Question 13Refrigeration & AC - Assistant Engineer
70% to passHeat is removed from the refrigerant circulating through the refrigeration system, shown in the illustration, by which component? Illustration GS-RA-12

The correct answer is B. Heat is removed from the refrigerant circulating through the refrigeration system by the condenser, which is component B in the illustration GS-RA-12. The condenser is responsible for removing heat from the high-pressure, high-temperature refrigerant vapor coming from the compressor and transferring that heat to the surrounding air or cooling water, causing the refrigerant to condense into a high-pressure liquid. The other options are incorrect because component A is the compressor, component J is the expansion valve, and component K is the evaporator. None of these components are responsible for removing heat from the refrigerant in this refrigeration system.
