What does a purge unit do and what is a high efficiency purge unit?
a. Removes the refrigerant from the system. High efficiency purge system
will expel large quantities of refrigerant
b. Removes the refrigerant from the system. High efficiency purge system
will expel very little refrigerant
c. Removes the oil from the system. High efficiency purge system will expel
very little refrigerant
d. Removes the air from the system. High efficiency purge system will
expel very little refrigerant - Answer-d. Removes the air from the system. High efficiency
purge system will
expel very little refrigerant
, How does a centrifugal compressor purge unit work?
a. Takes its suction from the top of the evaporator, removes the air from the
system, and returns the refrigerant to the evaporator
b. Takes its suction from the top of the chiller barrel, removes the air from the
system, and returns the refrigerant to the evaporator
c. Takes its suction from the top of the compressor suction, removes the air
from the system, and returns the refrigerant to the evaporator
d. Takes its suction from the top of the condenser, removes the air
from the system, and returns the refrigerant to the evaporator - Answer-d. Takes its
suction from the top of the condenser, removes the air
from the system, and returns the refrigerant to the evaporator
What are visible ways to check for leaks in a low pressure system?
a. Excessive running of a purge system.
b. Continuous excessive moisture in the purge unit could indicate a leak in
