Refrigeration & Air Conditioning USCG Question #467 (Set 9)

In a refrigeration system, the pressure within the power element of a thermostatic expansion valve depends directly upon what factor?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — temperature of the evaporator coil outlet

The pressure within the thermostatic expansion valve's thermal power element is determined entirely by the temperature of the remote sensing bulb clamped directly to the evaporator coil outlet, which dictates the vapor pressure of the internal fluid charge.
