Type III — Low-PressureQuestion 181 of 240
A device that automatically maintains the correct refrigerant level between the condenser and evaporator of a low-pressure chiller is the:
a.Float valve
b.Rupture disk
c.Purge unit
d.Suction accumulator
Explanation
A float valve meters refrigerant flow to maintain the proper level in a low-pressure chiller. The rupture disk is a pressure-relief safety device, the purge unit removes non-condensables, and an accumulator protects the compressor from liquid. Knowing the float's role helps in diagnosing chiller performance.
