What is the main difference between a dry-expansion and a flooded evaporator?


A dry-expansion evaporator is filled with liquid, a flooded one with vapour
A dry-expansion evaporator needs no expansion valve, a flooded one does
A dry-expansion evaporator always has a lower pressure than a flooded one
In a dry-expansion evaporator the refrigerant completely evaporates and is superheated in the evaporator; in a flooded one part of the refrigerant remains liquid (incomplete evaporation, no superheat)

What is the typical pressure in the evaporator of an R717 deep-freeze system (below −40 °C)?


Atmospheric pressure, approx. 1 bar abs
Positive pressure of 5–10 bar
Below atmospheric (approx. 0.7 bar abs at −40 °C)
Positive pressure of 10–20 bar

Nehéz

How is oil managed in R717 systems?


Oil requires no monitoring
Oil can be mixed with any refrigerant
Oil has no effect on system operation
Oil collecting at the lowest points of vessels is regularly checked and drained, because it impairs heat transfer

4

Nehéz

What should be done with contaminated R717?


Continue to use it without restriction
Release it into the atmosphere
Dilute it with water and reuse it
Purify it or send it for disposal in accordance with regulations

5

Nehéz

What should be done if an NH₃ leak is detected?


Evacuate people immediately and raise the alarm; stop the leak only if it is safe to do so and with suitable PPE (respiratory protection)
Carry on working with the room door open
Carry on working wearing a dust mask
Increase the pressure in the system

6

Nehéz

What role do scrubbers play in NH₃ systems?


They store the refrigerant
They increase the pressure in the system
Neutralise ammonia through absorption in a liquid (e.g. water)
They are used to measure temperature

7

Nehéz

How should the system be prepared before filling with R717?


Simply start it up
Check for leaks, remove air and moisture, and create a vacuum
The pressure must be increased above the standard level
There is no need to check it

8

Nehéz

What are the transport requirements for R717?


It must be carried in suitable, labelled packagings in accordance with ADR (UN 1005, class 2, code 2TC)
It can be carried in open containers
Transport is not regulated
It can be carried without labelling

9

Nehéz

Which statement best describes the behaviour of R717 and mineral compressor oil?


R717 does not mix with the oil; the oil collects on the high-pressure side above the R717
An oil return line cannot be used in R717 systems because the oil is too hot
R717 mixes very well with the oil, which easily returns to the compressor
R717 does not mix with the oil; the oil, being heavier than liquid NH₃, collects beneath it at the lowest points (mainly on the low-pressure side)

10

Nehéz

Which refrigerant can be detected with phenolphthalein paper?


R744
R1270
R717

11

Which system may require manual oil recovery?


Supercritical ‘booster’ system using R744

Secondary system using R744
An R717 system

12

R717 is highly corrosive to:


stainless steel
copper (and its alloys)
aluminium
titanium

14

Nehéz

What is the recommended pre-alarm level for fixed leak detection systems for R717?


50,000 ppm
5,000 ppm
500 ppm
500,000 ppm

15

Nehéz

Why are compressors with a separate motor (open type) mostly used in R717 systems?


To lower the condensing pressure
Because NH₃ attacks copper motor windings, so hermetic compressors with conventional windings are not used
Because they are cheaper
To increase the refrigerant charge

16

Nehéz

Which type of compressor is most commonly used in large ammonia systems?


Rotary vane compressor
Diaphragm compressor
A reciprocating or screw compressor
Hermetic scroll

17

Nehéz

How is the capacity of a piston compressor regulated in NH₃ systems?


By unloading the cylinders or changing the rotational speed
By increasing the condensing pressure
Solely by adjusting the oil volume
By reducing the refrigerant charge

18

Nehéz

How is the capacity of a screw compressor most commonly controlled?


By using a slide valve
By closing the suction valve
By changing the type of oil
By adjusting the oil level

19

Nehéz

When is two-stage compression used in NH₃ systems?


Only in small systems
At low evaporating temperatures (pressures) and high pressure ratios
Only with water-cooled condensers
At small temperature differences

20

Nehéz

What is the advantage of two-stage compression over single-stage compression?


Higher efficiency and lower discharge temperature
Lower efficiency
No need for a separator
Higher energy consumption

21

Nehéz

How does an evaporative condenser used in NH₃ systems work?


It utilises the evaporation of water to increase cooling efficiency
It does not require a water supply
It transfers heat only to the air
Operates without a fan

22

Nehéz

What is the function of the liquid separator in an NH₃ system?


It separates oil from the refrigerant
It prevents liquid from entering the compressor
Increases the discharge temperature
Regulates the condensing pressure

23

Nehéz

What is the purpose of monitoring the liquid level in the separator?


To control the condenser fan
To maintain the correct refrigerant level and prevent the compressor from flooding
To increase the oil volume
To reduce the condensing temperature

24

Nehéz

What is the role of the float switch in NH₃ systems?


It is used to detect leaks
It monitors the liquid level in the tank or separator
It regulates the condensation temperature
It controls the fan’s operation

25

Nehéz

What is a thermosyphon in NH₃ systems?


A system with gravity-driven (natural) circulation of liquid refrigerant caused by density differences, used e.g. for screw compressor oil cooling
An oil circulation pump
A defrosting device
A type of safety valve

26

Nehéz

Why are oils that are immiscible with the refrigerant used in NH₃ systems?


To reduce the pressure
Because the oil mixes only with water
To increase the amount of refrigerant
Because NH₃ does not mix with most compressor oils

27

Nehéz

What is the main function of an oil separator in NH₃ systems?


To separate the oil from the refrigerant and return the oil to the compressor

30

Nehéz

What is the main difference between a direct and an indirect system?


In an indirect system, NH₃ flows directly into the space being cooled
In an indirect system, NH₃ cools an intermediate medium (e.g. glycol), which in turn cools the load
In an indirect system, no compressor is used
In a direct system, there is no evaporator
