Question 46Refrigeration & AC - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passIn general, the thermal bulb for a thermal expansion valve used in a reciprocating air conditioning system is usually charged with what substance?
Amercuric sulfate
Bbees wax
Cdistilled water
Dthe same refrigerant as the system
AI Explanation
You are correct, the answer is D) the same refrigerant as the system. The thermal bulb of an expansion valve is charged with the same refrigerant used in the air conditioning system. This allows the thermal bulb to respond accurately to changes in refrigerant temperature and pressure, enabling the expansion valve to properly regulate the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator. Using the same refrigerant ensures the thermal bulb's measurements accurately reflect the conditions in the system. The other options are incorrect because mercuric sulfate, beeswax, and distilled water would not provide the appropriate thermal responsiveness to the refrigerant conditions in the system.
