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

• Agree — discharge is high-pressure superheated vapor.
• Disagree — it is saturated vapor at compressor exit.
• Disagree — it is subcooled liquid leaving the compressor.
• True only for centrifugal compressors, not for reciprocating.
