A) 1 percent B) 2 percent C) 5 percent D) 10 percent Each 5 percent reduction in air flow results in a 1 percent reduction in capacity. 3 / 15 Which of the following is not a cause for the compressor running continuously? A) thermostat differential set too closely B) shortage of refrigerant C) compressor too small for load D) discharge valve leaks Thermostat differential set too closely is not a cause for the compressor running continuously. Causes for the compressor running continuously are the following: -shortage of refrigerant -compressor too small for load -discharge valve leaks 4 / 15 If the compressor has high suction pressure, which of the following cannot be the reason? A) insufficient gas in system B) overfeeding of expansion valve C) compressor too small for evaporation D) leaky suction valves Insufficient gas in the system is not a cause of the compressor having high suction pressure. Causes for the compressor having high suction pressure include the following: -compressor too small for evaporation -overfeeding of expansion valve -leaky suction valves 5 / 15 Refrigerants are recognized by a standard color code, which color is assigned to R-11. A) white B) green C) yellow D) orange Refrigerants are recognized by a standard color code. The assignations are the following: R-11 Orange R-12White R-22 Green R-500 Yellow 6 / 15 1 BTU per hour is equal to __________. A) 1296 ft. lb. per minute B) 1.296 ft. lb. per minute C) 12.96 ft. lb. per minute D) 129.6 ft. lb. per minute 1 BTU per hour is equal to 12.96 ft. lb. per minute, 0.293 watt and .00039 HP. 7 / 15 When working with wiring controls, what happens when you join the red wire to the yellow wire? A) the compressor will turn off B) the compressor will turn on C) the fan will turn on D) the fan will turn off When working with wiring controls, the compressor will turn on when you join the red wire to the yellow wire. 8 / 15 Which of the following will not cause refrigerant leaks in a brazed joint? A) uneven heat B) oxidizing the copper C) improper use of flux D) use of nitrogen The use of nitrogen will not cause refrigerant leaks in a brazed joint. 9 / 15 What is a cause for a suction line icing up? A) low charge B) high suction pressure C) expansion valve D) evaporation A line for suction line icing is low charge. 10 / 15 The temperature at which maximum saturation of the air occurs, and water begins to condense out of the air is referred to as__________ . A) absolute humidity B) relative humidity C) specific humidity D) the dew point The temperature at saturation for a given humidity ratio and given pressure is the dew point. If moist air encounters a surface at or below the dew point, water will condense out of the air. This is how a cooling coil removes water from the supply air stream to a building. 11 / 15 How should a leak in a length of copper tubing be repaired? A) by replacing the entire section B) by brazing over the leak C) by installing a new section at break area D) by brazing over the area A leak in a length of copper tubing should be repaired by brazing over the leak. 12 / 15 Metal ducts may not be installed in or within__________ inches of the ground. A) 6 B) 3 C) 4 D) 8 When installing metal ducts in the ground, it is necessary to ensure that they are not in or within four inches of the ground. 13 / 15 Which of the following is the normal pressure for liquid petroleum gas? A) 3.5 in. W-C B) 8 in. W-C C) 9.5 in. W-C D) 11 in. W-C The normal pressure for liquid petroleum gas is 11 in. W-C 14 / 15 If the unit is not providing air delivery out of the registers, which of the following could be the reason? A) fan motor is not operating B) open power switch C) blown fuse D) All of the above If the unit is not providing air delivery out of the registers, any of the following could be the reason: -fan motor is not operating -open power -blown fuse -system not set for summer -broken connection -register is closed 15 / 15 What is the result of the compressor capacity being reduced when the suction pressure is reduced? A) this balances the evaporator load B) this tends to increase the temperature C) this will boil off all the refrigerant D) this regulates the flow of refrigerant The result of the compressor capacity being reduced when the suction pressure is reduced balances the evaporator load.
