1-While refilling an 8-quart (7.57 L) system with coolant: Technician A initially puts in 4 quarts (3.78 L) of straight coolant and tops it off with water. Technician B fills the system with the correct mixture, tightens the radiator cap, and then checks for leaks. Who is correct?
2-While checking for conditions that might cause coolant electrolysis: Technician A places the positive lead of a voltmeter into the coolant and connects the negative lead to a ground. Technician B checks for the presence of voltage in the coolant with the ignition off. Who is correct?
3-Technician A says that if the PCV valve or connecting hoses become clogged, excessive pressure will develop in the crankcase and can cause oil leaks. Technician B says that if the PCV valve or connecting hoses become clogged, oil may be pushed into the air cleaner or cause it to be drawn into the intake manifold. Who is correct?
4-While bleeding air from a cooling system: Technician A loosens a heater hose at its highest…

- Technician 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_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 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_forward
- While conducting a pressure test on an A/C system, the ambient temperature is 80°F, the low-side gauge reads low (8 psi), and the high side also reads low (85 psi). Which of these could cause these readings? Low refrigerant level Normal operation Bad compressor A high-side restrictionarrow_forwardWhat determines the pressure on the low-pressure side of the system?arrow_forwardWhen checking an A/C system, the evaporators inlet and outlet tubes feel like they are at the same temperature.

- In the induced draft cooling tower, the fan forces the air through the tower. True Falsearrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is not true? A direct acting PRV: Is complex in construction, therefore can malfunction if a very small dirt gets trapped inside the valve, which may result in safety hazard Offers uneven flow Does not provide precise pressure control Causes more wastage of HP compared to a compound one Which of the following basic system components has the primary function of removing the heat of compression from the air? Receiver Relief valve Pressure regulator Dryer Aftercooler Which of the following statements is true? A single acting cylinder may have two ports at two different ends and pressurized fluid can be directed to both of them A single acting cylinder with two ports will can be used as a double acting cylinder A single acting cylinder may have two ports at two different ends but into only one of the ports pressurized fluid is being directed A single acting cylinder…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
- Which of the following statements is not true about orifice tube systems? The suction line must be cool to the touch from the evaporator outlet to the compressor. The liquid line from the condenser outlet to the evaporator inlet should be cool. The evaporator should feel very cold. The accumulator must be cool to the touch.arrow_forwardTwo technicians were discussing how comparing the temperature of a high-pressure line to that of a low- pressure line would help evaluate an A/C system when the system does not have a sight glass. Technician A says that the high-pressure line will feel warmer than the low-pressure line if the system is operating normally. Technician B says that both lines should feel cold after the system has been run for a while if the system is working normally. Who is right? Technician A only Technician B only Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhich of the following is true regarding a reheat water circuit that utilizes two-way modulating valves? A. The water is always circulating and is not prone to coil freeze-up. B. The flow rate is always constant through the reheat water circuit. C. The pump must be able to vary its flow. D. The reheat coil is equipped with a bypass pipe.arrow_forward
