🔍 Key Concepts

• Thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) sensing bulb function in a refrigeration system • Difference between air temperature around the pipe and actual suction line temperature inside the pipe • How insulation affects heat transfer to the sensing bulb

💭 Think About

• What temperature does the sensing bulb really need to sense for the TXV to work correctly: the room/air temperature or the suction line temperature? • If the bulb were not insulated, what external factors around the pipe could change its temperature reading and confuse the valve? • Which answer choices deal with temperature control of the bulb, and which talk about mechanical or corrosion issues instead?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options talk about temperature influence on the bulb instead of mechanical protection. • Decide whether oil inside the suction gas can significantly change the outside bulb temperature compared with the surrounding air stream. • Confirm that the main job of insulation here is related to accurate sensing of the correct temperature, not hardware protection.
