Which of the following items shown in the...

Which of the following items shown in the illustration is a replaceable core suction line dehydrator? See illustration GS-RA-05.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Trace the suction line (cool/low-pressure return gas) from the outlet of the evaporator back to the compressor and note which numbered components are installed in that line. • Recall that a replaceable core suction line dehydrator is usually a larger canister-style shell in the suction line, designed so the internal core can be changed, and it is different from a small liquid-line filter-drier. • Distinguish between components in the liquid line (high-pressure, warm) coming from the condenser and receiver and those in the suction line (low-pressure, cool) returning to the compressor.

💭 Think About

• Which color/line in the illustration represents the suction (low-pressure) side, and which numbers are clearly located in that line just before the compressor? • Among the numbered components in the suction line, which one is drawn as a canister-style shell that would reasonably hold a replaceable core, rather than a storage vessel or accumulator? • How does the size and position of the suspected dehydrator compare to the smaller liquid-line filter-drier shown elsewhere in the system?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify you have correctly identified the suction line path from the evaporator outlet back to the compressor inlet. • Confirm that the item you select is in the suction line, not in the liquid line leaving the condenser/receiver. • Check that the chosen component’s shape and size match a shell-type filter-drier with a replaceable core, not a receiver, accumulator, or sight glass.
