- 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_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_forwardWhen condenser tubes become fouled, they may be cleaned by A. using a steel brush. B. using a brass brush. C. using a chisel and hammer. D. running a mixture of sand and water through them.arrow_forward
- 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_forwardA vehicle comes in with no coolant and a core plug popped out of the engine block. Technician A states that the water pump is likely to be overpressurizing the system. Technician B states that the coolant may not have a low enough freezing point. Who is correct? Select one: a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both Technicians A andB d. Neither Technician A nor Barrow_forwardA vehicle is having its water pump replaced. When the water pump is removed, severe corrosion is found on the water pump impeller, and inside the engine. Technician A states that the radiator cap may be overpressurizing the system. Technician B states that the vehicle may have been run with 100% water in the cooling system for some time. Who is correct? Select one: a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c.

- All of the following are true statements about flushing an A/C system after a compressor failure, except The condenser must be flushed and the receiver/ dryer replaced. Filter screens are sometimes located in the suction side of the compressor and in the receiver/dryer. These screens confine foreign material to the compressor, condenser, receiver/dryer, and connecting hoses. Use only CFCs for flushing. After the system has been flushed, be sure to oil all components that require it. Some manufacturers recommend replacing the clogged components and installing a liquid line (inline) filter just ahead of the expansion valve or orifice tube instead of flushing the system.arrow_forwardWhich 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_forwardA 2 inch-diameter horizontal jet of water with a velocity of 20 ft/s relative to the ground strikes a flat plate that is attached to a car moving at a velocity of Ve. After it hits, the water splatters in all directions in the plane of the plate. Investigate the effect of the car velocity V. on the force exerted on the plate.arrow_forward

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…arrow_forward
