What is the purpose of the pressure transducer as shown in the illustration? Illustration GS-RA-17 Illustration GS-RA-17: the U.S. Coast Guard has not released this illustration.

Correct Answer: Option A — it senses compressor suction pressure and controls the quench valve

Electronic pressure transducers monitor real-time compressor suction conditions and transmit proportional electrical signals to microprocessors regulating liquid injection quench valves to protect against excessive discharge temperatures.
