Refrigeration & Air Conditioning USCG Question #645 (Set 13)

In a refrigeration system, the bulb for the thermal expansion valve is always located where?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — at the evaporator coil outlet

The thermal expansion valve sensing bulb is securely clamped to the suction line directly at the evaporator coil outlet. This precise placement allows it to monitor the exact superheat of the vapor leaving the coil, ensuring optimal valve modulation and compressor protection.
