ConclusionUsually not everything is worth replacing
or repairing The Opening Audit will identify
degradation and B/C ratioThe Closing Audit will quantify the
expected recovery
The audit results should be reconciled with the enthalpy drop tests.

ConclusionIt is a fair question to ask if the
degradation would have been identified and repaired without the use of an audit.
Some would. Some may not. And some repairs may take place that were not really necessary.
