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.
To recover the remaining R-134a refrigerant from the centrifugal chiller as a vapor, the proper valve lineup is to open the compressor suction and discharge isolation valves, as well as valves "3", "4", and "6". This allows the refrigerant vapor to be drawn into the recovery unit's compressor through the suction line, while isolating the refrigerant from the rest of the chiller system by closing valves "2", "5", "7", "8", and "10".
The other answer choices are incorrect because they either do not fully isolate the refrigerant from the chiller system or do not provide the appropriate flow path for the refrigerant vapor to be drawn into the recovery unit's compressor.
