Heatpump

What is the primary function of the compressor in a heat pump system?

• To absorb heat from the indoor air

• To filter particulates from the refrigerant

• To cool down the refrigerant

• To increase the pressure of the refrigerant

What does the condenser do in a heat pump system?

• Decreases the pressure of the refrigerant

• Absorbs heat from the indoor air

• Increases the pressure of the refrigerant

• Rejects heat and turns vapor into liquid

What is the purpose of the metering device in a heat pump system?

• To filter particulates from the refrigerant

• To absorb heat from the indoor air

• To decrease the pressure of the refrigerant

• To increase the pressure of the refrigerant

What is the role of the evaporator coil in a heat pump system?

• To filter particulates from the refrigerant

• To reject heat from the refrigerant

• To absorb heat into the refrigerant

• To increase the pressure of the refrigerant

What component shifts the heat pump from heating to cooling mode?

• The condenser

• The compressor

• The reversing valve

• The metering device

What is the purpose of the accumulator in a heat pump system?

• To increase the pressure of the refrigerant

• To reject heat from the refrigerant

• To protect the compressor from liquid refrigerant

• To decrease the pressure of the refrigerant

What does the liquid line filter dryer do?

• Absorbs heat from the indoor air

• Decreases the pressure of the refrigerant

• Catches particulates and dries out moisture

• Increases the pressure of the refrigerant

What is the function of the service valves in a heat pump system?

• To isolate the outdoor unit for service

• To absorb heat from the indoor air

• To increase the pressure of the refrigerant

• To filter particulates from the refrigerant

What is the purpose of the suction line filter dryer, although not commonly installed in residential applications?

• To catch particulates and possibly installed after a service repair

• To increase the pressure of the refrigerant

• To absorb heat from the indoor air

• To reject heat from the refrigerant

What is the primary role of the air handler or fan coil in a split system heat pump?

• To serve as the indoor unit

• To increase the pressure of the refrigerant

• To reject heat from the refrigerant

• To decrease the pressure of the refrigerant
