What is refrigerant compatibility?
Refrigerant compatibility refers to different types of refrigerant being compatible. Not all air conditioners use the same type of refrigerant and not all refrigerants are compatible in every air conditioner.
Do liquid and gas take up the same space as the container?
Gases will expand or contract to the volume of the container they are in, so gases do. However, liquids have fixed volumes, so they do not. In other words, a liter of water will remain a liter of water whether it is in a bucket or a swimming pool. However, the same quantity of gas may have different volumes depending on the container.
What will happen when cold air and warm are added to the same container?
when cold and warm air are added in the same container it causes water.
Is the average kinetic energy of particle in a block of ice at 0 degrees the same as or different from the average kinetic energy of the particle in a gas-filles container at 0 degrees Celsius?
the same
What can handle more pressure a small closed container or a large closed container if the amount of liquid placed in it is the same?
small container
It is important not to mix R-22 and R-410A refrigerants in the same container because?
They operate at different pressures and mixing them will cause cross contamination plus it will damage the a/c system.............
Why should you not mix r-22 and r-41oa refrigerants in the same container?
Two different oils. Cannot be recycled or reclaimed.
When recovering refrigerant it is important not to mix different refrigerants in the same conainer because?
the mixture may be impossible to reclaim
Can a container with a different shape have the same capacity?
yes
What has different shape But has the same volume in a container?
liquid
What has different shape but the same volume in any container?
liquid
How many refrigerants may be recovered into the same cylinder?
1
Explain what Refrigeration Compatibility means in relation to refrigeration oils?
There are different types of refrigerant oils. Refrigerants such as R22 and R12 usually use mineral oil. But some of blended refrigerants like R410A can sometimes use a poly oil. These oils can not be blended together. So a system that already has a refrigerant with mineral oil must be charged with refrigerants with the same oil.
Is freon gas flammable?
"Freon" is a trademark name of DuPont for a series of HFC and CFC refrigerants which they manufactured - other companies manufactured and continue to manufacture the same refrigerants, but cannot use the name Freon for their product. Some of the refrigerants marketed under the name Freon are flammable, and some are not. The CFC refrigerants will almost certainly be flammable - the HFC refrigerants may or may not be.
How is solid different from gas?
Gas expands to fill up it's container, while if solids are put into the same container, the will not expand. They will stay the same size and shape.
What is freon's common name?
Freon is a name trademarked by DuPont for a line of CFC and HFC refrigerants which they manufacture. Other manufacturers make these same refrigerants, but cannot call them Freon, as DuPont has exclusive rights to the name. The common name depends on the exact refrigerant you had in mind, as different types of AC systems use different refrigerant.
Would water pressure be the same at the same depth in two containers that had very different shapes?
yes because if the container is smaller it has a greater pressure than a bigger container. ;)
