🔍 Key Concepts

• flow direction of refrigerant through a basic vapor-compression system (compressor → condenser → receiver → expansion valve → evaporator → back to compressor) • what happens to oil that circulates with refrigerant, and where it is most likely to leave the compressor • the purpose of an oil separator (oil trap) in protecting the compressor and improving efficiency

💭 Think About

• First, mentally trace the normal path of refrigerant through the system and note where it is in a high-pressure, high-temperature vapor state versus a liquid state. • Ask yourself: at what point in the circuit does oil tend to be carried out of the compressor and need to be removed from the discharge gas? • Eliminate any answer choices that are clearly on the liquid line side rather than on the hot gas discharge side of the compressor.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on which component raises the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant (this is where oil is discharged). • Identify which piping section is called the hot gas discharge line and which choice corresponds to that section. • Verify which components are on the liquid side downstream of the condenser and receiver so you can rule those locations out for an oil separator.
