- Technician A says that when the refrigerant is pumped out of the compressor and sent to the condenser, heat in the refrigerant is moved to the outside air by conduction and convection. Technician B says that the refrigerant leaves the bottom of the condenser as a high-pressure, high-temperature liquid. Who is correct? Technician A only Technician B only Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhich of the following statements best defines the term evacuation? A process in which the refrigerant in a system is released. A condition that exists when a compressor runs until there is no refrigerant left in the system. The process that pulls all traces of air and moisture from the system. A process that uses air to force moisture and dirt out of the system.arrow_forwardTechnician A feels up and down the face or along the return bends of the condenser for a temperature change and says that there should be a gradual change from hot to warm from the bottom to the top. Technician B says that a restriction in the condenser will be evident by a sudden change in temperature. Who is correct? Technician A only Technician B only Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- Technician A says that some refrigerant leaks can also be traced to pinholes in the evaporator caused by acid, which forms when water and refrigerant mix. Technician B says that leaks are most often found at the compressor hose connections and at the various fittings and joints in the system. Who is correct? Technician A only Technician B only Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A says that air in the system can cause excessive pressure within the system, restricting the refrigerants ability to change its state from gas to liquid within the refrigeration cycle. Technician B says that moisture can cause freeze-up at the cap tube or expansion valve, which restricts refrigerant flow or blocks it completely. Who is correct? Technician A only Technician B only Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A says that evacuating (pumping down) an air-conditioning system removes air and moisture from the system.
