Exam Question

[wolfen]

What Temp. increase above normal temp. could indicate scale formation .
A. 8F C.5F
B. 3F D. 10F

[Brian_UK]

I don't know, how many guesses do we get.

Providing a bit more information and perhaps a short introduction of yourself might improve the chance of a sensible answer.

[nh3wizard]

You get 3 wrong guess's, the 4th would be right.

b. 3°F d. 5°F

ANSWER: B

[cesarnino]

i guess c.10

[wolfen]

Thank You ChillyWilley. I`m facing my Red Seal Nj Refrigeration License and I`m walking in blind as to whats on the test. With the blue seal i had a general idea what they would be looking for. So any help is appreciated. I thought C. 10F too,but,i think B. 3F is the correct answer. Thanks

iam still stuck on the question!!

What Temp. increase above normal temp. could indicate scale formation .
A. 8F C.5F
B. 3F D. 10F

I'm sorry this is just a stupid question. No disrespect to the poster. My comment is directed towards whoever wrote that question.

Scale formation depends on the solubility of the minerals in the water + the temperature. Therefore, there could be several answers, but there is not enough information to specify which temperature is correct.

Obviously, whoever wrote the question had an answer in mind and it would be a good question if more information was presented.

Scale formation depends on the solubility of the minerals in the water + the temperature. Therefore, there could be several answers, but there is not enough information to specify which temperature is correct.

And of course, the Reynolds Number, i.e. internal roughness of the pipe/tub, also has a part to play in the time taken for the build up

My point with my first answer.

It is assumed by one and all that he is asking about a cooling water system but we still don't know for sure.

[US Iceman]

You are right Brian. I made the assumption he was talking about a water-cooled system. It might very well be an air-cooled condenser with a water spray on it for we know right now.

[Harrison]

any temp above normal would indicate scale formation yes? seems like a trick question, ie if normaly you see temp x then you see temp x + 3f then youve got something reducing your heat transfer (assumiong everthing else is equal) which could be scale and seeing as the question asks about scale then......
it must be B!

[nike123]

I would say all 4 are correct answers an should be ticked.

Sorry i wasn`t more clear with my question. I was talking about a chiller. Trane.
The state of new jersey has there own answers for things. It doen`t even have to be right. It`s just what they want.
Wednesday is my day. I think i`m going to do alright.
Wish me luck. This is just to meet state requirements.
I found the same pastie site and it helped out. All NJ questions.
Thanks
