Question

question # 19 what happens to a refrigerant that is heated above the saturation temperature? a it remains in the vapor state. b it remains in the liquid state. c it absorbs moisture at an increased rate. d it cools the compressor more efficiently.

Explanation:

When a refrigerant is heated above its saturation temperature, it is in a super - heated state and remains in the vapor state. Saturation temperature is the temperature at which a refrigerant changes phase (from liquid to vapor or vice - versa). Above this temperature, all liquid has vaporized and further heating just increases the temperature of the vapor.

Answer:

A. It remains in the vapor state.
