SECTION 1: REFRIGERATION FUNDAMENTALS & THERMODYNAMICS
(Questions 1-60)
1. A more efficient centrifugal compressor operation results from:
A) Increasing condensing pressure
B) Lowering condensing pressure
C) Increasing evaporator pressure
D) Decreasing suction pressure
Answer: B) Lowering condensing pressure
Rationale: Lower condensing pressure reduces the compression ratio,
decreasing the work required by the compressor and improving overall cycle
efficiency. This is a fundamental principle of refrigeration thermodynamics.
2. The heat removed from the refrigerant in a condenser is:
A) Sensible heat only
B) Latent heat only
C) Sensible and latent heat
D) Neither sensible nor latent heat
,Answer: C) Sensible and latent heat
Rationale: The condenser removes desuperheating heat (sensible), latent heat
of condensation, and subcooling heat (sensible). All three processes occur as
refrigerant transitions from superheated vapor to subcooled liquid.
3. A superheated vapor is:
A) Moist vapor at saturation temperature
B) Dry vapor above saturation temperature
C) A mixture of liquid and vapor
D) Subcooled liquid
Answer: B) Dry vapor above saturation temperature
Rationale: Superheated vapor exists at a temperature higher than the
saturation temperature for its pressure. It contains no liquid droplets and is
completely dry.
4. Under normal conditions, refrigerant enters the compressor as:
A) High pressure superheated vapor
B) Low pressure superheated vapor
C) Low pressure saturated liquid
D) High pressure subcooled liquid
Answer: B) Low pressure superheated vapor
*Rationale: The compressor suction draws low pressure superheated vapor
from the evaporator. Superheat ensures no liquid enters the compressor,
preventing slugging and damage.
,5. Under normal conditions, refrigerant leaves the compressor as:
A) Low pressure superheated vapor
B) High pressure superheated vapor
C) High pressure saturated liquid
D) Low pressure saturated vapor
Answer: B) High pressure superheated vapor
Rationale: The compressor raises both pressure and temperature, discharging
high pressure superheated vapor to the condenser.
6. For a refrigerant to become superheated, it must be heated in a section of
the low side refrigerant line:
A) Where liquid refrigerant is present
B) Where no liquid refrigerant is present
C) Where high pressure exists
D) Where subcooling occurs
Answer: B) Where no liquid refrigerant is present
Rationale: Superheating occurs after all liquid has boiled off. The vapor must
be heated in a section where no liquid refrigerant remains.
7. The amount of refrigerant that flows through the orifices of an economizer
is determined by:
A) Temperature of the refrigerant
B) Difference between high side and low side pressure
C) Size of the compressor
D) Ambient temperature
, Answer: B) Difference between high side and low side pressure
Rationale: The pressure differential between high and low sides drives
refrigerant through the economizer orifices. This pressure difference
determines flow rate.
8. A high side float valve is used to maintain:**
A) Constant level of refrigerant in the evaporator
B) Constant level of refrigerant in the condenser
C) Constant superheat
D) Constant pressure
Answer: B) Constant level of refrigerant in the condenser**
Rationale: A high side float maintains a constant liquid level in the
condenser/receiver. It meters liquid refrigerant to the evaporator based on
liquid level.
9. A low side float valve is used to maintain:
A) Constant level of refrigerant in the evaporator
B) Constant level of refrigerant in the condenser
C) Constant superheat
D) Constant pressure
