🔍 Key Concepts

• Role of a dehydrator (filter‑drier) in a refrigeration system • Phase (liquid vs vapor) where moisture is most easily removed from refrigerant • Effects of moisture on system components, especially small orifices and valves

💭 Think About

• Think about what physical state the refrigerant is in at the liquid line and why that matters for trapping moisture. • Which component in the system is most sensitive to tiny amounts of water freezing inside it? How would that affect system operation? • Ask yourself: where would moisture do the most harm, and where is it easiest to filter it out – in liquid or vapor form?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify that a dehydrator’s primary job is to remove moisture, not oil or liquid refrigerant. • Confirm what happens when water in the refrigerant reaches the expansion device and the temperature drops sharply. • Verify which choice directly relates to water freezing and blocking flow, instead of unrelated problems like sweating, oil removal, or slugging.
