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 always has a lower pressure than a flooded one |
| A dry-expansion evaporator is filled with liquid, a flooded one with vapour |
| 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)?
| Positive pressure of 5–10 bar |
| Below atmospheric (approx. 0.7 bar abs at −40 °C) |
| Atmospheric pressure, approx. 1 bar abs |
| Positive pressure of 10–20 bar |

Ťažká
How is oil managed in R717 systems?
| Oil has no effect on system operation |
| Oil requires no monitoring |
| Oil can be mixed with any refrigerant |
| Oil collecting at the lowest points of vessels is regularly checked and drained, because it impairs heat transfer |
4
Ťažká
What should be done with contaminated R717?

| Release it into the atmosphere |
| Purify it or send it for disposal in accordance with regulations |

| Carry on working with the room door open |
| Increase the pressure in the system |
| Carry on working wearing a dust mask |
6
Ťažká
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
Ťažká
How should the system be prepared before filling with R717?
| The pressure must be increased above the standard level |
| Check for leaks, remove air and moisture, and create a vacuum |
| There is no need to check it |
| Simply start it up |
8
Ťažká
What are the transport requirements for R717?
| It can be carried without labelling |
| Transport is not regulated |
| It must be carried in suitable, labelled packagings in accordance with ADR (UN 1005, class 2, code 2TC) |
| It can be carried in open containers |
9
Ťažká
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 |

15
Ťažká
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

Which type of compressor is most commonly used in large ammonia systems?
| A reciprocating or screw compressor |

| By increasing the condensing pressure |
| By reducing the refrigerant charge |
| Solely by adjusting the oil volume |
18

When is two-stage compression used in NH₃ systems?
| Only in small systems |
| Only with water-cooled condensers |

What is the function of the liquid separator in an NH₃ system?
| Increases the discharge temperature |

| Because the oil mixes only with water |
27

| No level control is required |
| No separator is used |
| The evaporator is filled exclusively with vapour |
| The evaporator contains a large amount of liquid, which improves heat transfer |
30
Ťažká
What is the main difference between a direct and an indirect system?
| In an indirect system, NH₃ cools an intermediate medium (e.g. glycol), which in turn cools the load |
| In a direct system, there is no evaporator |
