Conair MPA User Manual

Water-cooled models use tube-in-tube heat exchangers to
condense the hot, compressed, refrigerant gas from the
compressor to a cool liquid.
The cool liquid refrigerant passes through a filter/dryer,
which protects the system from moisture or other contami-
nants. An in-line sight glass gives a visual indication of
proper refrigerant charge and any dangerous moisture pre-
sent in the system.
The refrigerant passes through a thermal expansion valve,
where it expands, cools and is precisely metered into the
refrigerant heat exchanger (evaporator). 
The evaporator removes the heat from the process fluid.
