2.1.1Valve (Globe valve\ A valve is a mechanical device that blocks a pipe, either partially or completely, to change the amount of fluid that passes through it
2.1.2Strainer A strainer is a mechanical dev ice designed to help protect the system from the harmful or undesirable effects of both solid and fluid impurities. A strainer filters out solid debris in the water system

2.3They reduce the cost of handling, transportation and installation. Smaller number of joints facilitates the speed and reduces chances of leakage. They are rust -resistant. These pipes have good elastic properties.
Q3— Section header —
3.1.1Sub cooling in refrigeration means cooling the refrigerant in liquid state, at uniform pressure, to a temperature that is less than the saturation temperature, which corresponds to condenser pressure.
3.1.2Superheati ng is when liquid refrigerant enters an evaporator and is entirely vapori ed before it arrives at the outlet of the evaporator. The liquid is vapori ed at low temperature, while the vapour is
3.1.3The volumetric efficiency (V\ of a compressor is defined as the ratio of th e actual volume of gas sucked by it to the theoretical volume that it could have sucked if the clearance volume was not present.

About Refrigeration Trade Theory examination preparation

This TVET examination resource can be used as part of a structured revision programme. Past papers are most useful when learners attempt questions independently, work within a realistic time limit, and review their answers afterwards.

How to use this resource for revision

A TVET past examination paper is most useful when it is treated as an active revision exercise. Try the questions yourself before checking the corresponding memorandum. Where you make an error, identify the reason — was it a knowledge gap, a calculation mistake, an interpretation issue, or an examination technique problem?

For stronger examination practice, complete the paper without unnecessary interruptions and keep track of the questions that take the most time. Afterwards, review the memorandum and separate knowledge gaps from mistakes caused by interpretation, calculation, structure, or examination technique.

A practical revision approach

Start by completing the resource without looking at the memorandum. Review incorrect and incomplete answers afterwards and make a short revision list based on the areas that caused difficulty.
