Below Are a Few Questions From Your Upcoming PSI State Exam:

1. Using the duct size calculator provided, and based on the effect of compression of the flexible duct on the air flow efficiency, what would be the approximate CFM air quantity given the following variables? 15% compression, 10-inch flexible duct, 0.1 friction loss.

  • Correct Answer: ADI Duct Size Calculator – 200 CFM

 

2. Calculate the amount to heat in BTUs given a five (5) pound block of ice that is frozen stable at 32 degrees F, and is to be heated to 82 degrees F?

  • Step_1: Not a required step, as the block is not below the freezing temperature of 32.
  • Step_2: BTU = Weight of Ice x Latent heat of fusion of Ice = 5 pounds x 144 BTUs/pound = 720 BTUs.
  • Step_3: BTU = Weight of Water x Specific Heat of Water x Temperature change = 5 pounds x 1.0 x 50 degrees F (82-32) = 250 BTUs.
  • Step_4: Finally, sum of the subtotals = 720 + 250 = 970 BTUs

 

3. How many BTUs does a 100 W incandescent light produce per hour?

  • Correct Answer: MR&AC – Heat from Lights is 1 W = 3.41 Btu/hr. Therefore, calculate the load = 100-watt x 3.41 Btu/hr = 341 Btu/hr

 

4. Determine the approximate low side pressure of R-22 at 5 degrees F.

  • Correct Answer: MR&AC – Appendix E, E.5 = 28psig

 

5. What would be the calculated power factor of a circuit operating on 120-volts that draws 9-amperes, if the output power is only 1000-watts?

  • Step_1: Calculate the Input power using Ohm’s Law P = I x E = 9A x 120V = 1,080 VA
  • Step_2: Calculate the Power Factor = Output Power / Input Power = 1000 Watts / 1,080 VA = 0.9259 = 93%
