    Loose or dirty connection on a fan motor can cause ___.

    • Voltage drop

    • Faster speed

    • Voltage increase

    • Both B and C

    Correct Answer
    A. Voltage drop
    Explanation
    A loose or dirty connection on a fan motor can cause a voltage drop. This is because a loose or dirty connection can create resistance in the circuit, leading to a decrease in the voltage supplied to the fan motor. As a result, the fan motor may not receive enough voltage to operate at its intended speed or power, causing a drop in voltage.

    Heat may be transferred from one body to another by ___.

    • Radiation

    • Conduction

    • Convection

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Heat can be transferred from one body to another by radiation, conduction, and convection. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, such as heat from the sun reaching the Earth. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between two objects, for example, when you touch a hot stove. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids or gases, like the circulation of warm air in a room. Therefore, all three methods can be used to transfer heat between bodies.

    Which of the following is NOT part of the low side of the system?

    • Accumulator

    • Evaporator

    • Receiver

    • Suction line

    Correct Answer
    A. Receiver
    Explanation
    The receiver is not part of the low side of the system. In a refrigeration system, the low side refers to the portion of the system where the refrigerant is in its vapor form and at a lower pressure. The accumulator, evaporator, and suction line are all components of the low side as they are involved in the vaporization and cooling process. The receiver, on the other hand, is part of the high side of the system and is responsible for storing and releasing liquid refrigerant.

    The device that changes liquid to vapor is called?

    • Compressor

    • Condenser

    • Evaporator

    • Metering device

    Correct Answer
    A. Evaporator
    Explanation
    The device that changes liquid to vapor is called an evaporator. This device is commonly used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. It works by absorbing heat from the surroundings, causing the liquid refrigerant to evaporate and turn into a gas. This phase change allows the evaporator to cool the surrounding environment.
