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


A dry-expansion evaporator needs no expansion valve, a flooded one does
A dry-expansion evaporator is filled with liquid, a flooded one with vapour
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)
A dry-expansion evaporator always has a lower pressure than a flooded one

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

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 has no effect on system operation
Oil requires no monitoring
Oil can be mixed with any refrigerant

4

What should be done with contaminated R717?


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

5

Nehéz

What should be done if an NH₃ leak is detected?


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)
Increase the pressure in the system
Carry on working wearing a dust mask

6

Nehéz

What role do scrubbers play in NH₃ systems?


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

7

Nehéz

How should the system be prepared before filling with R717?


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

8

Nehéz

What are the transport requirements for R717?


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

9

Nehéz

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


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)
R717 does not mix with the oil; the oil collects on the high-pressure side above the R717

R717 is highly corrosive to:


aluminium

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

16

Nehéz

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


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

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
By reducing the refrigerant charge
Solely by adjusting the oil volume

18

Nehéz

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


By adjusting the oil level
By using a slide valve
By changing the type of oil
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 in small systems
Only with water-cooled condensers
At small temperature differences

20

Nehéz

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


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

21

Nehéz

How does an evaporative condenser used in NH₃ systems work?


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

22

Nehéz

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


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

23

Nehéz

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


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

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


It monitors the liquid level in the tank or separator
It controls the fan’s operation

What is a thermosyphon in NH₃ systems?


A defrosting device

A type of safety valve
An oil circulation pump

26

Nehéz

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


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

27

Nehéz

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


Removing moisture from the system
To increase fan efficiency
To lower the condensation temperature

30

Nehéz

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


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