Question 11Refrigeration/AC - 1st Asst/Chief70% to pass
If it is necessary to increase the operating head pressure of the refrigeration system using the device shown in the illustration, what should be done? Illustration GS-RA-14
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) "2" should be turned to further compress the spring.
To increase the operating head pressure of the refrigeration system, the spring-loaded valve (item "2" in the illustration) must be adjusted to increase the compression of the spring. This will raise the pressure at which the valve opens, resulting in a higher operating head pressure in the system.
The other options are incorrect because:
B) Relaxing the spring compression would decrease the operating head pressure.
C) Compressing the bellows (item "4") would not directly affect the spring-loaded valve that controls the head pressure.
D) Relaxing the bellows would also not impact the spring-loaded valve.
