increasing the movement
lowering the temperature
D
The temperature of a material decreases if the material ___ and nothing else happens that would have the opposite effect
condenses
contacts a cooler material
contacts a warmer material
freezes
B
The two kinds of air conditioning are
comfort and process
commercial and industrial
heat transfer and change of state
temp. and humidity
A
One of the physical states of matter is
atom
element

C
You can cause matter to change its physical state by
adding or removing heat
allowing it to age
chemically altering it
separating its atoms
A

A
Heat can be transferred from one place to another by the process of
change of state
conduction
diffusion
insulation
B
The latent heat of vaporization of a substance is the amount of heat the substances absorbs as it
condenses
evaporates
freezes
melts
B
A line containing the refrigerant breaks, what happens inside the system?
nothing
the liquid refrigerant boils
the pressure increases
the refrigerant gets warmer
B
From the compressor, refrigerant flows to the
condenser
evaporator
metering device
reservoir

A
Compared to a dry expansion evaporator, a flooded evaporator of the same size
contains no vapor
is more efficient
leaks refrigerant
requires no metering device
B
The purpose of a cooling medium is to
absorb excess refrigerant vapor
condense the water vapor in moist air
remove heat from compressed refrigerant vapor
C
An automatic expansion valve is a metering device that maintains a constant pressure in the
compressor
condenser
evaporator
surge drum
C
The properties of air that are important in psychrometric include
enthalpy
odor
oxygen content
velocity
A
Wet bulb temp is usually lower than the dry bulb. if the difference is small the air is
cool
dry
humid
warm
C
Air that is saturated is air that is at the
desired temperature
dewpoint temperature
lowest possible relative humidity
optimum oxygen content
B
Relative humidity changes if the ___ changes but the specific humidity does not
barometric pressure
dewpoint temperature
dry bulb temperature
weight of dry air
C
To calculate the enthalpy of a sample of air, you must include
latent heat of the air
latent heat of the water vapor
relative humidity of the air
specific humidity of the air
B
