Chapter 55, Problem 9ASRQ
Two 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

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?

- Which 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_forwardWhile 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_forward2.A. You can usually check for a leak in a vacuum system by looking at or feelingA. at the exhaust of the vacuum pump.B. at the vacuum gauge at the vacuum pump.C. for signs of dirt on the piping. 2.B. When you measure the voltage drop across a set of contacts, you'reA. checking the quality of the contact set.B. sensing how much current is flowing in the circuit.C. measuring the equivalent motor resistance. 2.C. A chain-drive system can be aligned easier than a belt-drive system since the chain-drive systemA. can have a string left on the sprockets after the alignment is complete.B. can have the chain removed while the final alignment is taking place.C. is less critical to misalignment.arrow_forward
- 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_forwardQuestion1. If an air conditioning system has three independent zones, how many space thermostats will the system have? Question 2. A technician is traversing a duct and obtains the following 8 velocity: 500fpm, 400fpm, 375fpm,625fpm,275fpm,360fpm,450fpm,and 575fpm. What is the velocity value that can be used for the system calculations?arrow_forwardThe A/C compressor cycles rapidly, and air coming from the vents is only slightly cool. Technician A says the problem could be a low refrigerant charge. Technician B says the problem could be a defective thermostatic switch. Who is right? Group of answer choices Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor B PreviousNextarrow_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_forwardTechnician A says that the presence of oil around a fitting of an air-conditioning line may indicate an oil leak but not a refrigerant leak. Technician B says that using an electronic leak detector is the best way to find the source of a refrigerant leak. Who is correct? Technician A only Technician B only Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardOn the low-pressure side of a double diaphragm seal system, the transmitter measures a pressure of 108 in. WC when the tank is empty. Which process should you apply before measuring on the high-pressure side? Low water level cutoff Ratholing Zero suppression Blowdownarrow_forward
- 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?
