TPC 431 Flashcards
REFRIGERATION IS THE PROCESS OF _______ THE AIR IN A DEFINED SPACE
LOWERING THE TEMPERATURE OF
THE TEMP. OF A MATERIAL DECREASES IF THE MATERIAL _______AND NOTHING ELSE HAPPENS THAT WOULD HAVE THE OPPOSITE EFFECT
CONTACTS A COOLER MATERIAL
THE 2 KINDS OF AIR CONDITIONING ARE
COMFORT AND PROCESS
ONE OF THE PHYSICAL STATES OF MATTER IS
GAS
YOU CAN CAUSE MATTER TO CHANGE ITS PHYSICAL STATE BY
ADDING OR REMOVING HEAT
THERMAL ENERGY THAT IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE TEMPERATURE OF A MATERIAL IS CALLED _________ HEAT.
SENSIBLE
A TEMPERATURE OF 45 IS ABOUT THE SAME AS ________C
7
HEAT CAN BE TRANSFERRED FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER BY THE PROCESS OF
CONDUCTION
THE LATENT HEAT OF VAPORIZATION OF A SUBSTANCE IS THE AMOUNT OF HEAT THE SUBSTANCE ABSORBS AS IT
EVAPORATES
A REFRIGERATION SYSTEM HAS BEEN TURNED OFF FOR SEVERAL DAYS. IT CONTAINS BOTH LIQUID REFRIGERANT AND VAPOR. SUDDENLY A LINE CONTAINING THE REFRIGERANT BREAKS. WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE THE SYSTEM
THE LIQUID REFRIGERANT BOILS
FROM THE COMPRESSOR REFRIGERANT FLOWS TO THE
CONDENSOR
THE GRAPH BELOW IS THE PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE CHART FOR A REFRIGERANT. POINT ___REPRESENTS A CONDITION OF SUPERHEATING
1
COMPARED TO A DRY-EXPANSION EVAPORATOR A FLOODED EVAPORATOR OF THE SAME SIZE
IS MORE EFFICIENT
THE PURPOSE OF A COOLING MEDIUM IS TO
REMOVE HEAT FROM COMPRESSED REFRIGERANT VAPOR
AN AUTO EXPANSION VALVE IS A METERING DEVICE THAT MAINTAINS A CONSTANT PRESSURE IN THE
EVAPORATOR
