| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The most efficient method of leak checking a charged low pressure refrigeration unit is to | Pressurize the system using controlled hot water or heater blankets |
| Which of the following best describes the refrigerant recovery process from an R-123 system | Start with the liquid removal and then switch over to liquid recovery |
| Under ASHRAE standard 34, R-134a is classified as | A1 |
| If a strong odor is detected during the recovery process | A compressor burnout may have occurred |
| The owner must keep records of refrigerant added to a low pressure system during service and maintenance if the system charge is | 50 pounds or greater |
| How long would an equipment owner or operator have to retrofit or retire an appliance that has exceeded the threshold leak rate if the replacement appliance uses 50 pounds or more of an exempt refrigerant | 18 months |
| The standard for machine room safety is | ASHRAE-15 |
| When pressurizing a low pressure system for leak detection purposes, do not exceed | 10 psig |
| After all the liquid has been removed from an average 350 ton, low pressure appliance, approximately how much vapor refrigerant remains in the system | 100 pounds |
| Where is refrigerant added to a low pressure system during the charging process | The lowest access point on the system such as the evaporator charging valve |
| To repair a chiller operating with R-22, the technician | Must have a Type II certification |
| When leak testing a low pressure chiller, the maximum pressure to use is | 10 psig |
| Which organization establishes the refrigerant safety group standard | ASHRAE |
| Because a low pressure system operates below atmospheric pressure (in vacuum) | Leaks in gaskets or fittings will cause air and moisture to enter the system |
| In a low pressure chiller, air and other non condensables collect at the | Top section of the condenser |
| When installing more than one, pressure relief valves must be installed | In parallel with each other |
| A low pressure chiller used for comfort cooling must be repaired if it has an annual leak rate of ___ of the total charge | 10 percent |
| During evacuation of systems with large amounts of water, it may be necessary to | Increase pressure by introducing nitrogen to counteract freezing |
| Where is the purge unit located in a low pressure system | The top of the condenser |
| The EPA required evacuation level for recovery or recycling equipment used on low pressure system is | 25mm of Hg absolute |
| What type of equipment can be worked on with Type III certification | Low pressure |
| What can be used to pressurize a chiller system before opening the system for a non major repair? | Controlled hot water |
| When charging a low pressure system, refrigerant should be introduced to the system as a vapor to raise the systems saturation tempature to a minimum of | 36 degrees |
| Which of the following refrigerants has a safety classification of B-1 | HCFC-134a (R-134a) |
| The rupture disk on a low pressure chiller has a burst pressure of | 15 psig |
