If a liquid drying agent is used in a refrigeration system already equipped with a solid drying agent, the liquid drying agent will cause what type of reaction?
• Refrigeration system drying agents and why they are used • How solid desiccants (drying agents) hold moisture • What can happen when a second, different type of drying agent is introduced into an existing system
• Think about the purpose of a drying agent in a refrigeration system and what it is designed to do with moisture already in the system. • Consider how a liquid drying agent might interact with moisture that is already absorbed in a solid drying agent—would it add more moisture, remove it, or change how it is held? • Ask yourself which option best matches a chemical/physical interaction between two drying agents, rather than between a drying agent and refrigerant or oil.
• Verify what desiccants (drying agents) do: they absorb or adsorb moisture from the system. • Check which choices describe an interaction directly between the liquid and solid drying agents, not involving refrigerant, oil, or air in the space. • Eliminate any answers that require extreme conditions (violence, toxicity, solidification) that are not normally associated with combining two drying agents.
