Question 64Refrigeration & AC - QMED

The correct answer is B) store the refrigerant charge. The primary purpose of the receiver in a refrigeration plant is to act as a storage vessel for the refrigerant charge. The receiver holds the excess refrigerant in the system, ensuring there is a sufficient amount of refrigerant available for the compressor to draw from during operation. This allows the system to maintain proper refrigerant levels and ensures consistent, efficient performance. The other options are incorrect because: A) superheat the refrigerant is the function of the expansion valve, C) condense the refrigerant is the role of the condenser, and D) cool the refrigerant gas is the job of the evaporator, not the receiver.
