A)
The defrost cycle is normally terminated - ANSWER - Based on either temperature,
pressure, or time
Why would a 35 degree meduim temperature case need to defrost? - ANSWER - The
coil temperature for a 35 degree box opertes below freezing

attain is approximately - ANSWER - -40 degrees
A system that maintains temperatures of -250 degrees and below is a - ANSWER -
Cryogenic system
Three common methods of controlling evaporator temperature are - ANSWER -
Conventional thermostat, a suction pressure cut out control, or an evaporator
pressure regulator
When a reach in cooler or freezer is not located near a drain evaporator condensate
is - ANSWER - Drained into a heated pan that evaporates the water
Why is a check valve installed in the auction line of the lowest temperature coil in
multiple evaporator system? - ANSWER - To prevent refrigerant migration from the
higher temperature and pressure coil to the lower temperature and pressure coil
What is commonly used to control defrost operations? - ANSWER - Defrost timer
When multiple compressors are installed in parallel on the same refrigeration
system, provisions must be made to ensure that - ANSWER - The oil level is correct
in all compressors
, What are the broad areas that commercial refrigeration equipment is grouped in
based on the evaporator coil temperature? - ANSWER - High, medium, low, and
cryogenic temperatures
What is the purpose of the door switch on a walk in freezer? - ANSWER - To prevent
warm air from entering the case by shutting off the fans when the door is opened

condensing units located indoors? - ANSWER - 200 cfm per 1000 btu
A refrigerated case that maintains a temperature of 28 degrees would be classified
as - ANSWER - A medium temperature system
Why should the evaporator not be installed above the door in a walk in cooler or
freezer? - ANSWER - It will draw warm humid air and frost more quickly
What is that normal storage temperature for food items like milk, cheese, fresh
fruits and vegetables? - ANSWER - From 32 degrees to 40 degrees
The first step in selecting commercial refrigeration equipment for a new installation
is to - ANSWER - Perform a heat load calculation to determine the required btu
capacity of the system
What refrigeration component makes it possible to use a single compressor to
control multiple cases at different temperatures? - ANSWER - Evaporator pressure
regulator
What is the advantage of using multiple compressors on a supermarket rack
system? - ANSWER - System capacity can match refrigeration loads that vary over a
wide range
What must be considered when performing a heat load calculation for a walk in
cooler or freezer are - ANSWER - Heat transmission, air infiltration, and product load
