🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose of a relief valve in a refrigeration system (protecting against overpressure) • Normal flow path of refrigerant: compressor → condenser → receiver/expansion → evaporator → back to compressor • Why relief valves usually discharge to a low-pressure side or safe return point in a closed system

💭 Think About

• If the relief valve opens on the compressor discharge line, what part of the system is being protected from excessive pressure? • Which of the listed locations would allow the relieved vapor to return to the system without creating another overpressure problem? • Among the options, which point is normally at a much lower pressure than the compressor discharge line in normal operation?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which component(s) are on the high‑pressure side (after the compressor) and which are on the low‑pressure side (before the compressor). • Confirm where manufacturers typically pipe relief valves in closed refrigeration systems so that no refrigerant is vented to atmosphere. • Make sure the chosen location would not cause liquid slugging or damage to the compressor by sending liquid into the wrong side.
