- Technician A says that when the refrigerant is pumped out of the compressor and sent to the condenser, heat in the refrigerant is moved to the outside air by conduction and convection. 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 B only Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_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? Technician A only Technician B only Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A says that when the A7C system is off, the refrigerant occupies the system as a liquid and its pressure is the same throughout the system. Technician B says that refrigerant is pumped out of the compressor as a high-pressure, high-temperature vapor and is sent to the condenser. Who is correct?
