FTC HVA1220 Mech Instrumentation Lab Quiz 1 WK 1

Multiple Choice
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
 

 1. 

The evaporator temperature has to be lower than the box temperature because:
a.
Heat goes to cold; the heat in the box must transfer to the refrigerant in the evaporator.
b.
The compressor will be damaged by too high a suction temperature.
c.
Expansion valves are designed to lower evaporator temperatures
 

 2. 

The condensing temperature has to be higher than the ambient air temperature because:
a.
Heat goes to cold; the heat in the condenser must transfer to the ambient air.
b.
The compressor is designed to only raise temperatures, not lower them.
c.
To allow for a safety factor in case the condenser gets dirty
 

 3. 

f the R22 evaporator temperature is 25°, what is its suction pressure supposed to be? 
a.
68
b.
49
c.
35
d.
15
 

 4. 

The “high side” of a refrigeration system is:
a.
Between the discharge of the compressor and the inlet of the metering device.
b.
Between the outlet of the metering device and the inlet of the compressor.
c.
The pressures inside the crankcase of the compressor.
 

 5. 

The difference between the evaporator temperature and the suction line temperature at the coil outlet is:
a.
superheat
b.
latent heat
c.
artificial heat
d.
extended heat
 

 6. 


The condenser is designed to:
a.
absorb heat
b.
reject heat
c.
vaporize refrigerant
d.
warm the space
 

 7. 


6-      How is subcooling determined?
a.
Subtract the temperature of the liquid line leaving the condenser from the condensing temperature
b.
Add the temperature of the vapor line leaving the evaporator to the evaporator temperature
c.
Look at the high side gauge and find the temperature corresponding to the head pressure.
d.
Look it up in the Yellow Pages
 

 8. 


6-      How can you be sure a condenser is clean?
a.     
b.     
c.     

a.
Hire good apprentices to clean the units.
b.
Clean it yourself.
c.
Check the head pressure.
 

 9. 


6-      What is the difference between slugging and flooding?      
a.
Slugging is a little too much refrigerant; flooding is way too much refrigerant
b.
Flooding is a little too much refrigerant; slugging is way too much refrigerant
c.
No difference they are the same
 

 10. 


6-      How do you prevent flooding and slugging?
a.
Keep suction pressure up.
b.
Keep superheat at proper levels.
c.
Install a crankcase heater or pump-down solenoid.
