When recovering the remaining R-134a refrigerant from the centrifugal chiller shown in the illustration as a vapor using the recovery unit’s compressor, in addition to opening valves "1a", "1b", and the compressor suction and discharge isolation valves, which of the following would be the correct valve lineup? Illustration GS-RA-28
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) valves "3", "4", and "6" open; valves "2", "5", "7", "8", and "10" closed.
This is the correct answer because when recovering the remaining R-134a refrigerant from the centrifugal chiller as a vapor, the recovery process requires the compressor suction and discharge isolation valves to be open, along with valves "3", "4", and "6". This allows the refrigerant vapor to be drawn into the recovery unit's compressor for proper containment and disposal.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they either have the wrong valves open or closed, which would not allow the proper flow of refrigerant vapor to the recovery unit for safe handling.

A service check determines that the suction pressure remains above the normal cut-in point during cycling and that the discharge pressure rapidly builds up to the cut-out point while running and gradually falls to the cut-in point during the off cycle. What is likely the cause? #101 To add small amounts of refrigerant to the low side of an air conditioning system, the refrigerant should be introduced through a particular valve and in a particular state.
