* Indicates required question
What is the primary role of a compressor in a refrigeration system?
*
1 point
To filter refrigerant impurities
To cool the refrigerant
To store refrigerant
To circulate refrigerant and increase its pressure and temperature
What makes a hermetic compressor unique in its design?
*
1 point
The compressor and electric motor are sealed in a single welded steel shell
It has external moving parts
It uses multiple refrigerants
It operates without electricity
What is a key disadvantage of a hermetic compressor?
*
1 point
Excessive noise
Large physical size
High manufacturing cost
Non-serviceability if motor or compressor fails
In a hermetic compressor, how is the motor typically cooled?
*
1 point
By the suction refrigerant
By electrical cooling systems
By water circulation
By external fans
What are the three main types of hermetic compressors discussed in the text?
*
1 point
Fixed, Variable, and Hybrid
Mechanical, Electrical, and Thermal
Piston, Electric, and Scroll

In a reciprocating compressor, what converts the motor's rotary motion into the piston's back-and-forth movement?
*
1 point
Crankshaft
Connecting rod
Cylinder wall
Valve plate
What is the primary advantage of a variable speed (inverter) compressor?
*
1 point

Suction port
What happens during the suction stroke of a reciprocating compressor?
*
1 point
Refrigerant is compressed
Temperature increases dramatically
Refrigerant is discharged
Low-pressure vapor is drawn into the cylinder
Why are shaft seals not a concern in hermetic compressors?
*
1 point
Refrigerant pressure is low
Motors are externally cooled
