45 degree
Tee fittings can cause a condition known as bullheading or:
Turbulence
Soldering is done at temperatures:
Below 800 degree F.
Brazing is done at temperatures:
Above 800 degree F.
The pressure-reducing regulator is set for no more than ________ must be used with acetylene.
15 psig
When adjusting the torch oxygen system the oxygen regulator turns clockwise until __________ and the acetylene regulator is adjusted to _________.
20 psig / 5 psig
What is the most common flame used for almost all fusion welding and brazing applications?
Neutral flame
Nitrogen flowing thru the tubing to keep all the oxygen / air out while being brazed is called?
Purging
The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water 1 degree F. is called ?
British thermal unit (BTU)
Heat that can be sensed by a thermometer is called?
Sensible heat
Heat energy that is absorbed or rejected when a sustance is changing state ( Solid to liquid) without change is called:
Latent heat
When all the liquid in the evaporator has fully converted to a vapor it is called:
Superheated
When all the gas has fully converted to a liquid in the condensing unit it is called:
Subcooling
What are the 3 different ways to move or transfer heat?
Conduction, convection, radiation
Every square inch of any surface at sea level or Atmospheric pressure is at:
14.7 psia
The absolute pressure scale is expressed as (PSI) starting from:
0
Guage pressures can easily be converted to absolute pressures by:
Adding 14.7 to the guage - pressure value.
Converts low pressure gas to a high temperature high pressure gas:
Compressor
Converts high temperature high pressure gas to a high pressure liquid (subcooling):
Condensor
Converts a high pressure liquid (subcooled) to a low pressure liquid:
Expansion Device or metering device
Converts low pressure liquid to a low pressure gas (superheated)
Evaporator
Temperature of the gas in the discharge line is ___________ higher than the outside air temperature.
20 to 30 degree
When subcooled liquid exits the condensing unit the liquid goes thru the:
Filter dryer
The Thermal expansion valve (TXV)
Regulates and maintains the superheat.
The optimum temperature inside the evaporator is:
40 degree F.
The condensor:
Rejects heat
The evaporator:
Absorbs heat
A mixture of __________________ is supplied from the metering device to the evaporator.
75% liquid / 25% gas
What is the color-coded cylinder for HFC 410A?
Pink or (Rose)
Welded hermetic compressors that are frequently used on appliances, room air conditioners, and central air conditioners below 5 tons are:
Rotary Compressors
Welded hermetic compressors that have the fewest working parts, a valve is used on the discharge line to prevent reverse rotation.
Scroll Compressors
The most common type of condenser is called:
Fin and tube condenser
They work on both the high pressure and low pressure sides:
Pressurestat
Ensure single direction flow. They prevent reverse flow.
Check valves
Four common leak detectors:
Electronic, ultrasonic, ultraviolet/fluorescent, liquid (bubble)
Systems with a partial charge must first be:
Recovered

After every 10 hours of use / Allways immediately after pumping down a wet or contaminated system.
A deep vacuum is a vacuum of:
500 microns or less (29.90 in. Hg)
A triple evacuation is a vacuum of:
1000 microns (29.88 in. Hg)
When charging a system with 410A the charging cylinder must be selected to:
Liquid
When recovering refrigerant you should not fill the recovery tank no more than:
80% = (CW x .8 + TW - refrigerant already in tank)
If a system has a fixed metering device it shall be charged by:
Superheat
If a system has a Thermal expansion device (TXV) it shall be charged by:
Subcooling
What is Target Superheat?
3 x WB - 80 - DB divided by 2
How do you get Subcooling?
Liquid line temperature - Liquid guage temperature
A range of temperatures in which a zeotrope refrigerant will evaporate and condense for a given pressure.
Temperature glide
If a leak in a system using a zeotrope refrigerant is repaired:
Recharge the system with new refrigerant.
What is actual Superheat?
Suction line temperature - Suction guage temperature
