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 always has a lower pressure than a flooded one
A dry-expansion evaporator needs no expansion valve, a flooded one does
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)?


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

Nehéz

How is oil managed in R717 systems?


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

What should be done with contaminated R717?


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

5

Nehéz

What should be done if an NH₃ leak is detected?


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

6

Nehéz

What role do scrubbers play in NH₃ systems?


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

7

Nehéz

How should the system be prepared before filling with R717?


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

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)
Transport is not regulated
It can be carried in open containers
It can be carried without labelling

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
R717 mixes very well with the oil, which easily returns to the compressor
An oil return line cannot be used in R717 systems because the oil is too hot
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)

Which refrigerant can be detected with phenolphthalein paper?


R1270
R744

R717 is highly corrosive to:


aluminium
titanium
copper (and its alloys)
stainless steel

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


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

15

Nehéz

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


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

16

Nehéz

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


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

17

Nehéz

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


By increasing the condensing pressure
By unloading the cylinders or changing the rotational speed
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 changing the type of oil
By adjusting the oil level
By using a slide valve
By closing the suction valve

19

Nehéz

When is two-stage compression used in NH₃ systems?


At low evaporating temperatures (pressures) and high pressure ratios
Only with water-cooled condensers
Only in small systems
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
Operates without a fan
It does not require a water supply
It transfers heat only to the air

22

Nehéz

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


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

23

Nehéz

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


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

24

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


It monitors the liquid level in the tank or separator

A system with gravity-driven (natural) circulation of liquid refrigerant caused by density differences, used e.g. for screw compressor oil cooling

26

Nehéz

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


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

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 a direct system, there is no evaporator
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 an indirect system, NH₃ flows directly into the space being cooled
