Questions and Answers

What must the refrigeration plant's load always equal?

  • The compressor capacity
  • The temperature of the refrigerated medium
  • The cooling load (correct)
  • The mass of refrigerant circulated per unit time

What will happen if the plant operates at full capacity when the load is low?

  • The compressor capacity will tie up party
  • The system capacity control will influence the amount of refrigerant
  • The temperature of the refrigerated medium will rise above the set point (correct)
  • The mass of refrigerant circulated per unit time will drop

What is used to directly adjust the compressor capacity?

  • A control system that can directly adjust compressor capacity (correct)
  • A thermostat with a bimetal or filled system thermal sensing element
  • A control system that regulates evaporator capacity
  • A control system that responds to temperature, pressure, and humidity
