ESCO Air Conditioning Practice Exam

In a refrigeration cycle, which component is responsible for absorbing heat from the space to be cooled?

1. Blower

2. Compressor

3. Condenser

4. Evaporator

The correct answer is: Blower

Explanation The blower is not responsible for absorbing heat from the space to be cooled as its main function is to circulate the cooled air throughout the space. The compressor is responsible for increasing the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant, but it does not absorb heat. The condenser is responsible for dissipating the heat from the refrigerant, not absorbing it. The evaporator is the correct answer as it is designed to absorb heat from the space to be cooled by evaporating the refrigerant. This allows the refrigerant to absorb heat from the space and then distribute it to the condenser for dissipation.
