Summary of Acute Health : N/A Hazards
Ingestion : This material is a gas under normal atmospheric conditions and ingestion
is unlikely. Ingestion of liquid ammonia may result in severe irritation or ulceration of the mouth, throat
and digestive tract which may be displayed by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and, in severe cases, collapse,
shock and death.
Inhalation : Irritation to the mucous membranes of the nose, throat and lungs is
noticeable at 100 ppm. Concentrations above 400 ppm will cause throat irritation and may destroy
mucous surfaces upon prolonged contact. High concentrations can cause pulmonary edema.
Breathing air containing concentrations greater than 5,000 ppm may cause sudden death from
spasm or inflammation of the larynx.
Skin : Liquid Ammonia produces severe skin burns on contact. Ammonia gas
may cause skin irritation, especially if skin is moist. The liquid can cause skin damage resulting from
combined freezing and corrosive action on the skin. Atmospheric concentrations above 30,000 ppm will
burn and blister skin after a few seconds of exposure.
Eyes : Exposure to high gas concentrations may cause temporary blindness
and severe eye damage. Direct contact of the eyes with liquid ammonia will produce serious eye
burns.
Note to : N/A Physicians
Summar
y of Chronic Health : N/A
CIRO Exam Study Guide Page 21 of 66

Extinguishing : Use Water Spray or Water Fog, Carbon Dioxide, Polar or Alcohol Foam,
Dry Chemical. Halon may decompose into toxic materials. Carbon dioxide can displace oxygen. Use
caution when applying halon or carbon dioxide in confined spaces.
Special Exposure : Gas may ignite at vapor concentrations between 16% and 25% in air.
Hazards However, ammonia-air mixtures are difficult to ignite and burn with
little vigor. In the absence of oxygen enrichment, the risk of initiating an accidental fire or explosion is
low. Do not allow ammonia vapors to accumulate in confined areas where ignition may occur. Intense
heating particularly in contact with hot metallic surfaces may cause decomposition of ammonia
generating hydrogen, a flammable gas.
Special Protective : Stop flow of gas. Use water fog to keep fire-exposed containers cool and
to Equipment for protect personnel effecting the shut-off. Wear self-contained breathing
Firefighters apparatus (SCBA) and encapsulating chemical protective clothing.
Approach fire upwind and evacuate area downwind. Emergency responders in the danger area should
wear bunker gear and self-contained breathing apparatus for fires beyond the incipient stage (29CFR
1910.156). In addition, wear other appropriate protective equipment as conditions warrant (See Section
VIII). Isolate damage area, keep unauthorized personnel out. Stop spill/release if it can be done with
minimal risk. If this cannot be done, allow fire to burn. Move undamaged containers from danger area if it
can be done with minimal risk. Stay away from ends of container. Water spray may be useful in
minimizing or dispersing vapors. Cool equipment exposed to fire with water, if it can be done with minimal
risk.
Fire Fighting : Dry Chemical or carbon dioxide are recommended extinguishing media.
Procedures Stop flow of gas before extinguishing fire. Use water spray to keep fire
exposed containers cool. Extinguish fire using agent suitable for surrounding fire.
Combustible. Wear goggles, self-contained breathing apparatus, and rubber over clothing (including
gloves). Stop flow of gas, or liquid if possible. Let fire burn.
If material involved in fire: Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from
as far distance as possible. Use water spray to knock-down vapors. Solid streams of water may spread
fire. Don not use water on material itself. Do not apply water to point of leak in tank car or container.

Uniform Fire : According to the (UFC) Uniform Fire Code Standard 79-3 (2000), the degree
Code Rating of Hazard is 3-3-0 in a confined space.
Additional Description : Inhalation Hazard Requirement
Personal : Note that although ammonia gas is lighter than air, sudden release may
Precautions generate an aerosol of liquefied ammonia which may cling to the ground
for long distances. May ignite in the presence of open flames and sparks.
Narrow lower to upper combustion range (16-25%) makes ignition difficult. Keep all sources of ignition
away from spill/release. Do not apply water onto leaking tank. Stop the flow of gas or liquid. Use water to
protect personnel effecting the shut-off. Approach from upwind. Evacuate the area immediately. Eliminate
all open flames in vicinity of indoor spills or released vapor. Water fog can be used to cleanse atmosphere
of ammonia vapor. Downwind areas can be protected by water fog nozzles positioned downwind.
Emergency Procedures : Do not enter a visible cloud of ammonia. Isolate and evacuate the leak
or spill area immediately for at least 150 feet in all directions. For larger spills, isolate at least 300 feet in
all directions and then evacuate area downwind at least 0.4 miles in width and at least 0.8 miles in length.
Keep area isolated until gas has dispersed.
Methods of : Dike liquid spills to contain liquid. Containment
And Clean-Up
Safe Handling : Contents are under pressure. The use of explosion-proof equipment is
recommended and may be required (see appropriate fire codes). Do not enter confined spaces such
as tanks or pits without following proper entry procedures such as ASTM D-4276. Protect against
physical damage.
