| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The industry standard for airflow across the evaporator is cubic feet per minute (CMF), per ton of cooling. | 400 |
| when installed with a gas furnace, the evaporator is typical located on the side of the furnace. | up straight |
| once in the condenser the refrigerant vapor will first be | down straight |
| most manufactures recommend the condenser be installed with feet or more of vertical clearance and at least inches on each side for proper operation | 5, 12 |
| the circulates the refrigerant in the refrigeration Cricut | compressor |
| compressors are welds shut at the factory and are not field serviceable | hermetic |
| on a reciprocating compressor the space between the piston and the compressor head at the top of the compression stroke is called | clearance volume |
| most hermetic compressor motors are collided by | suction gas |
| an increase in discharge pressure or a decrease in suction pressure would result in | higher |
| a compressor has two spiral plates one stationary and one that orbits | scroll |
| What are the maximum allowable leak rates for comfort cooling, commercial refrigeration, and Industrial Process Refrigeration (IPR)? | Comfort Cooling: 10% Commercial Refrigeration: 20% Industrial Process Refrigeration (IPR): 30% |
| For a system containing 50 pounds or more of refrigerant that has exceeded the threshold leak rate, how many days does the owner have to repair the leak? | The owner has 30 days to repair the appliance so that it leaks below the threshold limit |
| If an appliance has a charge of 200 pounds or more of a regulated refrigerant and passes an initial verification leak test, within how many days must a follow-up verification test be conducted? | Within 10 days |
| According to the manual, what is the most efficient way to reduce recovery time when using a recovery unit? (think about the state of the refrigerant and the location of the receiver) | Recover in the liquid phase, or remove refrigerant from the condesner outlet when the condenser is below the receiver |
| System-dependent (passive) recovery equipment cannot be used when the appliance contains more than how many pounds of refrigerant? | More than 15 pounds |
| What level of vacuum (in inches of Hg) must you evacuate a medium-pressure appliance containing less than 200 lbs of refrigerant if using recovery equipment manufactured after November15, 1993? | 10" Hg vacuum |
| What is the recommended vacuum level (in microns) that should be achieved to ensure all moisture and non-condensable have been removed from a system? | 500 microns |
| Where is a refrigerant receiver typically located in a system that uses a thermostatic expansion valve (TXV)? | Typically found in the liquid line, at the outlet of the condenser |
| EPA regulations define certain repairs as "major". Which three specific component replacements are considered a "major repair"? | Replacement of an evaporator coil, condenser coil, or the compressor |
| When using multiple relief valves to protect a refrigeration system, how must they be installed in relation to each other? | They can only be installed in parallel |
| If after repairing a leak in an HCFC rack refrigeration system used in a supermarket, the system fails the initial leak verification test, how long does the technician have to make additional repairs? | The technician has a 30 day window to make additional repairs or develop a retrofit plan |
| Assuming no extensions apply, a cold storage warehouse operating an appliance charged with R-22 or any other regulated substance leaking above the threshold rate, can continue to operate the appliance without repair for how long? | 12 months before it must be retrofitted or retired |
| How many months does the owner or operator have to retrofit or retire a leaking appliance if the replacement appliance will use a refrigerant exempt from the venting prohibition? | 18 months |
| Based on the section 608 leak repair regulations chart and industrial process refrigeration system containing 1000 pounds or more of R – 22 that has exceeded the applicable leak rate threshold must be inspected for leaks every three months for how long? | 1 year after repair |
| The records of leak inspections, initial leak verification and follow-up verification tests must be kept on file by the owner or operator of the equipment for how long? | 3 years |
| After assembly and installation of a split system, the unit should first be pressurized with an inert gas, such as? | Dry-nitrogen |
| True or false, when absolutely necessary, dry nitrogen can be used with a trace amount of the systems designed refrigerant for leak detection. | True |
| True or false, it is required that the purchase of active recycling and recovery equipment be reported to the EPA. | False |
| System-dependent or passive recovery techniques cannot be used as EPA regulations prohibit their use when the appliance contains over how many pounds of refrigerant? | 15 pounds |
| True or false, cooling the recovery cylinder will lower its pressure and speed up the recovery process or removal of refrigerant charge from my system. | True |
