containers. According to the NYC fire code, you must ensure that the containers
a. do not weigh more than 200lbs when filled
b. Are approved by the US Department of Transportation (DOT)
c. are approved by the OSHA association

a. Keep in the suction valve opened while the compressor is in the return stroke.
b. controls the clearance volume in the compressor with a solenoid
c. controls the opening of the passage into the compressor with variable vanes
d. unloads the pistons to create less pressure - ANSWERSKeep in the suction valve
opened while the compressor is in the return stroke.
In most semi hermetic compressors, the suction vapor is used to - ANSWERSCools the
motor
, The amount of refrigerant that flows through the orifices of an economizer is determined
by the - ANSWERSDifference between the high side and low side pressure
The installation of an inline refrigerant cleaning system is advisable - ANSWERSTo
remove impurities in the system
The type of refrigerant system that is least likely to leak refrigerant into the building
space that are being cooled are - ANSWERSIndirect systems
The suction pressure of a reciprocating compressor is 65 PSIG. The discharge pressure
of this compressor is 120 PSIG. The atmospheric is 14.7PSI. the compression ratio for
the given condition is closest to: - ANSWERS1.69 (PSIG+14.7) Then divide both PSIG
to get ratio
A superheated vappr is a - ANSWERSdry vapor above the saturation temperature
A refrigerant engineer verifies that a condenser water pump is cavitating. Of the
following, the most likely cause for this condition is: - ANSWERSA faulty cooling tower
water level controller
A centrifugal water pump is known as a lift pump when the - ANSWERSwater supply to
the pump suction inlet is below the pump level.
A TXV is used to maintain constant - ANSWERSEvaporator superheat
The chilled water supply to the building is 55F. If the chiller is being used for human
comfort, should you be concerned about this, and why? - ANSWERSYes, this
temperature is too high for human comfort purpose.
The packing gland of a centrifugal pump serves to: - ANSWERSThe drip part of the
packing gland, gives evidence that there is water in the pump.
Capacity control of a reciprocating hermetic compressor is typically achieved through -
ANSWERSOperation of the hot gas bypass valve.
The most important reason to sub-cool the refrigerant in the condenser is to ensure that:
- ANSWERSA pure liquid refrigerant will enter the metering device.
A refrigeration engineer is logging readings from a reciprocating system. Compressor
discharge temps have dropped significantly and the suction line pressure is high. Which
of the following may be causing this set of conditions? - ANSWERSAn expansion valve
is open too wide.
A low side float valve is used to maintain - ANSWERSThe level of the refrigerant in the
evaporator.
