Chapter 55, Problem 8ASRQ
While discussing an inoperative blend air door: Technician A says that to check the proper functioning of the ductwork, move the temperature control lever to see if any change at the doors occurs. If it does not, shut off the air conditioner and turn on the heater. Move the temperature control arm again to see if any change occurs. If not, check the cable and the flap door connected to the temperature control lever. Technician B says that in some cases you can reach under the dash to reconnect the cable or free a stuck flap. Who is right?
- Technician A only

- While discussing the operation of air-conditioning systems: Technician A says that in order for the refrigerant to release heat, it must be at a low temperature and pressure. Technician B says that in order for the refrigerant to absorb heat, it must be at a high temperature and pressure. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician 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 says that when the A7C system is off, the refrigerant occupies the system as a liquid and its pressure is the same throughout the system. Technician B says that refrigerant is pumped out of the compressor as a high-pressure, high-temperature vapor and is sent to the condenser. Who is correct? Technician A only Technician B only Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- Technician A says that some refrigerant leaks can also be traced to pinholes in the evaporator caused by acid, which forms when water and refrigerant mix. Technician B says that leaks are most often found at the compressor hose connections and at the various fittings and joints in the system. 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_forwardWhat special valve is used in a refrigerated air drier? A. Four-way valve B. Defrost valve C. Three-way valve D. Hot gas bypass valvearrow_forward
