Why is ammonia (NH₃) considered a toxic refrigerant?


It is flammable and can form explosive mixtures with air
It is colourless and odourless, so it is difficult to detect
It does not react with water, which makes it difficult to neutralise
It is highly irritating to the respiratory tract and toxic if inhaled

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


A dry evaporator does not require an expansion valve, whereas a flooded one does
A dry evaporator is filled with refrigerant liquid, whilst a flooded evaporator is filled with gas
A dry evaporator has a lower operating pressure than a flooded one
A dry evaporator allows the entire refrigerant to evaporate in the pipe upstream of the compressor; in a flooded evaporator, part of the refrigerant remains in a liquid state within the evaporator

16

Nehéz

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


R717 mixes very well with compressor oil and easily returns to the compressor
R717 does not mix with compressor oil, so the oil remains in the system on the high-pressure side as a layer above the R717
R717 does not mix with compressor oil, so the oil remains in the system on the low-pressure side as a layer beneath the R717
In an R717 system, a return oil line cannot be used because the oil is too hot
