The refrigerant in a mechanical compression refrigeration system absorbs and releases heat by
Changing its temperature
Changing its molecular composition
Changing its physical state
Converting heat to work
Which of the following devices can respond to changes in refrigeration conditions?
Throttle Valve
Orifice
Capillary tube
Thermostatic expansion valve
The three basic types of condensers used with HVAC/R systems are
Air cooled, water cooled, and evaporative
External, internal, and cross-charged
Condensing, non-condensing, and static
Standard, metric, and transitional
The purpose of the condenser in a refrigeration system is to
Absorb heat into the refrigerant
Reject heat from the refrigerant
Condense water vapor in the atmosphere
Reject heat from the condensing medium
Which of the following is a common method for leak detection in refrigeration systems?
Ultrasonic testing
Visual inspection
Pressure testing
All of the above
Besides improving efficiency, insulating the suction line:
Prevents moisture from condensing on the line
Prevents stray electrical current from traveling down the pipe
Serves as a backup sealing system to prevent refrigerant loss
Reduces mechanical vibrations set up by the compressor
The component of an Air Conditioning system that absorbs heat from indoor air is
Condenser
Throttle Valve
Evaporator
Compressor
Tube in tube, shell and coil, and shell and tube are all different types of
Evaporative condensers
Natural draft condensers
Water cooled condensers
Air cooled condensers
All vapor compression refrigeration compressors are designed to pressurize
Only liquid
Only vapor
Mostly vapor plus small quantities of liquid
Mostly liquid with small quantities of vapor
Select the refrigerant having non zero ozone depletion potential.
Carbon Dioxide
hydrochlorofluorocarbon
Water
Ammonia
Water vapor in the air condenses on the evaporator coil
whenever there is moisture in the refrigerant
even when the system is not operating
whenever the system is operating
whenever the evaporator temperature is below dew point temperature of the air
A refrigerant is
The fluid used in a refrigeration system for transferring heat
A fluid that is naturally cold
A fluid that can turn heat into work
A hydrocarbon based chemical with noble elements replacing some of the hydrogen atoms
Which type of condenser requires the most maintenance?
Condensers do not require maintenance
Water cooled condensers
Air cooled condensers
The maintenance requirements for air cooled and water cooled condensers are comparable.
What role do ventilation systems play in indoor air quality management?
increase the concentration of outdoor air pollutants
reduce the humidity levels
remove indoor air pollutants and introduce fresh air
regulate the temperature of the supply air
