Unit 14 Quiz Flashcards
Wired in parallel with the cooling contacts and is energized during the off cycle.
Cold anticipator
High and low pressure controls built in one housing.
Dual pressure controls
Mercury rapidly makes or breaks the electrical current flow.
Snap or detent action
Stationary part of the valve that the movable part comes in contact with to stop the flow of fluids.
Valve seat
Point or pressure setting at which the electrical circuit is made.
Cut-in
Liquid and vapor states of matter.
Fluid
Bimetal device used to sense fast moving air streams in duct work and furnace heat exchangers.
Snap disc
Requires large diaphragms to sense very low pressures in air systems. Used in air duct to sense blower air before heat is activated.
Air pressure control
Detects presence of gas pressure in gas burning equipment before burners are allowed to ignite.
Gas pressure switch
Normally regulates other controls and does not carry much current (2A max).
Low voltage thermostat
Device used to detect temperature.
Temperature sensor
Safety device used on boilers to release excess pressure.
Boiler relief valve
Device used to control the temperature of a space.
Space heat/cool thermostat
Used to start or stop electrical loads such as motors.
Pressure switch
A Thermostat that monitors motor temperature and shuts it off so it will not overheat.
Motor temperature sensing thermostat
Bimetal formed into a specific shape that provides longer travel when heated.
Helix coil
Heavy duty but not as sensitive or as fast acting as low voltage type when larger current carrying capacities are needed.
Line voltage thermostat
Glass bulb containing a small amount of mercury and electrical contacts used to make or break the electrical circuit in a low voltage thermostat.
Mercury bulb
Customer said the air conditioner doesn’t come on when she turns the switch on the thermostat to the ON position. You check to see if the thermostat is getting power from the transformer by pulling the face plate off the subbed and place your meter test probes on what terminals?
Terminals “R” and “C”
True or false: An air pressure control can be used to initiate a defrost cycle on the outdoor coil of a heat pump.
True
