In the context of the PT chart, what does the term "saturation" refer to?
The point at which a refrigerant is fully vaporized
The point at which a refrigerant is fully condensed
The point at which a refrigerant is in equilibrium between liquid and vapor
The point at which a refrigerant is frozen
Why is it important to use a PT chart in the HVACR industry?
To determine the color of refrigerants
