Refrigeration cycle state point: condition of refrigerant after the compressor and before the condenser Evaluate the statement about a vapor-compression system: “After leaving the compressor and before entering the condenser, the refrigerant is in the superheated-vapor state.” Choose whether this statement is correct.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Agree — discharge is high-pressure superheated vapor.

Explanation:

Cycle reasoning
Compressor raises pressure and temperature of the incoming vapor. The exit state is typically a superheated vapor at condenser pressure. The condenser then desuperheats, condenses, and (optionally) subcools the refrigerant.


Final Answer
Agree — the refrigerant is superheated vapor between compressor and condenser.
