Where do leaks commonly occur in low pressure systems? a. Evaporator b. Condenser c. Purge unit d. Gaskets or fittings - ANSWER d. Gaskets or fittings Where do leaks commonly occur in open-drive type compressor systems? a. Evaporator b. Condenser c. Shaft seal d. Cooling tower - ANSWER c. Shaft seal Does refrigerant go out of the system in low pressure systems or does air and moisture go in? a. Refrigerant escapes through low pressure leaks. b. Air and moisture enter the refrige...

Before recovering refrigerant from a chiller suspected of having tube leaks,... - ANSWER ...drain the water sides of the evaporator and condenser. Draining the water sides helps to avoid the introduction of additional water into the system cause by the evacuation process and to prevent the water from freezing as the refrigerant evaporates during recovery. How can you pressurize a low-pressure chiller to make a non-major repair? - ANSWER Warm up the system. Under EPA regulations, you may wa...
