70% to pass

What is the physical state and pressure condition of refrigerant as it leaves a receiver in a typical refrigeration system?

Ahigh-pressure vapor
Bhigh-pressure liquid
Clow-pressure vapor
Dlow-pressure liquid
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) high-pressure liquid. In a typical refrigeration system, the refrigerant leaves the receiver in a high-pressure liquid state. The receiver is located after the condenser, where the refrigerant has been condensed from a high-pressure vapor to a high-pressure liquid. The pressure of the refrigerant remains high as it exits the receiver, as the receiver is designed to maintain this high-pressure liquid state before the refrigerant enters the expansion valve. The other options are incorrect because: A) the refrigerant is in a liquid state, not a vapor state, as it leaves the receiver; C) and D) the refrigerant is under high pressure, not low pressure, as it exits the receiver.
