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.

CIRO Exam Study Guide Page 21 of 66

©2019 Refrigerating Engineers & Technicians Association (RETA) Updated August 2019

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.

0=Insignificant 1=Slight 2=Moderate 3=High 4=Extreme

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.

Storage : Outside shaded area or detached storage is preferred. Inside storage

should be in a cool, dry, well ventilated, noncombustible location, away from all possible sources of

ignition.

Work/Hygienic : Avoid contact with skin and avoid breathing vapors. Do not eat, drink, or

Practices smoke in work area. Wash hands before eating, drinking, or using restroom.

Do NOT place food, coffee or other drinks in the area where dusting or splashing of solutions

is possible.

Ventilation : Local exhaust is essential. Spark-proof fans desirable with mechanical

ventilation. Ducts should be located at ceiling level and lead upwards to the outside. Eyewash and

safety shower should be available in work area.

Protective Equipment : Rubber or synthetic chemical gloves and boots should be worn as well

as cotton clothing and underwear. Rubber or synthetic chemical coats or aprons should be available, an

encapsulating chemical protective clothing garment is desirable for heavy exposures. The use of long

sleeved clothing closed at the neck is advised. Change if clothing becomes contaminated.

Eye Protection : Chemical splash goggles should be worn when handling Anhydrous

Ammonia to protect from liquids or mists. A face shield can be worn

over chemical splash goggles as additional protection. Do not wear contact lenses when handling

Anhydrous Ammonia. A full-face air-purifying respirator (APR) or supplied-air respirator (SAR) should be worn to protect from chemical vapors.

Respiratory : Unless ventilation is adequate to keep concentration below permissible

Protection exposure limit (PEL), wear NIOSH approved ammonia chemical cartridge

Disposal of Container : Because of the toxicity of ammonia to aquatic organisms, NEVER dispose of

or allow any ammonia or ammonia contaminated water to flow into any surface water bodies. Surface water

bodies include drainage ditches, storm water and sanitary sewers, wetlands, ponds, lakes and streams.

Diking will contain the liquid and allow it to stabilize. Keep unprotected personnel away from area until it

is free of ammonia. Do not apply water directly to ammonia liquid as this will cause boiling and

splattering.

Soil contaminated with ammonia or aqua ammonia may need to be excavated and properly disposed

of according to local and state regulations. Consult

Federal, State, or Local Authorities for additional proper disposal procedures.
