Question 185Refrigeration & AC - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is D: The bulb should be attached so that the pinched off tubing should be oriented down and the capillary tube running to the valve diaphragm should be oriented up. This is the correct answer because the orientation of the sensing bulb is important to ensure proper operation of the thermal expansion valve. With the pinched off tubing oriented downward and the capillary tube oriented upward, the bulb will be able to accurately sense the temperature of the refrigerant exiting the evaporator coil, allowing the valve to properly regulate the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator. The other options are incorrect because they do not provide the optimal orientation for the sensing bulb to accurately measure the temperature and provide proper control of the refrigerant flow.
