Question 36Refrigeration & AC - QMED
70% to passTraditionally, which of the listed refrigerants has been more suitable than the others for use in a centrifugal refrigeration compressor?
AR-11
BR-12
CAmmonia
DCarbon dioxide
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) R-11. Traditionally, R-11 (trichlorofluoromethane) has been more suitable than other refrigerants for use in a centrifugal refrigeration compressor. This is because R-11 has a low vapor pressure and high density, which makes it well-suited for the high-pressure environment of a centrifugal compressor. In contrast, the other options such as R-12 (dichlorodifluoromethane), ammonia, and carbon dioxide are less ideal for centrifugal compressors due to their higher vapor pressures or other physical properties that are not as well-matched to the operating conditions of this type of refrigeration system.
