The condition of refrigerant at the exit of the compressor in a vapor compression refrigeration system is:
Answer: D
The refrigerant leaves the compressor as superheated vapor.
In the standard vapor compression cycle, the refrigerant enters the compressor as dry saturated (or slightly superheated) vapor from the evaporator. Compression raises its pressure and, being close to isentropic, raises its temperature above the saturation temperature at the condenser pressure, so it leaves superheated.
Saturated liquid is the state at the condenser exit, before the expansion valve. Wet vapor is the state after the expansion valve, entering the evaporator. Dry saturated vapor is the usual state at the compressor inlet, not the outlet.
