  • is such that a leak of refrigerant from a failed connection can not enter the occupied space
  • is such that any leak will cause injury or death to anyone within a 100 square foot area
  • is a system highly likely to leak form a failed connection or component of such system

9: Foaming of oil in a compressor is most likely to occur

  • when ambient temperature are low
  • when the evaporator temperatures are below 32F

  • GPM, pipe size, and equivalent head.

12: A high side float is a

  • float type valve that controls the amount of refrigerant stored in the receiver
  • float type switch that stops the compressor when the pressure on the high side becomes too high
  • float type valve that controls the crankcase oil level
  • metering device used on critically charged systems that controls the level of the liquid refrigerant in the high pressure side of the system.
