Question #3

Which of the following substances is normally classified as a low pressure refrigerant?

Answer (B): R-123

R-123 is classified as a low-pressure refrigerant due to its boiling point and operating pressures, which remain below atmospheric pressure at normal ambient conditions, requiring specialized purge units on chillers.

Question #4

R-134a is often the replacement for which older type of refrigerant?

Answer (A): R-12

R-134a serves as the hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) retrofitted replacement for R-12, an older chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) phased out due to its high ozone depletion potential under EPA and international environmental treaties.

Question #6

What is the color coding for a storage container of R-134a refrigerant?

Answer (C): light blue

Industry standards mandate that R-134a refrigerant recovery cylinders and storage containers feature a distinct light blue color code to prevent cross-contamination with other refrigerants.

Question #8

If you mistakenly change from a lower pour point lubricant to a higher pour point lubricant in a refrigeration system, what will be the result?

Answer (B): oil may congeal in the evaporator

A higher pour point lubricant thickens or solidifies at warmer temperatures. If introduced into an evaporator, the oil congeals under low-temperature conditions, severely impairing heat transfer and blocking refrigerant flow.

Question #9

Properties of a good refrigeration compressor lubricating oil include which of the following?

Answer (A): low wax content

Quality refrigeration compressor oils must maintain a low wax content to prevent wax separation and subsequent expansion valve or capillary tube clogging at cryogenic evaporator temperatures.

Question #12

The gas that exists in the stratosphere forming a protective shield that helps to protect the environment from the harmful effects ultraviolet radiation is called what?

Answer (D): ozone

Stratospheric ozone forms a vital protective layer that absorbs harmful ultraviolet (UV-B) radiation from the sun, making the release of ozone-depleting refrigerants a critical environmental hazard.
