Term
Automatic Expansion Valves
Definition
Evaporator pressure closes valve, spring pressure opens valve.
Term
A faulty check valve on a pump will cause the most damage
Definition
On start-up.
Term
If the TEV sensing bulb falls off the suction line, you will
Definition
flood the evaporator and raise the suction pressure
Term
A clogged condenser pump strainer can cause a loss of pressure causing
Definition
high condenser head pressure.
Term
A solenoid valve is part of the pump down cycle.
Definition
Thermostat solenoid valve and then the low pressure control.
Term
What is the proper start-up procedure?
Definition
Start chilled water pump and condenser water pump, check tower fans, compressor oil and position of refrigeration valves, start machine.
Term
A reciprocating machine cycles multistage compressors on and off with
Definition
the low pressure control.
Term
The refrigerant that has the best cooling effect is
Definition
ammonia.
Term
In an induced draft cooling tower that is operating efficiently, the leaving water temperature is
Definition
between the prevailing dry and wet bulb temperatures.
Term
A sudden reduction in the supply of condenser water could result in
Definition
increase in head pressure.
Term
Reciprocating compressor unloaders work by
Definition
keeping compressor suction valves open.
Term
In a well design system, the percent of lubricant circulated should not exceed
Definition
10%
Term
Oil foaming in the compressor is a result of
Definition
liquid refrigerant in the crankcase.
Term
The main reason for installing an oil separator on the discharge line is to
Definition
return oil to the compressor crankcase.
Term
In a reciprocating compressor using the splash system for lubrication, the foaming of oil is caused by
Definition
a sudden decrease in pressure.
Term
Charge vapor into the
Definition
suction side of the compressor.(low side)
Term
Oil in a refrigeration system reduces
Definition
wear and friction.
Term
A filter dryer is used to remove
Definition
moisture
Term
Oil separator is located on the discharge line
Definition
as far from the compressor as possible
Term
A solenoid valve
Definition
does not vary the flow of refrigerant.
Term
The TEV
Definition
modulates and controls the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator.
Term
A motor has 4 belts, if one is worn
Definition
replace all 4 belts.
Term
If you use an automatic expansion valve with a variable load, you will
Definition
starve the evaporator.
Term
Non-condensable gases can cause
Definition
high head pressure.
Term
Horse power will increase
Definition
as head pressure increases
