Question 63Refrigeration & AC - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is C) store the refrigerant charge. The primary purpose of the receiver in a refrigeration plant is to store the full refrigerant charge of the system. The receiver acts as a reservoir to hold the refrigerant when it is not actively circulating through the system. This ensures that the proper amount of refrigerant is available for the system to operate efficiently. The other options are incorrect because: A) the condenser is responsible for condensing the refrigerant, B) the compressor is responsible for cooling the refrigerant gas, and D) the expansion valve is responsible for superheating the refrigerant liquid.
