Which alternative replacement for R–502 is a patented azeotrope?
- A.
R–507
- B.
R–409A
- C.
R–404A
- D.
R–402A
Correct Answer
A. R–507Explanation
R-507 is a patented azeotrope that can be used as an alternative replacement for R-502. Azeotropes are mixtures of two or more substances that behave like a single substance, meaning they have a constant boiling point and composition. R-507 is a blend of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) that has been specifically formulated to mimic the properties of R-502, making it a suitable replacement for this refrigerant.Rate this question:

You are retrofitting a system that does not have a receiver. To do the job properly, you would store the refrigerant in
- A.
A recovery cylinder
- B.
The compressor
- C.
The condenser
- D.
The evaporator
Correct Answer
A. A recovery cylinderExplanation
When retrofitting a system that does not have a receiver, it is important to store the refrigerant in a recovery cylinder. This is because a recovery cylinder is designed specifically for storing refrigerants safely and securely. It allows for proper containment and disposal of the refrigerant during the retrofitting process. Storing the refrigerant in the compressor, condenser, or evaporator would not be appropriate or safe in this situation.Rate this question:

When polyolester oil is used in place of mineral oil during a retrofit procedure, you must make sure that less than what percent of mineral oil can remain in the system?
- A.
5
- B.
4
- C.
3
- D.
2
Correct Answer
A. 5Explanation
During a retrofit procedure, when polyolester oil is used instead of mineral oil, it is important to ensure that less than 5% of mineral oil remains in the system. This is because the two types of oil are not compatible and can cause issues if they mix. Therefore, it is necessary to thoroughly flush the system and remove as much mineral oil as possible to avoid any potential problems.Rate this question:

You are retrofitting a system with an alternative refrigerant and you determine that the capillary tube must be replaced. To do the job correctly, you would replace the capillary tube with one having
- A.
Greater resistance and shorter length
- B.
Lesser resistance and shorter length
- C.
Greater resistance and longer length
- D.
Lesser resistance and longer length
Correct Answer
C. Greater resistance and longer lengthExplanation
To retrofit a system with an alternative refrigerant, replacing the capillary tube with one having greater resistance and longer length is the correct approach. This is because the alternative refrigerant may have different flow characteristics compared to the original refrigerant. By increasing the resistance and length of the capillary tube, it helps to regulate and control the flow of the refrigerant, ensuring proper cooling and system performance.Rate this question:
