Use this free practice quiz with 20 questions to review 5 Chiller Service Practice and Verification, test your knowledge, and prepare for your next test or exam.
True or false: The 25 mm Hg absolute recovery level listed for low-pressure appliances is a universal target for every chiller.
- A
True
- B
False
Which statement correctly distinguishes refrigerant recovery from dehydration evacuation?
- A
Recovery removes air and moisture before charging; dehydration transfers refrigerant into a cylinder.
- B
Recovery removes refrigerant into approved equipment; dehydration removes air and moisture from a repaired circuit before charging.
- C
Recovery and dehydration are two names for reaching the same vacuum target.
- D
Recovery checks for leaks; dehydration is the process of isolating electrical energy.
Two instruments give conflicting pressure readings during service. Which response best supports a valid comparison?
- A
Choose whichever gauge reads lower and use that value.
- B
Check instrument range, calibration status, connection location, and whether each reading is gauge or absolute pressure; record the units.
- C
Convert both readings to a dehydration target, regardless of the job.
- D
Ignore the units if both instruments are connected to the same chiller.
After service and reassembly, what should happen before energy is restored to the chiller?
- A
Restore energy as soon as the circuit is reassembled, even if tools remain nearby.
- B
Verify personnel and tools are clear, then restore energy and follow the manufacturer’s charging and startup procedure.
- C
Restore energy before reassembly so the technician can check the open circuit.
- D
Restore energy only after refrigerant has been vented from the system.
When following the prescribed recovery sequence, which approach is correct for refrigerant in both liquid and vapor form?
- A
Recover vapor only because liquid recovery is not permitted.
- B
Recover liquid first when following the prescribed sequence, then also recover vapor.
- C
Recover liquid first, then vent the remaining vapor.
- D
Recover either liquid or vapor, but not both.
During low-pressure chiller recovery, protect the water side by as required by the equipment procedure.
For a pressure-rebound check, document the initial reading, .
What recovery level does EPA’s table give for low-pressure appliances? Enter the numeric value only; the unit suffix is supplied.
For certain appliances containing ozone-depleting refrigerant, what charge threshold is associated with EPA documentation requirements for leak inspections and verification tests? Enter the numeric threshold only; the unit suffix is supplied.
Before recovery begins, which checks belong in the recovery-setup inspection? Select all correct choices.
- A
Confirm the recovery unit is suitable for the refrigerant and appliance.
- B
Use an approved cylinder compatible with the refrigerant.
- C
Check that hoses and fittings are in good condition.
- D
Monitor cylinder capacity and weight as directed by the cylinder manufacturer.
- E
Mix refrigerants in the cylinder to simplify later handling.
- F
Exceed equipment ratings if recovery is slow.
A leaking section cannot reach the normal specified evacuation level. Under the limited exception described for leaking equipment, which actions are appropriate? Select all correct choices.
- A
Isolate leaking components from non-leaking components where possible.
- B
Evacuate non-leaking components to the specified level.
- C
Evacuate leaking components to the lowest attainable level without substantially contaminating recovered refrigerant, not exceeding 0 psig.
- D
Assume every leaking component qualifies for the exception without checking the applicable procedure.
- E
Stop documenting readings because the normal target was not reached.
A technician is completing a chiller recovery. Explain how the refrigerant must be handled and what equipment should be used.
When the prescribed recovery sequence recovers liquid refrigerant first, what phase must still be recovered afterward?
Under the limited exception for leaking equipment, what is the maximum pressure to which leaking components may be evacuated? Enter the value in psig.
True or false: Refrigerant may be vented during recovery instead of being collected using the prescribed recovery equipment.
- A
True
- B
False
A technician is preparing to recover refrigerant from a low-pressure chiller. Which action best protects the water side?
- A
Drain the water side in every case, regardless of the equipment procedure.
- B
Circulate or remove water as the equipment procedure requires to prevent freezing.
- C
Leave the water side unchanged because refrigerant recovery cannot affect it.
- D
Disconnect water-side protection once recovery begins.
A technician finds that a recovery setup was last used with a different refrigerant. Which preparation best helps prevent cross-contamination and ensures a suitable setup?
- A
Use any available recovery unit, then identify the refrigerant after recovery.
- B
Combine refrigerants in one cylinder if the cylinder has enough capacity.
- C
Confirm the unit and approved cylinder are compatible with the refrigerant, and keep refrigerants separated.
- D
Choose the cylinder by appearance and estimate its capacity from the hose length.
A chiller reaches its specified recovery endpoint, but pressure rises after the required wait. What should the technician do next?
- A
Open the circuit because the gauge reached the target once.
- B
Check the setup and isolation valves, consider refrigerant remaining in the system or oil, and resume the prescribed recovery and verification process.
- C
Assume the rise is harmless and document only the initial reading.
- D
Switch to dehydration evacuation and treat that as a substitute for the recovery check.
After a chiller repair, the system reaches its specified dehydration target, but pressure rises during the standing test. Which response is appropriate?
- A
Investigate possible leaks, trapped refrigerant or moisture, valve leakage, and instrument or hose problems; correct the cause and repeat evacuation and verification.
- B
Declare the circuit dry and tight because it reached the target initially.
- C
Continue charging because a standing test is only relevant before recovery.
- D
Use the regulatory recovery endpoint as proof that the dehydration target has been met.
