Refrigerant Handling and AC Systems Quiz

1. Which of the following terms describes thermal energy transfer through direct contact between solid objects?

• Conduction

• Convection

• Radiation

The purpose of a Thermostatic expansion valve is to:

• control the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator

• increase the pressure of the refrigerant

• decrease the temperature of the refrigerant

• compress the refrigerant

Name 3 types of AC compressors.

• Reciprocating, Rotary, and Scroll

• Centrifugal, Axial, and Diagonal

• Piston, Screw, and Vane

• Hermetic, Semi-hermetic, and Open

A brief description of the operation of a compressor is:

• It increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume.

• It decreases the pressure of a gas by increasing its volume.

• It maintains the pressure of a gas without changing its volume.

• It changes the temperature of a gas without affecting its pressure.
