For what refrigerant is an equipment room refrigerant monitor required under ASHRAE standard 15? R-____.

The rule being tested is that ASHRAE 15 requires an equipment room refrigerant monitor when the refrigerant in the system poses a potential hazard in an enclosed space. This means a detector is installed to notice leaks early so ventilation or other safety measures can kick in before exposure levels become dangerous. R-123 is the refrigerant specified by ASHRAE 15 as requiring such a monitor, because leaks can accumulate in equipment rooms and create a health hazard. The monitor provides early warning and helps protect occupants by triggering ventilation or safety interlocks. The other refrigerants listed do not carry that same monitoring requirement in typical ASHRAE 15 applications, either due to different hazard classifications or usage profiles.
