use a remove the charge from the cylinder as a? - Answer-Liquid
Before using a recovery unit to remove a charge, what steps should be taken? -
Answer-1.) Check service valve positions.
2.) Check the oil level in the recovery unit.
3.) Evacuate recovery unit & recovery tank.
On refrigeration units that use an open compressor; the ________ is most likely to leak
if the unit is not used for several months. - Answer-The rotating shaft seal.
Noncondensables in a system cause? - Answer-Higher discharge pressure.
Heat Pumps that use R-410A should be leak checked with? - Answer-Pressurized

Answer-35%
Moisture is removed from a system by? - Answer-Using a filter drier.
Oil foaming usually occurs in the? - Answer-Compressor
R-410A is different from other ASHRAE 400 series non-azeotropic blends because? -
Answer-R-410A behaves as a near azeotropic refrigerant, & can be topped off.
With an air-cooled condenser on the roof of a building & the evaporator on the first floor,
recovery should first occur? - Answer-From the liquid line entering the evaporator.
