    A. 500 to 300 microns
    Explanation
    The technician valves off the vacuum pump when evacuating to a deep vacuum within the pressure range of 500 to 300 microns. This means that the pressure inside the system should be between 500 and 300 microns for the technician to stop the evacuation process. This range ensures that the system reaches a sufficiently low pressure for optimal performance.

    When soldering, the technician should heat the solder with the torch to allow it to melt.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    When soldering, the technician should heat the solder with a soldering iron, not a torch, to allow it to melt. Using a torch can generate excessive heat and damage the components being soldered. A soldering iron provides controlled and precise heat for melting the solder and forming a proper bond.

    Noncondensable gases ______.

    • Are desirable in a refrigeration system

    • Are undesirable in a refrigeration system

    • Condense readily under normal atmospheric conditions

    • Help in pulling a vacuum

    Correct Answer
    A. Are undesirable in a refrigeration system
    Explanation
    Noncondensable gases are undesirable in a refrigeration system because they can cause a decrease in system efficiency and performance. These gases, such as air or nitrogen, do not condense into a liquid state like the refrigerant, and instead remain in a gaseous form. This can lead to the formation of air pockets or bubbles in the system, which can hinder heat transfer and reduce the cooling capacity. Additionally, noncondensable gases can increase the pressure in the system, resulting in higher energy consumption and potential damage to the components. Therefore, it is important to remove these gases from the refrigeration system to ensure optimal operation.

    If a technician needed 5/8" ACR for an installation and was located near only a plumbing supply house, what size and type of pipe should he ask for?

    • 5/8" ACR

    • 1/2" PVC

    • 1/2" ID Copper

    • 5/8" PVC

    Correct Answer
    A. 1/2" ID Copper
    Explanation
    The technician should ask for 1/2" ID Copper pipe because it is the only option that matches the required size of 5/8" ACR. The other options, 1/2" PVC and 5/8" PVC, do not match the required size.

    For cleaning ACR copper tubing before soldering, a material that can be used is _____.

    • Steel wool

    • Carborundum cloth

    • Sand cloth

    • Nylon cloth

    Correct Answer
    A. Sand cloth
    Explanation
    Sand cloth is a material that can be used for cleaning ACR copper tubing before soldering. It is abrasive and can effectively remove dirt, oxidation, and other contaminants from the surface of the tubing. This helps to ensure a clean and smooth surface, which is essential for achieving a strong and reliable solder joint. Sand cloth is commonly used in plumbing and HVAC applications for preparing copper tubing before soldering.
