Questions
What problem can using large vacuum pumps lead to and how can a technician
prevent it?
a. Power system overload
b. Can cause trapped water to freeze. During evacuation of systems
with large amounts of water, it may be necessary to increase
pressure by introducing nitrogen to counteract freezing
c. Collapse the tubing
d. Damage gaskets - ------------ANS: b. Can cause trapped water to freeze. During
evacuation of systems
with large amounts of water, it may be necessary to increase
pressure by introducing nitrogen to counteract freezing
After removal of liquid, about how much vapor will remain in the system on a 350
ton R-11 chiller?
a. 10 lbs of vapor after all the liquid has been removed
b. 20 lbs of vapor after all the liquid has been removed100 lbs of vapor after
all the liquid has been removed
c. 50 lbs of vapor after all the liquid has been removed
d. 100 lbs of vapor after all the liquid has been removed - ------------ANS: d. 100 lbs
of vapor after all the liquid has been removed
At what point in the system should you charge a low pressure system and what
should you start the charge with?
