What is the purpose of a dehydrator installed in a refrigeration system?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Function of a dehydrator (drier) in a closed refrigeration system • Difference between removing moisture vs removing non‑condensable gases • Relationship between oil and refrigerant in a compressor system

💭 Think About

• Think about what substance in the system can freeze and block expansion valves or capillary tubes if it is not removed. • Ask yourself: which component’s job is to protect the system from internal corrosion and ice formation? • Consider which of the answer choices describes something that is usually done by other components, like a separator or a purge unit, rather than a dehydrator.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option directly involves water or moisture in the system. • Eliminate options that describe functions normally handled by oil separators or purge units. • Check which choice best explains preventing ice blockages and corrosion inside the refrigeration piping.
