TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF REFRIGERATION & A/C

Q.1

If the superheat is abnormally high at the evaporator outlet, then this must mean that the expansion valve is closed too tightly.
True
False
  

Q.2

A three-phase 380/660V motor supplied by 3-phase 380V must be delta (D) coupled.
True
False
  

Q.3

If the external temperature is 27°C, then the water flowing through a cooling tower can never be cooled to below this value.
True
False
  

Q.4

If there is a voltage measured between the terminals of an electrical contact, then this confirms that the contact is open.
True
False
  

Q.5

To draw water from a depth of 20m, two surface pumps are often be installed in side-by-side.
True
False
  

Q.6

If the bulb of a thermostatic expansion valve has been pierced, all the refrigerant in the system will escape into the atmosphere.
True
False
  

Q.7

Pre-expansion in the liquid line is more likely to occur when the evaporator is located at a lower level than that of the liquid receiver.
True
False
  

Q.8

With R12 transitional replacement blends, the liquid temperature gradually increases as it moves through the evaporator.
True
False
  

Q.9

In order to replace a blocked capillary expansion valve, all you need to know is its length and external diameter.
True
False
  

Q.10

Using a dry cooler results in a lower HP than using a cooling tower.
True
False
  

Q.11

In order to assist the return to normal freezing conditions after defrosting, it is recommended that both a MOP expansion valve and a start-up valve are used.
True
False
  

Q.12

If the flow of water through pipe-work is doubled, the pressure drop in the pipe-work is also doubled.
True
False
  

Q.13

An excessively low LP, a high superheat and low sub-cooling are typical signs of a lack of refrigerant charge in a system.
True
False
  

Q.14

The greater the difference between the ambient temperature and the evaporating temperature in a cold room, the higher the humidity.
True
False
  

Q.15

In a reversible heat pump, a small difference between the HP and LP can result in seizure of the 4-way cycle inversion valve.
True
False
  

Q.16

When the liquid outlet valve is closed, it is quite normal for the HP to increase while compressor pump-down is underway.
True
False
  

Q.17

In a closed system, it is generally best to install an expansion vessel under nitrogen pressure at the pump discharge.
True
False
  

Q.18

If the refrigerant liquid temperature is 30°C at the condenser outlet, then sub-cooling can be assumed to be adequate.
True
False
  

Q.19

A 2-speed Dahlander type motor has a terminal box containing 6 terminals.
True
False
  

Q.20

If a chilled water pump is rotating in reverse, Delta T for the water at the evaporator increases.
True
False
