ASHRAE Standard 34 deals with:
A: Carbon monoxide safety levels
B: Refrigerant quality
C: Equipment room ventilation and alarms
D: Refrigerant toxicity and flammability - correct answer D: Refrigerant toxicity and
flammability
ANSI/ASHRAE 34 published in 2001 and entitled "Designation and Safety Classification
of Refrigerants".
• Class A signifies refrigerants for which toxicity has not been identified at
concentrations less than or equal to 400 ppm;
• Class B signifies refrigerants for which there is evidence of toxicity at concentrations
below 400 ppm.
• Class 1 indicates refrigerants that do not show flame propagation when tested in air at
21°C and 101 kPa;
• Class 2 indicates refrigerants having a lower flammability limit of more than 0.10 kg/m3
at 21°C and 101 kPa and a heat of combustion of less than 19 kJ/kg;
• Class 3 indicates refrigerants that are highly flammable as defined by a lower
flammability limit of less than or equal to 0.10 kg/m3 at 21°C and 101 kPa or a heat of
combustion greater than or equal to 19 kJ/kg.
What control would you use on a capillary tube or automatic expansion valve system to
maintain the desired temperature?
A: Dual pressure control
B: High pressure control
C: Thermostatic temperature control
D: Low pressure control - correct answer C: Thermostatic temperature control
The total heat contained in any substance is obtained by adding together its:
A: Radiant and specific heat
B: Latent and sensible heat
C: Radiant and sensible heat
