In the order of the direction of flow, the low pressure side of a refrigeration system is considered to exist between what two components?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Understand which components are on the high-pressure side vs the low-pressure side of a basic vapor-compression refrigeration cycle • Know the normal order of components in the direction of refrigerant flow: compressor → condenser → receiver → expansion valve (or device) → evaporator → back to compressor • Remember that pressure drops sharply where the expansion valve (or throttling device) is located

💭 Think About

• First, sketch or picture the full refrigeration cycle in order of flow and label each component and whether it is high- or low-pressure • Ask yourself: after the refrigerant passes through the expansion device, does its pressure increase or decrease? What about after it leaves the evaporator? • Compare each answer choice against your flow diagram to see where the low-pressure region starts and where it ends

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know exactly where the major pressure drop occurs in the system • Confirm which side of the compressor is high-pressure and which side is low-pressure • Verify which component comes immediately before and after the evaporator in the flow direction
