The correct method is to test the entire system at the design pressure of its components to ensure it can withstand normal operating conditions.

Submit
4. When replacing a shaft seal on an inline booster, what component is removed first?

Explanation

When replacing a shaft seal on an inline booster, the motor is typically removed first to access the shaft seal for replacement.

Submit
5. What components are removed when replacing a seal on a close-coupled, end suction pump?

Explanation

When replacing a seal on a close-coupled, end suction pump, the impeller and pump assembly need to be removed, not the motor & coupling bracket, coupling bracket and pump volute, or pump volute and impeller.

Submit
6. Pipe supports must be located within what distance of a change of pipe direction?

Explanation

The correct distance for pipe supports to be located within a change of pipe direction is 2ft to ensure proper support and stability.

Submit
7. When sizing an exhaust fan for a building, what should be considered?

Explanation

When sizing an exhaust fan, factors such as makeup air units, building space pressurization, and gas-fired appliances must be taken into account to ensure proper ventilation and safety within the building.

Submit
8. Which of the following is an azeotrope refrigerant?

Explanation

In refrigeration, an azeotrope is a mixture of components that act as a single fluid with constant boiling and condensation temperatures. A binary blend with similar pressure temperature characteristics is an example of an azeotrope refrigerant.

Submit
9. Which type of refrigerant will have a tendency of fractionate when vapour charging?

Explanation

Fractionation is the process of separating different components of the refrigerant blend. In the case of vapor charging, ternary blend refrigerants are more likely to fractionate due to differences in volatility of the components.

Submit
10. A technician changes the valve plate on a compressor because the system will not pull down to temperature. Upon completion of the repair and charging of the system, the system operation still does not pull down to temperature. What is the problem?

Explanation

The issue lies in the fact that the system is vapour charged with a Zeotrope refrigerant, which can be two or more refrigerants mixed together. This mixture may have different boiling points, leading to improper functioning of the system.

Submit
11. What is the correct procedure for storing recovery cylinders?

Explanation

When storing recovery cylinders, it is important to follow the correct procedure by ensuring they are secured, the caps are in place, they are stored vertically, and the temperature is below 125F to prevent any safety hazards or damage.

Submit
12. When is a di-electric union used?

Explanation

A di-electric union is used to join two different metals, specifically brass to black iron, to prevent galvanic corrosion.

Submit
13. What is the refrigerant mass flow rate in LB/min, of a 15-ton system, having an NRE of 56 BTU/LB?

Explanation

To calculate the refrigerant mass flow rate, we first determine the constant number which is 200 BTU/min/ton. Next, we calculate 200/56 to get 3.57. Multiplying this by the 15 tons of the system gives us 53.57 LB/min. Therefore, the correct answer is d) 53.6 LB/min.

Submit
14. Chilled water coils have the following configuration:

Explanation

Chilled water coils typically have the cool water entering from the bottom and the warm water leaving from the top to maximize heat exchange efficiency.

Submit
15. What is the correct configuration for a heat pump reversing valve?

Explanation

The correct configuration for a heat pump reversing valve is to have the pilot on top and the main valve in a horizontal position, allowing for proper functionality.

Submit
16. Where will a closed loop water system typically have a chemical pot located?

Explanation

In a closed loop water system, a chemical pot is usually located on the system supply to introduce chemicals into the system.

Submit
17. A 20" x 12" rectangular duct has a measured air velocity of 360 ft/min. Calculate the air flow:

Explanation

240/144 sq.ft. x 360 = 600.

Submit
18. Where should the termination stat be located if a draw through unit cooler is still partially iced up after defrost has terminated?
Submit
19. A technician arrives at a service call and finds the heat pump blowing warm air indoors on a call for cooling. What must he do to find the problem?

Explanation

To troubleshoot the issue of a heat pump blowing warm air indoors on a call for cooling, the technician should block off the condenser and switch the thermostat from cooling to heating and back again to identify the problem accurately.

Submit
20. A technician measures the following conditions L1-L2=597 volts, L1-L3=606 volts, L2-L3=600 volts. Calculate the voltage unbalance:

Explanation

To calculate the voltage unbalance, we first find the average voltage by summing all the voltages and dividing by 3. The average voltage is (597 + 606 + 600) / 3 = 601 volts. Then, we find the difference between the highest and lowest voltages, which is 606 - 601 = 5 volts. Finally, we divide the difference by the average voltage: 5 / 601 ≈ 0.0083 or 0.83%. Therefore, the correct answer is b) 0.8%.

Submit
21. A pneumatic controlled heating valve is in the full open position. What is the cause?

Explanation

A pneumatic controlled heating valve being in the full open position typically indicates that the valve diaphragm has ruptured, causing the valve to remain fully open.

Submit
22. What is the preferred method of odor removal?

Explanation

Carbon filters are commonly used for removing odors because they can effectively trap and neutralize odor-causing particles and gases.

Submit
23. Why are compressor contactor contacts chattering?

Explanation

When compressor contactor contacts are chattering, it indicates that the 24 volt circuit is drawing too much current for the transformer. In this case, option a) is the correct answer as drawing 6 amps with a 100 VA transformer is causing the issue.

Submit
24. A technician arrives at site and finds unit off on high pressure. What is the problem?

Explanation

The increase in high pressure after conversion from R-22 to R-407C is a common issue due to the differences in operating characteristics of these refrigerants.

Submit
25. In a draw-through system, if the pressure measured in the inlet of a fan is -0.25", what is the required depth of the condensate trap?

Explanation

In a draw-through system, to prevent backflow of condensate from the trap when the fan stops, the depth of the trap should be greater than the measured negative pressure. In this case, since the pressure is -0.25", the required depth of the condensate trap should be 0.30".

Submit
26. A 4" x 22' sleeve through a wall will hold how many 11/8" pipes having 1/2" insulation if there is required to be a 25 mm space between each insulated pipe? How many pipes will fit through the pipe cover?

Explanation

To calculate the number of pipes that will fit through the pipe cover, we first determine how much space each pipe takes up. Each 11/8" pipe with 1/2" of insulation will take up 3.125" of space. Considering the 25 mm space between each pipe, which is approximately 0.984", we divide the total length of the sleeve (22') by the combined space occupied by each pipe (3.125") plus the additional space (0.984") to get 7.04. Therefore, the correct answer is 7, as you can only have a whole number of pipes.

Submit
27. What is the velocity of the air flowing through the duct work?

Explanation

4005 x 0.03^2 (velocity pressure) = 680.68 ft/min

Submit
28. What is the cfm of the air across the coil?

Explanation

The correct way to calculate the cfm of the air across the coil is by multiplying the length and width. In this case, the calculation is 6 x 4 = 24, which results in 16,649ft3/min.

Submit
29. What is the enthalpy of the air entering the coil?

Explanation

Enthalpy is a measure of the total energy of a thermodynamic system. In this case, the correct enthalpy of the air entering the coil is 28.1 btu/lb. Option a) 22.7 btu/lb, option b) 27.6 btu/lb, and option d) 30.2 btu/lb are incorrect as they do not match the correct enthalpy value.

Submit
30. Where should the vapour barrier of a walk in cooler be located?

Explanation

The correct location for the vapour barrier in a walk-in cooler is between the outer wall and the insulation to prevent moisture from entering the insulation material.
