Q

True or false: Compressor discharge pressure subtracted from the oil pump outlet pressure equals net oil pressure. (Crankcase)

A

False

25
Q

True or false: The correct way to get good contact when mounting a sensing bulb to a suction line is to clean the surface of oxidation with sand cloth or a wire brush and then mount the bulb using a metal strap and then insulate from the ambient air.

A

True

A

True

27
Q
