EPA 608 (TYPE II) Exam Questions and Answers [Graded A+] When a new system has been assembled, the first thing to do is? ✔✔Pressurize the system with an inert gas & leak check. After installat ... ion of a field-piped R-410A split heat pulp, the unit should first be? ✔✔Pressurized with nitrogen then leak checked. The EPA regulations require that any appliances containing more than 50 pounds of refrigerant (except for commercial & industrial process refrigeration) must be repaired when the leak rate exceeds _________ of the charge per year? ✔✔15% R-410A requires recovery tanks rated for at least? ✔✔400 psig After refrigerant liquid has been recovered from a system, any remaining vapor is? ✔✔Condensed by the recovery system. Your recovery/recycling machine has R-502 refrigerant in it. You now have to recover refrigerant from a unit with R-22. What must be done before the R-22 refrigerant can be recovered/recycled? ✔✔Recover as much R-502 from the recovery unit as possible, change filter, & evacuate. In a refrigeration system with a TXV (or other type of throttling device), the component directly following the condenser is the? ✔✔Receiver When charging an R-410A system that uses a water-cooled condenser, you must first charge with vapor to a pressure of at least________, before switching to liquid charging. ✔✔120 psig Recovered refrigerant may contain what? ✔✔1.) Acids 2.) Moisture 3.) Oils Your recovery/recycling machine has R-22 refrigerant in it. You now have to recover refrigerant from a unit with R-410A. What must be done before your recovery unit can be used to recover R-410A? ✔✔1.) The recovery unit must be EPA certified for use with R-410A. 2.) The recovery tank must be designed for the pressure of R-410A. 3.) The filter & lubricant in the recovery unit must be changed, & the recovery unit evacuated. To recover liquid refrigerant, you must connect one hose to the? ✔✔Liquid Line. The proper charging method for blended (non-azeotropic) refrigerants (400 Series) is to use a remove the charge from the cylinder as a? ✔✔Liquid Before using a recovery unit to remove a charge, what steps should be taken? ✔✔1.) Check service valve positions. 2.) Check the oil level in the recovery unit. 3.) Evacuate recovery unit & recovery tank. On refrigeration units that use an open compressor; the ________ is most likely to leak if the unit is not used for several months. ✔✔The rotating shaft seal. Noncondensables in a system cause? ✔✔Higher discharge pressure. Heat Pumps that use R-410A should be leak checked with? ✔✔Pressurized Nitrogen. A reciprocating compressor should not be energized when? ✔✔The discharge service valve is closed. In a refrigeration system, the component directly following the evaporator is the? ✔✔Accumulator. Manifold gauge set hoses should have self-sealing connectors or hand valves to? ✔✔Minimize the release of refrigerant when the hoses are connected & disconnected. The EPA regulations require that leaking commercial or industrial process refrigeration equipment must be repaired when the leak rate exceeds _____ of the charge per year. ✔✔35% Moisture is removed from a system by? ✔✔Using a filter drier. Oil foaming usually occurs in the? ✔✔Compressor R-410A is different from other ASHRAE 400 series non-azeotropic blends because? ✔✔R-410A behaves as a near azeotropic refrigerant, & can be topped off. With an air-cooled condenser on the roof of a building & the evaporator on the first floor, recovery should first occur? ✔✔From the liquid line entering the evaporator. A deep vacuum is usually measured in? ✔✔Microns. Heat Pumps that use R-134A should be leak checked with? ✔✔Pressurized Nitrogen. During the evacuation of a system that contains large amounts of moisture it may be necessary to increase pressure in the system with ________, to counteract the freezing of the moisture. ✔✔Nitrogen. When under a deep vacuum, t [Show More]
