Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
21. Critical temperature is' the temperature above which
- a gas will never liquefy
- a gas will immediately liquefy
- water will evaporate
- water will never evaporate
- none of the above.
Correct answer: (A)
a gas will never liquefy
22. Domestic refrigerator working on vapour compression cycle uses the following type of expansion device
- electrically operated throttling valve
- manually operated valve
- thermostatic valve
- capillary tube
- expansion valve.
Correct answer: (D)
capillary tube
23. Efficiency of a Cornot engine is given as 80%. If the- cycle direction be reversed, what will be the value of COP of reversed Carnot cycle
- 1.25
- 0.8
- 0.5
- 0.25
- none of the above.
24. For better COP of refrigerator, the pressure range corresponding to temperature in evaporator and condenser must be
- small
- high
- euqal
- anything
- under some conditions small and under some conditions high.
25. For obtaining high COP, the pressure range of compressor should be
- high
- low
- optimum
- any value
- there is no such criterion.
26. For proper refrigeration in a cabinet, if the temperature and vapour pressure difference between cabinet and atmosphere is high, then
- bigger cabinet should be used
- smaller cabinet should be used
- perfectly tight vapour seal should be used
- refrigerant with lower evaporation temperature should be used
- refrigerant with high boiling point must be used.
Correct answer: (C)
perfectly tight vapour seal should be used
27. Formation of frost on evaporator in refrigerator
- results in loss of heat due to poor heat transfer
- increases heat transfer rate
- is immaterial
- can be avoided by proper design
- decreases compressor power.
Correct answer: (A)
results in loss of heat due to poor heat transfer
28. Freon group of refrigerants are
- inflammable
- toxic
- non-inflammable and toxic
- non-toxic and inflammable
- non-toxic and non-inflammable.
Correct answer: (E)
non-toxic and non-inflammable.
29. Highest pressure encountered in a refrigeration system should be
- critical pressure of refrigerant
- much below critical pressure
- much above critical pressure
- near critical pressure
- there is no such restriction.
Correct answer: (B)
much below critical pressure
30. Highest temperature encountered in refrigeration cycle should be
- near critical temperature of refrigerant
- above critical temperature
- at critica. temperature
- much below critical temperature
- could be anywhere.
Correct answer: (D)
much below critical temperature
