  • low temperature superheated vapor
  • a high temperature superheated vapor
  • a high temperature subcooled liquid
  • a low temperature subcooled liquid

2: Liquid refrigerant flashing, or turning to vapor, in the liquid line may be due to

  • nothing
  • joint becomes oxidized and ditorted
  • copper becomes harder
  • none of the above

5: R-718 is rated unlimited for refrigeration quantity contained in a system. Why?

  • Because it's cheap
  • Because it's a non-flammable refrigerant
