Question 77Refrigeration/AC - 1st Asst/Chief70% to pass
Heat is removed from the refrigerant circulating through the refrigeration system, shown in the illustration, by which component? Illustration GS-RA-12
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B.
The refrigerant circulating through the refrigeration system removes heat from the refrigerant through the component labeled B, which is the condenser. The condenser is responsible for removing the heat absorbed by the refrigerant in the evaporator (component A) and discharging that heat to the surrounding air or water. This is a key part of the refrigeration cycle and is necessary for the system to operate efficiently.
The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the component responsible for removing heat from the refrigerant. Option A is the evaporator, which absorbs heat, option C is the receiver, and option D is the compressor, which compresses the refrigerant, but does not directly remove heat from it.
