🔍 Key Concepts

• Function of compressor discharge valves in a vapor‑compression refrigeration system • How a leak between high side and low side affects system pressures when the compressor is running and when it stops • What determines when a refrigeration compressor cycles on and off

💭 Think About

• Think about what the discharge valve is supposed to do after the piston/compressor forces refrigerant into the discharge line. If it leaks badly, what happens to the pressure difference between the discharge side and the suction side? • Ask yourself which component on the list (expansion valve, condenser, compressor, receiver) would be most directly affected by a loss of pressure difference between high and low sides. • Consider what the system control (thermostat/pressure control) responds to: temperature and/or pressure. If the compressor can’t build and hold normal head pressure, how would that influence its operating pattern?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on which parts are high side (discharge, condenser, receiver, liquid line) and which are low side (evaporator, suction). • Check which option describes a system behavior over time rather than a one‑time mechanical failure or damage. • Eliminate any choices that would require higher‑than-normal pressure or flow into the condenser or receiver, and focus on what happens if the compressor’s effective output is reduced by leaking valves.
