Question 56Refrigeration & AC - Assistant Engineer
70% to passIn a large refrigeration system having more than one evaporator, a king solenoid valve should be installed in what location?
Abefore the condenser
Bjust after the receiver
Cbefore the back pressure regulating valve
Dbetween the condenser and receiver
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) just after the receiver. In a large refrigeration system with multiple evaporators, a king solenoid valve should be installed just after the receiver. This is because the king solenoid valve is used to control the flow of refrigerant to the individual evaporators, and it is most effective when placed after the receiver, which collects the liquid refrigerant from the condenser. Placing the king solenoid valve in this location allows it to regulate the flow of refrigerant to the evaporators as needed, rather than before the condenser or between the condenser and receiver, where it would not be as effective in controlling the refrigerant flow.
