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
is such that a leak of refrigerant from a failed connection will enter the occupied space
11: Low ambient controls are used when
on air conditioning systems only

1 Kelvin
The rate of conduction
19: Heat transferred by conduction from one body to another is done
via radiation
via heat rays
via solids
via liquids
20: What is a high-side float?
Located in the liquid line entering the evaporator, so when the refrigerant level is higher in the liquid line than the evaporator, the float rises to allow more refrigerant flow into the evaporator
Located in the liquid line entering the evaporator, is a float-type metering device that rises to reduce refrigerant flow when the liquid refrigerant level rises in the high side of the chiller
An electronic-type metering device that contains a float assembly within the device which can accurately meter refrigerant into the evaporator as the load varies
Located in the evaporator, is a float-type metering device that rises to reduce refrigerant flow when the liquid refrigerant level rises in the low side of the chiller
21: What must be done if refrigeration lines pass through a concrete floor?
moisture barrier
insulated
installed through a pipe casing
leak checked

True
False
23: At higher altitudes, boiling temperatures

depends on the refrigerant
decrease
are unaffected
24: When this is installed on the high side of a system, it must be capable of reading 1.2 times the design pressure (ASHRAE 15 9.11.3)
Pressure gauge
Temperature gauge
Sight glass gauge
All of the above
25: Industrial occupancy is
a premise or that portion of a premise that is not open to the public, where access by authorized persons is controlled, and that is used to manufacture, process, or store goods, such as chemicals, food, ice, meat, or petroleum.
is a premise or that portion of a premise where large number of people congregate and from which occupants cannot quickly vacate the space.
a premise or that portion of a premise where people transact business, receive personal service, or purchase food and other goods.
