I thought that most questions nowadays were something along the line of...
1. Done this before ?
2. Can you drive ?
3. When can you start ?

Re: air conditioning questions and answers
Hi,
1. Three symptoms of blocked condensor.
a) Temperatures not achieved in the air conditioned area.
b). High discharge pressure drop leading to higher power consumption.
c) Tripping of compressor.
2. Function of evaporator.
Function of evaporator is to facilitate transfer of heat from the air conditioned area to the liquid refrigerant flowing inside the heat exchanger.

Re: air conditioning questions and answers
I think the problem is that sometimes the person asking the questions is not always fully conversant with the answers.
It would perhaps be prudent to include one of the firms technicians somewhere in the interview process to get a 'feel' for the newcomer.Brian - Newton Abbot, Devon, UK
