Question 5Refrigeration & AC - QMED
70% to passExcessive moisture being collected in the purge unit of a low-pressure refrigeration system could indicate which probable condition?
Alow efficiency purge unit
Bdryer core needs replacement
Cleaking condenser or chiller tubes
Dimproper charging of refrigerant
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) leaking condenser or chiller tubes. The reasoning behind this is that in a low-pressure refrigeration system, excessive moisture collected in the purge unit can indicate a leak in the condenser or chiller tubes. This is because any leaks in these components would allow air and moisture to enter the system, leading to the accumulation of moisture in the purge unit. The other options are not the primary cause of excessive moisture in the purge unit, as a low-efficiency purge unit (A) would not necessarily lead to moisture buildup, and improper refrigerant charging (D) would not directly cause moisture to accumulate in the purge unit.
