Engine Refrigeration (Supplementary) USCG Question #179 (Set 3)

If a liquid drying agent is used in a refrigeration system already equipped with a solid drying agent, the liquid drying agent will cause what type of reaction?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — it will release the moisture already trapped in the solid drying agent

Mixing liquid drying agents into a system containing solid desiccants triggers an adverse chemical reaction that desorbs and releases previously trapped moisture back into the circulating refrigerant.
