When does an automatic compressor restart? | Suction pressure increases. |
What causes the low pressure cutout switch to actuate? | Low refrigerant pressure. |
What will happen if excessive foam occurs in the crankcase? | Bearing over heating. |
What will cause the release of refrigerant from the oil/refrigerant mixture? | Sudden reduction of pressure at start up. |
Define the refrigeration system between the expansion value & the compressor. | Low side |
What components separate the high side from the low side? | Compressor, metering device |
What does the compressor do? | Circulate refrigerante |
What will cause the suction line temperature to increase? | Heat load increase |

What will most likely occur if the evaporator coil becomes covered with frost? | Short cycle |
What would cause high head pressure at the compressor | Dirty condenser coils |
What will prevent the compressor from starting? | low refrigerant level will not cause L/P switch to acturate |
What problems are assoc. with excessive circ of the lubricating oil with the refrigerant? | Evap temp will rise, too much oil in the system |
Describe the operation of a refrigeration unit that is low on refrigerant? | Frequent cycling continuous starting |
List the methods to determine if a unit is low on refrigerant | Bubbles in the sight glass |
