Refrigeration & Air Conditioning USCG Question #965 (Set 19)

In a two stage centrifugal air conditioning system, the liquid refrigerant passes through the condenser directly to what component?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — economizer

In multi-stage centrifugal systems, liquid refrigerant leaving the condenser passes through an economizer (or flash chamber). This flash-gas removal process cools the liquid further and feeds intermediate pressure vapor directly to the compressor stage, boosting overall thermodynamic efficiency.
