What is the main purpose of a chiller?

• To generate electricity.

• To remove heat and provide cooling.

• To store heat for later use.

• To increase humidity in the air.

How does a chiller cool water?

• A chiller cools water by using a refrigerant to absorb heat from the water and release it outside.

• A chiller cools water by mixing it with ice.

• A chiller cools water by heating it with steam.

• A chiller cools water by using fans to blow cold air over it.

What is a common problem that can occur with chillers?

• Low refrigerant levels

• Frequent cycling on and off

• High energy consumption

• Excessive noise levels

Why is regular maintenance important for chillers?

• Regular maintenance is important for chillers to ensure optimal performance, enhance energy efficiency, prevent breakdowns, and extend equipment lifespan.

• Chillers only need maintenance when they are not functioning at all.

• Regular maintenance is unnecessary for chillers as they are self-sustaining.

• Regular maintenance is only important for heating systems, not chillers.

What should you check first if a chiller is not cooling?

• Air filter cleanliness

• Thermostat settings

• Refrigerant levels

• Compressor functionality

How can you identify a refrigerant leak?

• Frequent power outages

• Increased humidity levels

• Unusual odors from the unit

• Signs of hissing sounds, ice buildup, decreased cooling efficiency, or using leak detection tools.

What tools are needed to fix a refrigerant leak?

• Paintbrush

• Leak detection tool, wrenches, soldering equipment, vacuum pump, refrigerant recovery machine

• Screwdriver set

• Hammer

What is the role of the compressor in a chiller?

• The compressor circulates water through the chiller system.

• The compressor compresses the refrigerant gas to increase its pressure and temperature, enabling heat absorption.

• The compressor cools the refrigerant to lower its pressure and temperature.

• The compressor filters impurities from the refrigerant gas.

What electrical component helps control the chiller's operation?

• Condenser

• Compressor

• Thermostat

• Evaporator

How can you evaluate the performance of a chiller?

• Check the chiller's color and design

• Measure the noise level of the chiller

• Inspect the chiller's exterior for scratches

• Evaluate the chiller's COP, EER, cooling capacity, and maintenance records.
