Title: Hvac student in need of some help
Post by: muffinman540 on March 21, 2017, 07:40:22 PM
HI there, just wanted the opinion of people who are knowledgeable in the trade.

Please see this image: https://m.imgur.com/GgSpP02

The faded out gages represent what a technician would normally see on the systems and the solid gages are what you see right now (on a service call).

I believe the answer to first one is D (dirty or ice evaporater or low air flow on evap). I think the second one is a undercharged system.

Am I on the right track?

C) Is not a very nice answer  :-\

The faded out pressures seem off to me, but you're answers would be my choices as well.

Both faded suction pressures are at 41psig with a 18F saturation temperature.  In R22 systems that would not be what a technician would normally see.

I suppose there's a certain amount of rivalry between competing colleges. I'd like to send that example to my old hi-mark teacher and see if he gets a chuckle out of it.
