Question 84Refrigeration & AC - Assistant Engineer
70% to passUsing the device shown in the illustration, which of the following statements is true when adding refrigerant as a vapor to the low side of the refrigeration system? Illustration GS-RA-01

AThe hose labeled "K" should be connected to the suction service valve service port, the hose labeled "J" should be connected to the vapor valve on the refrigerant cylinder and the valve labeled "C" should be closed.
BThe hose labeled "K" should be connected to the suction service valve service port, the hose labeled "J" should be connected to the vapor valve on the refrigerant cylinder and the valve labeled "C" should be open.
CThe hose labeled "H" should be connected to the suction service valve service port, the hose labeled "J" should be connected to the vapor valve on the refrigerant cylinder and the valve labeled "G" should be closed.
DThe hose labeled "H" should be connected to the suction service valve service port, the hose labeled "J" should be connected to the vapor valve on the refrigerant cylinder and the valve labeled "G" should be open.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D. When adding refrigerant as a vapor to the low side of the refrigeration system, the hose labeled "H" should be connected to the suction service valve service port, the hose labeled "J" should be connected to the vapor valve on the refrigerant cylinder, and the valve labeled "G" should be open. This allows the refrigerant vapor to flow from the cylinder into the low-pressure side of the system. The other options are incorrect because they either have the hoses connected to the wrong ports or have the valve in the wrong position, which would not allow the refrigerant vapor to properly enter the system.
