Technician B says that the refrigerant leaves the bottom of the condenser as a high-pressure, high-temperature liquid. Who is correct?
- Technician A only

- Technician A feels up and down the face or along the return bends of the condenser for a temperature change and says that there should be a gradual change from hot to warm from the bottom to the top. Technician B says that a restriction in the condenser will be evident by a sudden change in temperature. Who is correct? Technician A only Technician B only Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is not true about orifice tube systems? The suction line must be cool to the touch from the evaporator outlet to the compressor. The liquid line from the condenser outlet to the evaporator inlet should be cool. The evaporator should feel very cold. The accumulator must be cool to the touch.arrow_forwardTechnician A says that air in the system can cause excessive pressure within the system, restricting the refrigerants ability to change its state from gas to liquid within the refrigeration cycle. Technician B says that moisture can cause freeze-up at the cap tube or expansion valve, which restricts refrigerant flow or blocks it completely. Who is correct?
