The refrigerant supplied to a compressor must be

A. Superheated vapour refrigerant 
B. Dry saturated liquid refrigerant 
C. A mixture of liquid and vapour refrigerant 
D. None of these 

Answer: A - Superheated vapour refrigerant 

The refrigerant supplied to a compressor must be superheated vapour refrigerant.

Solution:

Dry compression of refrigerant is always preferred over wet compression in a compressor because wet compression might result in liquid refrigerant being trapped in the head of the cylinder, potentially damaging the valve. For the above-mentioned reason, the refrigerant supplied to a compressor must be a superheated vapour refrigerant.
