Refrigeration & Air Conditioning USCG Question #163 (Set 3)

What is the physical state and pressure condition of refrigerant as it leaves a receiver in a typical refrigeration system?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — high-pressure liquid

The liquid receiver is situated directly downstream of the condenser outlet. Refrigerant collects here entirely as a high-pressure liquid, ready for delivery to the liquid line filter-drier and expansion valve in a standard vapor-compression cycle.
