In a large refrigeration system having more than one evaporator, a king solenoid valve should be installed in what location?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — just after the receiver
The king solenoid valve, or liquid line solenoid, must be located immediately downstream of the receiver to positively isolate liquid refrigerant during the pump-down cycle. This prevents liquid slugging of the compressor and controls refrigerant flow to multiple evaporators effectively.
