Question 64Refrigeration & AC - Assistant Engineer
70% to passIn a refrigeration system, from what location would air and non-condensable gases be removed?
The correct answer is A) the top of the condenser purge connection. In a refrigeration system, air and non-condensable gases are removed from the top of the condenser purge connection. This is because these gases tend to accumulate at the top of the condenser, where they can reduce the system's efficiency by interfering with the condensation process. The purge connection allows these gases to be vented from the system, improving its overall performance. The other options are incorrect because the expansion valve equalizer connection (B) is used for a different purpose, the receiver drain connection (C) is used to drain the receiver, and the compressor oil fill connection (D) is used for adding oil to the compressor, not removing air and non-condensable gases.
