  • 9F
  • 29F
  • 11F
  • 21F

  • The machine will cool excessively as the solution crystallizes.
  • The machine will stop cooling and the solution will evaporate.
  • The machine will cool excessively as the solution evaporates

6: RPM's of a centrifugal compressor are at approximately?

  • 30,000
  • 15,000
  • 10,000
  • 500

7: Megaohm meter's main function is

  • to detect weak motor winding insulation of a refrigeration or air conditioning compressor by creating high DC voltages to the compressor
  • to detect very high resistances to ground of refrigeration or air conditioning compressors
  • to test very high value capacitors for large 3-phase refrigeration compressors and blower motors.
  • Both a and b are correct

8: When liquid receivers are used, the liquid refrigerant shall not exceed _______percent of the volume at 90F.

  • 99%
  • 90%
  • 75%
  • 80%

9: Before you change the type of refrigerant in a refrigeration system, what three things must be done?

  • nothing must be done
  • place sign, check for leaks, insulate
  • you can't change refrigerants
  • make sure it's compatible, notify owner, notify A.H.J

10: Calculate the voltage in a series circuit when the total amperage is 10 amps and the resistors have values of: R1=12 ohms, R2=8 ohms, R3=4 ohms

  • 2,400 volts
  • 24.0 volts
  • 240 volts
  • 2.40 volts

11: What is a high-side float?

  • 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
  • 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 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
