- Technician A says that air in the system can cause excessive pressure within the system, restricting the refrigerants ability to change its state from gas to liquid within the refrigeration cycle. Technician B says that moisture can cause freeze-up at the cap tube or expansion valve, which restricts refrigerant flow or blocks it completely. Who is correct? Technician A only Technician B only Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A feels up and down the face or along the return bends of the condenser for a temperature change and says that there should be a gradual change from hot to warm from the bottom to the top. Technician B says that a restriction in the condenser will be evident by a sudden change in temperature. Who is correct? Technician A only Technician B only Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhen condenser tubes become fouled, they may be cleaned by A. using a steel brush. B. using a brass brush.
