FSM 3215 EXAM REVIEW QUESTIONS
AND VERIFIED ANSWERS
\.What is the function of the Expansion Valve in a refrigeration cycle? -
ANSWERS✔-Controls the pressure of the liquid refrigerant as it enters the
evaporator, lowering the pressure and temperature.
\.What is the purpose of the Evaporator in a refrigeration cycle? - ANSWERS✔-To
absorb heat by allowing the low-pressure refrigerant to expand and change state
from liquid to gas through evaporation.
\.What is the role of the Compressor in a refrigeration cycle? - ANSWERS✔-To
increase refrigerant pressure by compressing its volume, transforming it from a
low pressure gas to a high pressure gas before discharging it to the condenser.
\.What is the role of the condenser in a refrigeration cycle? - ANSWERS✔-
Condenser Removes heat from the refrigerant as vapor condenses. The condenser
is a coil of tubing, typically copper, with metal fins and a fan. As refrigerant gas
travels through the length of coil, heat is dissipated, causing the gas to condense
into a high-pressure liquid. The fins provide a metal surface to more efficiently
absorb heat while the fan blows air across the coil to remove it. From the
condenser, the pressurized liquid moves to the metering device.
, \.semi open kitchen - ANSWERS✔-an open kitchen where customers can see the
chefs
\.FOH flow pattern - ANSWERS✔-arrival, greeting at door, seating, busser
approach, server greet, dining, check presentation
\.expectations of a restroom - ANSWERS✔-clean, comfy, private, nice decor, good
lighting, self closing door id near kitchen, consider waiting area, separate
bathroom for staff,
\.whe hiring a project consultant - ANSWERS✔-reviews, certificates, and past work
should all be looked at
\.permits needed for food service - ANSWERS✔-business license, liquor license,
certificate of occupancy, food service license, health permit, insurance, music
license
\.timeline for opening a restaurant - ANSWERS✔-ideas, concept, menu planning,
business plan, permits, budgeting
\.how do you estimate a projects budget - ANSWERS✔-estimate food cost,
equipment prices, factor cost of overhead, ect
\.guests first impression - ANSWERS✔-atmosphere, cleanliness, food
