8-36.
If you do not have a tank-type cleaner,
you can clean an R-12 system by which of
the following means?
1.
By flushing boiling water through the
system three times
2.
By blowing hot air through the system
with a blower for 24 hours
3.
By inserting a hard wool felt filter
in the suction strainer screen and
operating the plant with an operator
4.
By using any one of the above methods
Question 8-37 is to be judged True or
False.
8-37.
The 2 PD air conditioning control may be
used where one common cooling coil serves
several different spaces.
8-38.
How should you clean the sensing elements
in humidistats?
1.
Use a soft brush
2.
Blow gently with air
3.
Spray with soap and water solution
4.
Use a hard brush
Learning Objective: Recognize troubles
that may be encountered with
refrigeration and air conditioning
systems,
and point out corrective
measures that may be required.
8-39.
What should you do to correct low
condensing pressure in an operating
refrigeration system?
1.
Reduce the water supply
2.
Increase the water pressure
3.
Clean the valves and the valve nests
4.
Adjust the high-pressure cutout
switch
8-40.
Insufficient refrigerant in a
refrigeration plant may cause which of
the following problems?
1.
High discharge pressure
2.
Low suction pressure
3.
Frosting of the crankcase
4.
High temperature of the overboard
water
8-41.
Which of the following actions should you
take to correct a low condensing pressure
in a refrigeration system?
1.
Add refrigerant
2.
Purge the condenser
3.
Increase the compressor speed
4.
Adjust the thermostatic expansion
valve
8-42.
8-43.
8-44.
8-45.
In an R-12 refrigeration plant, what is
the probable cause if the compressor runs
continuously?
1.
An open solenoid valve switch
2.
An inadequate supply of refrigerant
3.
Clogged condenser tubes
4.
An excess of liquid refrigerant
What are the two symptoms that indicate
an inadequate supply of water is passing
through the condenser of a refrigeration
plant?
1.
Excessively low temperature of the
overboard water and low discharge
pressure
2.
High suction pressure and high
temperature of the suction line
3.
High condensing pressure and
compressor short cycling on high
pressure switch
4.
High suction line temperature and
high discharge pressure
The cut-in point is set too high on the
low pressure control switch to an R-12
refrigeration system.
How will this
affect the functioning of the compressor?
1.
The compressor will short cycle
2.
The compressor will not operate
3.
The compressor will operate unloaded
4.
The compressor will operate
continuously
Which of the following conditions is
probably caused by an improperly adjusted
pressure regulating valve in a
refrigeration system?
1.
The refrigerant is bubbling
2.
The sudden loss of oil from the
crankcase
3.
The compressor continues to operate
unloaded
4.
The oil fails to return to the
compressor crankcase
Learning Objective: Point out the
general practices, maintenance
requirements, and tasks necessary for
proper operation of air compressors and
related system components, and identify
the safety precautions to be followed.
