The capacity of a cooling tower depends on the CORRECT ANSWERS Entering air wet
bulb temperature.
Wet bulb depression is the difference CORRECT ANSWERS between wet bulb and dry bulb temperatures.
Refrigerant in the suction light should be slightly superheated in order to CORRECT ANSWERS insure liquid refrigerant does not enter the compressor.

A disadvantage to the reciprocating compressor over other designs is CORRECT ANSWERS some refrigerant will always remain in the clearance space.
The flow switches of a chiller's control system CORRECT ANSWERS Allow refrigeration
system operation only when the water circulating pumps are energized
What is used to control the flow of water on a water-cooled condenser? CORRECT ANSWERS A water regulating valve
