🔍 Key Concepts

• Function of the receiver in a refrigeration system • Difference between storage components and heat‑exchange components (like condensers and evaporators) • Where the receiver is located in relation to the condenser and expansion valve

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is the receiver mainly changing the refrigerant’s temperature/phase, or holding it for later use? • Which component in the system is actually responsible for condensing hot refrigerant gas into liquid? • Think about whether the receiver usually contains liquid or gas, and what that tells you about its job.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which component in the system is the primary condenser and which is the storage vessel. • Verify whether a receiver is placed on the high‑pressure liquid line after the condenser. • Confirm whether the receiver’s main role is heat transfer or capacity/storage.
