Refrigeration & Air Conditioning USCG Question #280 (Set 5)

In a refrigeration system, from what location would air and non-condensable gases be removed?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — the top of the condenser purge connection

Non-condensable gases and air are lighter than liquid refrigerant and accumulate in the highest dead zones of the system, specifically at the top of the condenser shell or receiver, where dedicated purge connections are installed.
