Question 1 of 27070

What is the pressure and physical state of the refrigerant leaving the condenser of a R-22 refrigeration system?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Location and purpose of the condenser in a basic refrigeration cycle • How refrigerant changes state (vapor ⇄ liquid) as it gives up or absorbs heat • Which components are high pressure side vs low pressure side in an R‑22 system

💭 Think About

• Trace the path of the refrigerant: compressor → condenser → expansion device → evaporator. At which point is the pressure highest? • In the condenser, is the refrigerant rejecting heat to the surroundings or absorbing it? What effect does that have on its state (vapor vs liquid)? • Right before the expansion valve, what state must the refrigerant be in for the valve to work properly?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which components are on the high-pressure side (discharge side of the compressor) and which are on the low-pressure side (suction side). • Decide whether the condenser’s main job is to condense vapor to liquid or boil liquid to vapor. • Confirm what state (vapor or liquid) you normally want leaving the condenser and heading toward the expansion device.
