for reuse;

"refrigerant charge" (製冷劑量), in relation to refrigeration equipment,
means the maximum quantity of controlled refrigerant the
refrigeration equipment is intended to hold for the purposes of its operation,
and for this purpose that quantity shall be determined-

   (a)  by reference to the design and specifications of the
