Question 1 of 27070

Refrigerant enters the condenser in what condition?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic refrigeration cycle stages: evaporator → compressor → condenser → expansion device • How pressure and temperature of refrigerant change before and after the compressor • What the purpose of the condenser is in the refrigeration cycle

💭 Think About

• Think about the state of the refrigerant immediately AFTER it leaves the compressor—what are its pressure and whether it is mainly vapor or liquid? • What does the condenser do to the refrigerant: does it primarily cool vapor into liquid, or heat liquid into vapor? • If the condenser’s job is to reject heat to seawater or air, what condition must the refrigerant be in when it ENTERS so that condensation (change of state) can occur?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify whether the refrigerant is mostly vapor or liquid when it exits the compressor • Confirm whether the compressor DISCHARGE side is high pressure or low pressure in the system • Make sure the condition you choose logically allows the condenser to remove heat and produce a high-pressure liquid at its outlet
