AIRCONDITIONING SYSTEM

Test I True or False

1. Any liquid that will boil at temperatures near the freezing point of water can be used as
refrigerant.
2. The heat in the room cause refrigerant to cool.
3. The absence of heat makes the surrounding area cooler.
4. R134A usually boils at -26.3˚C.
5. The condenser increases the pressure of the vapour and the intensity of heat.
6. The orifice maintains a pressure difference between the high pressure vapour and the low
pressure liquid.
7. The boiling process of the refrigerant means it collects heat from the surrounding area.
8. The desiccant in the In-line drier or receiver-drier removes moisture and maintains pressure.
9. The accumulator act as a liquid/vapor separator and ensure that only vapor will reach the
compressor.
10. The pressure increase is accomplished by adding a restriction.
11. The work of the condenser is to transfer heat in the refrigerant gas to the atmosphere.
12. The work of the evaporator is to transfer heat in the operators compartment to the
atmosphere.
13. Boiling water is a natural heating process.
14. When the pressure of the vapour increases, the temperature decreases.
15. Any pressure less than atmospheric pressure is vacuum pressure.
