What do we mean by the ‘application range’ of a compressor?
| By this term, we mean the following parameters: compressor capacity, type of refrigerant, and the compressor’s geometric dimensions. |
| By this term, we mean the following parameters: the evaporation and condensation temperatures (to and tk), or the pressure values that determine the compressor’s application. |
| By this term, we mean that the compressor’s application range is determined by the evaporation temperature ‘to’ at a given ambient temperature. |
| By this term, we mean that the compressor’s operating range is determined by the evaporation temperature ‘to’ during operation. |

What are the basic functions of oil in a compressor?
| The oil absorbs moisture from the refrigerant that enters the compressor. |
| The oil lubricates both the bearings and the sliding surfaces of the compressor components, and cools the compressor by transferring the heat generated during compression to the compressor’s outer casing. |
| The oil seals any leaks that develop in the system. |
| The oil seals the gap between the piston and the cylinder. |

What are the most effective ways of regulating the compressor’s cooling capacity?
| By changing the compressor’s displacement, by varying the rotational speed, or by deactivating individual cylinders. |
| By partially covering the evaporator to reduce the heat exchange surface area. |
| By means of pressure control valves. |
| Using an expansion valve. |

What does compressor bypass control involve?
| Hot, high-pressure refrigerant vapour is drawn in on the suction side of the compressor. |
| High-pressure liquid refrigerant is injected on the suction side of the compressor. |
| The bypass control is not used to regulate the compressor. |
| Refrigerant in the form of cooled, high-pressure vapour is introduced into the suction line. |

What is the fundamental difference between hermetic and semi-hermetic compressors?
| Both types of compressors are disassemblable, and the difference lies in their varying capacities. |
| The housing of a hermetic compressor and the compressor itself form a single unit. |
| The casing of semi-hermetic compressors can be dismantled, whereas the casing of hermetic compressors cannot be dismantled. |
| Semi-hermetic compressors are characterised by the quiet operation of the entire unit. |

How does a scroll compressor work?
| It uses two screws to compress the refrigerant. |
| A scroll compressor is also known as a turbo compressor. |
| It is a type of piston-type device. |
| It is a device fitted with two spirals. It is a type of positive displacement (volumetric) compressor in which compression takes place through the interaction of the two spirals. |

What physical process takes place in the evaporator?
| It cools the refrigerant flowing through it. |
| It causes the refrigerant flowing through it to condense. |
| The medium flowing through the evaporator (glycol, water) evaporates, whilst the refrigerant condenses. |
| The liquid refrigerant evaporates and a small amount of it becomes superheated. |

What is the purpose of regulating the compressor’s capacity?
| It ensures adequate lubrication of the compressor. |
| It allows the cooling capacity to be adjusted to meet requirements. |
| Capacity control protects the compressor from low thermal loads. |
| It ensures that the cooling capacity is adjusted based on condensing temperatures. |

Why is inverter speed control suitable for refrigeration compressors?
| Inverter speed control enables continuous, smooth regulation of cooling capacity. |
| Inverter speed control reduces energy consumption only under natural conditions. |
| Inverter speed control can be used with any type of compressor to ensure adequate lubrication. |
| By reducing the speed of the refrigeration compressor motor, inverter speed control improves the return oil flow to the compressor. |

Does the suction gas temperature affect the cooling capacity of the compressor?
| Temperature has no effect on the compressor’s cooling capacity. |
| It has a significant effect on performance. |
| It does, but only if the gas is deeply cooled. |
| It does, but only for reciprocating compressors. |

In the case of compressor units fitted with an oil level control system, is it necessary to install the compressors at the same height?
| No. |
| Only screw compressors. |
| Yes. |
| Only scroll compressors. |

What functions does a compressor powered by the vehicle’s engine perform in a transport refrigeration system?
| This compressor draws in refrigerant vapour from the evaporator, compresses it and then forces it into the condenser whilst the vehicle’s engine is running. |
| The compressor compresses ambient air and increases the pressure of the refrigerant. |
| This compressor creates a vacuum on the suction side of the system whilst the vehicle’s engine is switched off. |
| This compressor condenses the refrigerant whilst the vehicle is in motion. |

Which natural fluids absorb heat from the refrigerant in the condenser?
| Water and an antifreeze mixture. |
| Water or air. |

What is the function of the condenser in refrigeration systems?
| The heat absorbed in the evaporator and transferred during the compression process is then released into the environment via the condenser. |
| Heat from the compressor is then released into the environment via the condenser. |
| The heat absorbed in the evaporator is then released into the environment via the condenser |
| Heat released in the regenerative heat exchanger is absorbed by the condenser. |

If the condensation temperature is higher than the critical point temperature of the refrigerant, condensation:
| will occur provided a specially designed condenser is used. |
| will not occur. |
| temperature has no effect on condensation. |
| will always occur regardless of the temperature. |

How does the subcooling of the refrigerant take place within a refrigeration system?
| Subcooling of the liquid refrigerant in the final section of the condenser. |
| Subcooling using an additional heat exchanger and liquid nitrogen. |
| Subcooling using high-pressure hot vapour. |
| Subcooling of the refrigerant using oil (dissolving the refrigerant in oil). |

What is the purpose of controlling the condenser fan speed?
| Condenser fan speed control reduces energy efficiency. |
| Condenser fan speed control safeguards against the maximum permissible condensing pressure. |
| Dispersion of the refrigerant in the event of a system leak. |
| Condenser fan speed control ensures that the condensing pressure is maintained at the correct level. |
