What is the MOST important aspect about installing a rooftop package unit? - Answer The roof will support the weight What could be at fault of an air cooled system that operates 50°F over ambient temperature? - Answer An overcharge, air in the system, or air re-circulating over the condenser Where should the sensing bulb on a TXV be located? - Answer As close to the evaporator as possible on a horizontal line When a transformers secondary windings are wired in parallel, it is important to wire them ____________ - Answer In phase with each other If a single phase compressor is cycling on its overload protector, what should be checked? - Answer Voltage input, test capacitors, start relays, and motor windings. What is the maximum pressure drop across an R-404A suction line filter dryer? - Answer 2 PSI (2 degree saturation temp) What type of maintenance do water cooled condensers require? - Answer Clean the coil with scale remover and adjust the water valve If a CSR motor starts and operates with a high amperage, what could be at fault? - Answer A faulty run capacitor
What causes excessive head pressure on water cooled condensers? - Answer Fouled condenser water, dirty water cooled condenser, over charge and air trapped in the condenser What happens during a hot pull down? - Answer The refrigeration system works hard and for low temperature systems a CPR (crankcase pressure regulator) is used to prevent compressor overloading What will ice on the ceiling and floor of a walk-in freezer typically indicate? - Answer A plugged drain line or a defective drain pan heater Name some ways to maintain head pressure during low ambient conditions - Answer Reduce the airflow over the condenser by a reverse acting high pressure switch, an electronic fan speed control, or louvers or use a head pressure control regulating valve (HPR) to back flood the condenser What should the temperature difference be between the box temperature and the boiling point temperature for a reach-in cooler? - Answer 10° to 20° F What is an indicator of air in a refrigeration system? - Answer High head pressure and the ambient temperature and saturation temperature are incompatible after a system pumpdown What type of valve is a heat reclaim valve? - Answer A 3-way hot gas valve Which amperage is higher, inrush or the operating amperage? - Answer Inrush Two capacitors wired in series, one 20 MFD and the other is 10 MFD, what's the total MFD? - Answer CT= 1 over 1/C¹ + 1/C² + ... When a three phase compressor operates with only two legs of power, this is known as: - Answer Single phasing What is the MFD with a 5 MFD in parallel with a 15 MFD capacitor? - Answer CT = C¹ + C² + ... Parallel
