🔍 Key Concepts

• Back-seat vs. front-seat in globe-style valves and what happens to the stem packing when the valve is fully open vs. fully closed • How refrigeration systems are kept running while maintenance is done on individual components • What parts of a valve are normally exposed to system pressure and which are being protected by special seating designs

💭 Think About

• Think about what physically happens inside the valve when it is moved from front-seat (fully closed) to back-seat (fully open). Which position changes how much system pressure reaches the stem packing? • Consider which of the options describes something that can be done to the valve itself while the refrigeration plant is still under pressure. • Ask yourself: is this design mainly about flow direction (suction/discharge or liquid/vapor), or about maintenance and safety under pressure?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which valve position (front-seat vs. back-seat) is used during normal operation and which is used during maintenance on the stem/packing. • Check which answer choice talks specifically about working on the stem packing or valve body while the line is still pressurized. • Eliminate any options that only discuss the service use of the valve (what it handles or where it’s installed) instead of its maintenance under pressure capability.
