🔍 Key Concepts

• Behavior of moisture (water) inside a refrigeration system • What happens to water at low temperatures and low pressures in the system • Location and purpose of expansion valves, king valves, and oil separators in a refrigeration circuit

💭 Think About

• In which part of the system is the refrigerant at its coldest and lowest pressure, making water most likely to freeze? • Which component has a small orifice or tight passage that would be especially sensitive to ice formation? • Think about whether moisture is more likely to affect oil or to change state (liquid to ice) and block flow.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify where the largest pressure drop occurs in the system and how that affects temperature • Review the function and internal design (orifice vs. valve seat vs. large chamber) of each listed component • Confirm where a small amount of ice would cause the most immediate restriction to refrigerant flow
