Heat transfer that occurs when substances of different temperatures are in contact with
each other is called ____.

a. concentration
b. conduction
c. convection
d. radiation - correct answer...✔✔b (conduction)

What effect does raising the pressure in a sealed system have on refrigerant?

a. It becomes more difficult to subcool the liquid refrigerant
b. It becomes more difficult to superheat the refrigerant vapor
c. The refrigerant's boiling point decreases
d. The refrigerant's boiling point increases - correct answer...✔✔d (The refrigerant's
boiling point increases)

What is the primary danger to people near an accidental refrigerant release or spill?

a. Blurred vision caused by the refrigerant vapor coming in contact with the eyes
b. Changes in weather patterns caused by global warming
c. Damage to the food chain caused by decreased ozone levels in the stratosphere
d. Suffocation caused by the heavier refrigerant displacing oxygen in the air - correct
answer...✔✔d (Suffocation caused by the heavier refrigerant displacing oxygen in the
air)

A GRADESOLUTIONS

, a. Compressor
b. Condenser
c. Evaporator
d. Metering device - correct answer...✔✔c (Evaporator)

Why is superheat necessary in a system that utilizes hermetic compressors?

a. It ensures that dry vapor reaches the compressor so that mechanical damage does
not occur
b. It increases system capacity
c. It prevents liquid refrigerant from gassing the metering device
d. Superheat is necessary only when open compressors are being used - correct
answer...✔✔a (It ensures that dry vapor reaches the compressor so that mechanical
damage does not occur)

When the heat load on an evaporator increases, what is the effect on the system?

a. Suction pressure decreases and discharge pressure increases
b. Suction pressure increases and discharge pressure decreases
c. Suction pressure and discharge pressure both decrease
d. Suction pressure and discharge pressure both increase - correct answer...✔✔d
(Suction pressure and discharge pressure both increase)

What type of energy is transferred when work is done in the condenser?

a. Latent heat energy
b. Sensible heat energy
c. Both latent and sensible heat energy
d. Neither latent nor sensible heat energy - correct answer...✔✔c (Both latent and
sensible heat energy)

What is the primary function performed by a thermal expansion valve?

a. It maintains the correct superheat in the hot vapor leaving the compressor
b. It maintains the correct superheat in the suction vapor leaving the evaporator
c. It maintains the proper subcooling level in the liquid refrigerant
d. It prevents flash vapor bubbles from developing in refrigerant entering the evaporator
- correct answer...✔✔b (It maintains the correct superheat in the suction vapor leaving
the evaporator)

Which component pumps refrigerant through the system and raises the vapor
temperature?

a. Accumulator
b. Compressor
c. Condenser
