move in a circuit.
amperes - ANSWER- Current is measured in ____.
OCPD - ANSWER- A(n) ____ is a device that automatically opens a circuit to prevent
damage from a high-current condition.
contact - ANSWER- A(n) ____ is the conducting part of a switch that operates with
another conducting part to complete (close) or break (open) a circuit.
relay - ANSWER- A(n) ____ is an electrical switch that is actuated by a separate circuit.
open - ANSWER- A(n) ____ circuit is a circuit having an incomplete path, which
prevents current flow.
resistance - ANSWER- ____ is the opposition to the flow of electrons.
conductor - ANSWER- A(n) ____ is a material that has little resistance and permits

controlled space that sends signals to a control system in order to maintain a set
temperature.
air-cooled - ANSWER- ____ condensers are the most common condensers used in
refrigeration systems.
latent - ANSWER- ____ heat is heat energy that causes a change of state but no
temperature change.
condenser - ANSWER- A(n) ____ is a heat exchanger that removes heat from high-
pressure refrigerant vapor.

34.5; 212 - ANSWER- A boiler horsepower is the power available from the evaporation
of ____lb of water per hour at a feedwater temperature of ____F.
100,000 - ANSWER- A therm is a unit of heat energy equivalent to ____ Btu.
true - ANSWER- T or F: A package boiler is preassembled at the factory.
primary - ANSWER- ____ air is air in the combustion process that regulates the rate of
combustion.
heat - ANSWER- Grade is a coal classification related to size, ash, and ____.
sensible - ANSWER- ____ heat is heat that can be measured by a change in
temperature.
field-erected - ANSWER- A ____ boiler is a boiler that is constructed on-site.
scanner - ANSWER- A flame ____ is a safety device that senses if the pilot light and/or
main flame is lit.
10; 11.5 - ANSWER- Boiler water pH should be between ____ and ____.
dry - ANSWER- ____ lay-up is storage of a boiler with all water drained.
lubricant - ANSWER- A(n) ____ is a substance that separates moving (bearing)
surfaces to reduce the friction and/or wear between them.
