    • Too evaporate water from outside the compressor during rain

    • Too heat air and gas, too increase efficiency

    • A and B

    Correct Answer
    A. Too remove moisture and trap debris
    Explanation
    A filter drier serves two purposes: removing moisture and trapping debris. Moisture can be harmful to the system as it can cause corrosion and freeze-ups. The filter drier removes moisture from the refrigerant, ensuring the system operates efficiently. Additionally, the filter drier traps debris such as dirt, metal particles, and contaminants, preventing them from circulating through the system and causing damage to components like the compressor or expansion valve. By removing moisture and trapping debris, the filter drier helps maintain the performance and longevity of the HVAC system.

    What is the purpose of a breaker in an electrical circuit?

    • To route electrical currents

    • Overload protection

    • All of the above

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Overload protection
    Explanation
    A breaker in an electrical circuit serves the purpose of overload protection. It is designed to automatically interrupt the flow of electrical current when it exceeds the safe limit. This helps prevent damage to the circuit and appliances, as well as reducing the risk of electrical fires. By tripping the breaker, it effectively stops the flow of current and protects the circuit from overloading. Therefore, the correct answer is "Overload protection".

    After changing out an element on a water heater, you should always do what before turning the circuit breaker back on?

    • Fill out the warranty forms

    • Set the thermostat

    • Fill the tank with water

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Fill the tank with water
    Explanation
    After changing out an element on a water heater, you should always fill the tank with water before turning the circuit breaker back on. This is because the tank needs to be filled with water in order to prevent the heating element from burning out. If the tank is not filled with water, the heating element can overheat and become damaged. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the tank is filled with water before turning the circuit breaker back on to avoid any potential damage to the heating element.

    When charging, vapor should be added to the ____ side of the compressor.

    • High

    • Low

    • Liquid

    • Left

    Correct Answer
    A. Low
    Explanation
    When charging a refrigeration or air conditioning system, vapor should be added to the low side of the compressor. The low side, or suction side, is where the refrigerant enters the compressor as a low-pressure gas. Adding vapor to this side ensures proper system function and avoids potential damage to the compressor. Charging the system correctly is essential for maintaining efficient operation and preventing issues such as compressor overheating or liquid slugging, which can occur if liquid refrigerant enters the compressor.

    What is the best product to use to thin or clean up latex paint?

    • Varsal

    • Water

    • Paint thinner

    • Turpentine

    Correct Answer
    A. Water
    Explanation
    Water is the best product to use to thin or clean up latex paint. Latex paint is water-based, so using water to thin it or clean up any spills or brushes is the most effective and safe option. Varsal, paint thinner, and turpentine are all solvents that are typically used to thin or clean up oil-based paints, not latex paints. Using these solvents on latex paint can cause damage or produce undesirable results. Therefore, water is the recommended choice for thinning or cleaning up latex paint.
