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


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 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

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

How is oil managed in R717 systems?


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

4

Nehéz

What should be done with contaminated R717?


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

5

Nehéz

What should be done if an NH₃ leak is detected?


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)
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 store the refrigerant
They are used to measure temperature
They increase the pressure in the system

7

Nehéz

How should the system be prepared before filling with R717?


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

8

Nehéz

What are the transport requirements for R717?


It can be carried in open containers
It can be carried without labelling
It must be carried in suitable, labelled packagings in accordance with ADR (UN 1005, class 2, code 2TC)
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
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
An oil return line cannot be used in R717 systems because the oil is too hot

10

Nehéz

Which refrigerant can be detected with phenolphthalein paper?


R744
R1234ze(E)
R1270
R717

11

Which system may require manual oil recovery?


An R717 system
R744 cascade system
Secondary system using R744
Supercritical ‘booster’ system using R744

12

R717 is highly corrosive to:


titanium
aluminium
stainless steel
copper (and its alloys)

14

Nehéz

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


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

15

Nehéz

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


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

16

Nehéz

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


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

17

Nehéz

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


By reducing the refrigerant charge
Solely by adjusting the oil volume
By unloading the cylinders or changing the rotational speed
By increasing the condensing pressure

18

Nehéz

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


By closing the suction valve
By adjusting the oil level
By using a slide valve
By changing the type of oil

19

Nehéz

When is two-stage compression used in NH₃ systems?


At small temperature differences
Only with water-cooled condensers
Only in small systems
At low evaporating temperatures (pressures) and high pressure ratios

20

Nehéz

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


Higher efficiency and lower discharge temperature
No need for a separator
Lower efficiency
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 transfers heat only to the air
It does not require a water supply

22

Nehéz

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


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

23

Nehéz

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


To maintain the correct refrigerant level and prevent the compressor from flooding
To increase the oil volume
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
It controls the fan’s operation
It regulates the condensation temperature
It is used to detect leaks

25

Nehéz

What is a thermosyphon in NH₃ systems?


An oil circulation pump
A defrosting device
A type of safety valve
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 the oil mixes only with water
Because NH₃ does not mix with most compressor oils
To reduce the pressure

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

The evaporator is filled exclusively with vapour

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, 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
